Left-hemisphere, right-handed brainlets have the qualities most important to being excellent NPCs.
Meanwhile, right-hemisphere, left-handed thinkers are more likely to have the critical traits necessary to ask "why." Only 10% of the population, they have been proven by science to be have superior mental acumen but this line of research has been recently suppressed by modern (((academia))).
This is a continuation of millenia of oppression that left-handed people have suffered at the hands of religious NPCs who hold that left-handedness is "evil" and "of the devil."

You sound like an irrational leftist right now, desperately claiming that we're all the same from the neck up.

If there's no difference and it's all nonsense, why is this a fact:
>Left-handers are often excluded from study cohorts in neuroscience and neurogenetics in order to reduce variance in the data. However, recent investigations have shown that the inclusion or targeted recruitment of left-handers can be informative in studies on a range of topics, such as cerebral lateralization and the genetic underpinning of asymmetrical brain development.

>Figure 1. Hemispheric specialization for affective motivation depends on handedness.
>Conclusion: The hemispheric correlates of approach motivation reversed between right- and left-handers, consistent with the way they typically use their dominant and nondominant hands to perform approach and avoidance actions. In both right- and left-handers, approach motivation was lateralized to the same hemisphere that controls the dominant hand.
I'd tell you to think a bit more critically, let go of your assumptions and consider the evidence, but perhaps that's not something you've been taught how to do. I don't hold it against you but I encourage you to just be quiet while a /sci/ thread is underway.

Imagine not understanding averages as you present a lone outlier to "debunk" a claim based on observation of tens of thousands of people.
We are talking about the innate, genetic quality of left- or right hemisphere dominance, it is fixed at birth and persists no matter what you do from that point on.
If I cut off your right hand and you're forced to become left handed, you still have the same brain. If you lost both hands and have to write with your feet, you're STILL the same brain. Not that hard.

The problem is precisely that the image does not mention averages, "tens of thousands of people" or correlation anywhere. The image makes hard, unconditional claims such as "Mostly R's = Left brained," which are simply false.

You can find a LOT of studies showing no major differences between left/right-handed people...

As always, you can find studies in pro or against what you want. A study that found a statitistical fluke in a certain test doesn't mean much against hundred of other studies.

>how to find your stronger eye
That is literally bullshit. You just randomly choose one of the two switches you are seeing, nothing to do with you having a strong and a weak eye.

If you actually want to find out your dominant eye, have your eyes see two completely different but equally stimulating images and see which one of the images overtakes your vision.
Also repeat the experiment a few times and switch sides to be sure. At least for me it's semi random with right eye coming up top more often.

>> No.10089880

I know it is common but it is also bullshit. The thumb test version of this has you sticking your thumb about 10 inches from your face and covering some distant object like a light switch with it, then closing one of your eyes to see if your thumb still covers the switch and if it does that's your dominant eye.

The problem is that everyone I've ever talked to saw 2 thumbs while keeping both eyes open and only randomly decided which thumb goes over the switch. From that point onwards I don't know how you convince yourself that it's a valid test at all when you are obviously in full control when deciding which eye gets to have the blocked view.

Same principle with the test described in the OP. You're seeing 2 triangles but decide to center the switch using one of them. "You just need to focus on the one that comes to you naturally" arguments don't convince me at all.

Parents often prevent children from being lefties. Therefore, I'm going to guess that that hemisphere stuff develops at the same time as a child is learning to feed themselves otherwise left biased science studies would run into right handers with right hemisphere dominance because there would be plenty of fake right handed people. Probably some evolutionary trait to be able to protect the strong side of your brain with your weapon. As far as lefties being smarter, probably because every left handed person is exposed to a righty world and must relate to it as others do in order to get by. They also have an advantage in a fight because they are well used to right handed people while right handed people will find them unpredictable. I'm left handed because I picked the red scissors in preschool. I can use chopsticks with either hand because it is not as familiar as a fork. Not because ambidextrous. Anybody can do shit if they practice and lefties get more practice.
