Left, Right or in between?

Been reading up on left-handed children (Maggie). It's really fascinating. Did you know there are different degrees of left handedness? You also have a dominant foot, eye and ear, but they're not always necessarily the same side.
Just for fun try these:
1. Inagine the centre of your back is itching. Which hand do you scratch it with?
2.Interlock your fingers. Which thumb is uppermost?
3.Imagine you are applauding. Start clapping your hands. Which hand is uppermost?
4.W...ink at an imaginary fried straight in front of you. Which eye does the winking?
5.Put your hands behind your back, one holding the other. Which hand does the holding?
6.Someone in front of you is shouting, but you cannot hear the words. Cup your ear with your hand to hear better. Which ear do you cup?
7.Count to three on your fingers using the forefinger of the other hand. Which forefinger do you use?
8.Imagine answering the phone. Which ear do you hold the phone to?
9.An imaginary football is rolling towards you. Which foot do you kick it with?
10. EYE dominance test. Stretch your arm out in front of you and point at a small object some distance away, so that your finger is pointing directly at it. Now close one eye. If the finger is still directly in line with the object, then the eye you have open is your dominant eye. If you now look only with the other eye, the object will appear to shift sharply to one side of your finger, this is your non-dominant eye.

Apparantly very rare for someone to do all these with the same side of the body!
