About 90% of people write, eat, and throw with their right hand. That means their right side is dominant(主导的), or in control.

The hand isn't the only part of the body that can be dominant. An ear can also be dominant It's usually the ear a person uses to listen on a phone. Even an eye can be dominant. To find out which one of your eyes is dominant, try this experiment.

1.Hold your arms straight out and make a triangle（三角形) with your both bands. Bring your hands closer together until there is a small opening. You should be able to see through the triangle with Just one eye.

2. Find a small object(物体)in your room or an object far from you. Focus on it through the triangle you made. Make sure your both eyes are open.

3. Keeping both eyes open, slowly move back the triangle to your face. As you do this, make sure you always can see the object through the triangle

4. When the triangle nearly touches your face note which eye it is in front of. That is your dominant eye.

If you want to double-check that you’ve found your dominant eye, try this: Look at the object again through the little triangle. Don't move your hands or head. Close your left eye If the object jumps out of sight, you are left-eye dominant. If it jumps when closing the right eye, you are right-eye dominant If it does not jump at all there is no dominance.
