LEFTY TRIVIA And a quiz to see how 'gauche' you are

ARE YOU REALLY LEFT-HANDED?
You might think it would be easy to tell if you're left-handed, but the hand you write with isn't always a good indicator. Experts say we're all somewhere in between, with most people having a weaker or stronger preference for the right hand. Many people routinely perform some tasks with the right hand and others with the left. Societal pressure has something to do with that. For instance, no one ever shakes with the left hand, so even lefties always do that right-handed. Here are some questions to help you decide which category you lean toward.
Which hand do you normally use to:
Raise for answering a question.
Switch lights on and off.
Brush your teeth.
Comb your hair.
Use a hammer.
Throw dice.
Count things.
Open a door.
If you use your left hand to do a majority of the above activities, then you might actually be left-handed.
Also, if you put out your left arm to stop yourself from falling; climb stairs beginning with your left foot; cross the left lace on top of the right when tying shoes; or if your left arm is longer than your right, you're probably a natural lefty.
