The way you hold your phone can reveal a lot about you.
With so many people using smartphones these days, researchers have noticed some trends. When you make a call or scroll, how do you hold your phone? Do you hold it with one hand or two? Which finger usually touches the screen? Some psychologists believe the way you hold your device may say a lot about your personality.
Let’s take a look at the four most common ways people hold their phone. The first is the “single-hand” user. In this position, people hold the phone in their dominant hand and use their thumb to tap the screen. People who fit in this type are often practical and confident, but they may also be risk- takers. With one hand free, this grip reflects a laid-back attitude. However, they may also act too quickly and make more mistakes.
Then there are those who hold their phone with two hands and use both thumbs to type and navigate the screen. This is the “two thumbs” position. People who use two thumbs to tap the screen are usually focused and hard-working. They like to solve problems quickly and don’t like to waste time. Despite their efficiency, others may view these people as pushy or too serious.

你拿手機的方式可以透露出你的大小事。
隨著現代使用智慧型手機的人數眾多,研究人員注意到一些趨 勢。你打電話或滑手機時,你是怎麼拿手機的呢?你用單手還是雙手 拿?通常是哪隻手指觸碰螢幕?一些心理學家認為,你拿裝置的方式 可能透露出許多關於你的個性的事。
來看看四種最常見的人們拿手機的姿勢吧。第一種是「單手」的 使用者。用此姿勢時,人們會用慣用手拿手機,並用大拇指點擊螢 幕。符合此類型的人通常是既實際又自信的,但他們可能也勇於冒 險。因為一隻手空著,這種握東西的方式反映出輕鬆隨性的態度。然 而,他們可能也會因行動過於匆促而犯下更多錯誤。
接著是那些用雙手拿手機、兩手拇指打字或瀏覽螢幕的人。這是 「雙拇指」姿勢。使用兩手拇指點擊螢幕的人通常很專注也很勤奮。他 們喜歡迅速解決問題,不喜歡浪費時間。儘管他們做事效率高,其他
人可能會認為這些人很咄咄逼人或太過嚴肅。
