Disclaimer: Label switching and why I may not be a good INFP template

INFP. Hand confusion. Neurotypical. All just labels. But mixed handedness aka hand confusion maps to all sorts of other developmental, mental health, and neurological/psychosomatic issues.

This is a 11:30 minute long disclaimer.

I am grateful to believe myself (generally) normal, neurotypical. But where does Jungian cognition stop and mal-adaptation start? I may not be a great example of an INFP: as it turns out, I've likely got other labels exerting their influence. My hand confusion as a symptom of brain confusion.

There will be no validating my assumptions about scrambled brain functions with medical testing. It wouldn't achieve anything useful: I don't like doing medical stuff, it's costly and time consuming, I'd learn nothing useful, and there are no viable action items.

I said I would include some links --

Here's one of a bunch of publications on the latest study of more than 200,000 people, correlating all sorts of issues to being left (but most frequently mixed) handed.

(there are many other older studies in this field, with all sorts of claims and counter-claims).

Here's an old YouTube video about someone who talks about mixed-handedness (I co-opted his metaphor of identical twins vs. fraternal twins, and then mixed up paternal vs. fraternal).
   • My Thoughts on Handedness, Ambidexterity &...  

Dario Nardi in his book Neuroscience of Personality notes that half of lefties have a mirror image of right-handed, and half have "unusual brain organization" (that presumably can't be typed under his EEG approach).

And to credit the study from which I cribbed term "failure to establish cerebral asymmetry": https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...
