Hand clasping is the superposition of each finger of
one hand over the corresponding finger of the opposite hand. When clasping
the hands, a person tends to interlace the fingers in one of two ways.
People who hold the fingers of the right hand above the
left fingers are classified as phenotype R (right), while those who hold the
fingers of the left hand above those of the right are phenotype L (left).
Although some people do not exhibit a preference for
one type of hand clasping, most do. Once adopted, the method of hand clasping
tends to be consistent throughout life. When an individual attempts to clasp
the hands in the opposite configuration from the usual one, that person may
feel a sense that something is out of the ordinary.
(Your humble blogger
is a strong L).
