Left (but perhaps left-handers are more likely to reply because they see it
as more novel and interesting than a right-hander might).

I am right handed, although I seem to have above-average(for right 
handed people) coordination in my left hand. (are there tests to measure 
the degree of handedness?)

I am ambidextrous too - but if I -had- to choose one over other, I'd choose
Right Handed.

Actually, I find the left-handed coordinate system quite natural.
(Although I was introduced to it before I had any 3D in school) With the
right hand on the mouse or keyboard, my left is free to move around and
"model". I'm so used to it now that I don't even think about it; I just
know "rotate z" goes a certain direction.

Ambidextrous, but I'll generally write things with my right hand.

Post a reply to this message

It depends on the context.
  I use the left-handed system in povray. I type pov-scripts with both hands
(neither one types more letters than the other in the average). IRL I'm
right-handed.

I have some ambidexterity, like throwing and batting with left (baseball
example), but no ability to write left handed and not great otherwise either.

I know there are tests, because they figured prominently in a study
I posted the URL for over in .off-topic in the dreaded "Discrimination" 
thread.  I don't recall whether they mentioned the specifics of the
test or not.

This at least makes some sense.

    Dominance is -never- complete. -Everybody- has some situations under
which they are more dominant with the other hand. As a kid I worked in IHOP
and everyone there learned to flip eggs in a pan without a spatula. Almost
every right handed person learned to do it with the left hand, because the
pancake spatula was in their right hand. The one guy I know didn't do it
that way was notable because he always had to switch hands to flip
eggs...switch back to flip pancakes.

     I still have to do it with my left hand.

    Oh, and... as if we didn't know... right dominant, probably 60/40... may
have been naturally left dominant but was taught to write right-handed,
Thankfully.

No, I don't think so.
The List of Ages is nice and simple as it is now.
It is a list, not a database.

Keeping all kinds of info on the POV-Ray
users is a job for the POV-Ray USER-Base.
Unfortunately there's no such thing...

Besides, where would the line go?
There's almost infinitely many surveys you could
make, and if you put all the information into
one database you would end up with a mess of
fractioned data, which would be difficult to
handle, and be of little use.

Oh well, I've said more than enough here...

Greetings,

Rune

It takes more fine motor skill to use the knife than the fork, so if you
hold with the fork with the left and cut with the knife with the right
and don't switch hands to eat you'd be usin' left so who cares anyway :-)

Coordinate system has nothing to do with physical handedness of the user. And
everyone types with both hands AFAIK.

So far:

[A]  3   7.9%
[R] 21.8 57.4%

Of course with all the percentages and ambidexterities this is not very
accurate.

But I do have difficulties distinguishing left from right. 
When I was getting my drivers license I got the right direction about
50% of the time. Which is not very good, considering the choices.
