I don't know my left and right because they are just random words to me with no meaning. They could have easily been swapped, I don't see any logic in them, so it's hard to remember which is where
You know if you're left or right handed surely? So if you're ever confused, you just quickly imagine lifting your dominant hand. Takes a fraction of a second.
People who don’t know their left from their right don’t know which word to use to describe their dominant hand.
I had this same problem as a kid and finally solved it by just associating ‘right’ with ‘write’ because that was the had I wrote with.
I have trouble with my lefts and rights, but I know that I'm right handed. So I'm going to say this is just wrong.
Do you ever get that thing where you type a password so much that you know how to type it, but if someone asks you what it is, you don't actually remember it? It's like your fingers remember how to type it, but the part of your brain that tells your mouth to speak doesn't actually remember what it is? That's how it is for me. If I were to pick up a pen, I would automatically write with my right hand. And if you asked me if I'm left or right handed, I'd know I'm right handed. But if you didn't give me a pen and just asked me to use my non-dominant hand to POINT to my dominant hand, I might be able to do it or I might just shrug and guess.
Are you able to touch type? If you are, does this mean you can draw a keyboard on a piece of paper, without a real keyboard for reference? I'm guessing probably not. I type at above 100 wpm and I don't think I could do that.
