When I was an undergrad many moons ago my senior thesis dealt with
hemispheric dominance.  As I recall, eye and hand preference did not have
a significant correlation.

I also recall that one of the better "quick and dirty" tests for
handedness was "which hand do you hold a hammer in when driving a
nail into a piece of wood?"

Lastly, the journal "Cortex" was still publishing a lot of dominance
research last time I looked...todd
