I read that the INFP is possibly the most right brained which means they're more likely to be left handed. I'm not a lefty and neither is my closest INFP friend but I think it's an interesting thought. Which hand do you write with?

[fretterfet]

Right hand, though I try writing with my left from time to time.

Left. I think if you really wanted to figure out if INFPs are more likely to be left or right handed you'd have to poll all personality types. I think there was a thread on this awhile (like Spring 2011?) and it turned out that handiness is just like in the "real world": lefties are in the minority. I could ultimately be wrong though. Maybe it will be different this time?

I actually just wanted to know if there were more left handed INFPs than right handed ones since they say the hand you write with is the way of telling which side of your brain is dominant. I kind of disagree, I'm extremely right brained and I'm right handed.

My mom told me that when I was younger, I seemed to be left hand dominant. She thought that it would be inconvenient for me later in life, so she encouraged me to use my right hand over my left. Even today though, I am fairly comfortable with both hands. I don't think it would take much effort to refine skills with my left hand at all.

^ I relate to the above, but instead of my mother it was a nasty teacher that emotionally abused me for it (look at the other children, that's the right way!) and I feel equally bad with both hands now.

On a positive note, my handwriting is quite unusual and still very legible.

[anon]

Right-handed, but I can write with my left-hand somewhat too

[Oozi]

I use both hands about equally, do a lot more writing with the left hand. Only other INFP I know in real life is also the same way... lol.

I was born left-handed. Whenever I would pick up a crayon or pencil with my left hand, my ESFJ mother would smack my hand, say "no", and put it in my right hand. I'm right-handed now. Interestingly, when I volunteered for a psychological study a few years ago an EEG showed that my brain activity was between that of a right-handed and a left-handed person.

I'm right handed. My parents have told me that I was trying to be a lefty as a toddler, but they managed to train me to use my right hand. That said, I'm able to train myself to be ambidextrous in most things. I haven't really bothered to train myself to write with my left hand, but I can sort of write with it (English unfortunately works best for right-handed people).
