Which is dominant, and do the results correlate with your handedness?

i'm both right-eyed and right-handed

[Thyme]

left-eyed, right-handed

I don't get how this works. Isn't it just how you position your hands?

It's similar to when firing a gun. If you are holding it in the left hand you want to line it up with your right eye closed. With the right hand you want it with your left eye closed.

yes, you can change which eye is "dominant"  by moving your head around lol

i get cross-eyed when i focus on something right in front of me ;_;

[bluaki]

I'm left eyed and (mostly) left-handed

I didn't clack the link but another test for this is to hold your finger in front of your face and close each eye, whichever eye keeps the finger in place is the dominant eye.

i am left-handed and right-eyed

This also seems to depend on hand position. Neither eye seems to move the hand if it's close to the center of my face


If i shift it left or right and try it then the eye that moves the hand changes.

unless i'm weird and they are equi-dominant.

the doctors ruined my left eye and i write with my right hand . so ya

[[hedy]Zidone]

I have significantly more trouble closing just my left eye than my right eye, but I did the test and I'm right-eyed.

I'm left-handed.

lol i just realized neither eye is more dominant than the other because i can still see the knob when i close either eye

i think they probably are considering your ambidexterity(?all coons are ambidextrous(?)). when I do the finger thing, with a pretty wide range of different positions in front of my face, closing one eye always 'fills it in' and the other makes it 'shift'.

*tries to find a good  click-clack commercial on youtube but fails*

that finger thing is also a bad test because i get crossed eye focusing on something (that is i simultaneously see both the left and right eyed views)

 also i am really good at archery irl, or at least use to be
