OK easy test. Make a circle with your hand using your thumb and pointing finger about 18" in front of your face. Look through it with both eyes and focus on an object through the hole in the background like a picture on the wall or a face on TV. Now HOLD that circle in the same spot and don't move it. Close your left eye, can you still see the object? Open your left eye and close your right eye, do you still see the object. The eye that sees the original object you focused on is your dominant eye.

I'm so right eye dominant, that the other day in the eye doctor, they dialated my pupils, which makes it really difficult to focus. I forgot about it, and tried to look at myself in a mirror. As I got closer to it, my right eye looked straight ahead, and my left eye became extremely crossed, that's some wild stuff to see!

I found a book today that my wife bought for me a few years ago and reread it today. It's a book on left-handedness. Of course everyone knows that left handed people are right brained people and vice versa.
A select few left handers write in a hooking fashion. Maybe you've seen left handers that write with their hand above the words they are writing or they rotate the paper so as to write with their hand above the word instead of below it as most people do. Well it was found that these "hooking" left handers were actually left brain people. They were not right handers who were writing left, but left handed people who were left brained. So I am one of these people. Of course it was so strange to the researcher she originally thought it to occur in brain damaged people (hooray for me
) but in actuality they were not. As yet it is unexplained. I may just be pathologial. (again hooray for me )
So I've got that going for me.

I don't think I've ever noticed that in the past. I guess I just don't pay attention to those sorts of things.
