A person's dominant eye "is determined by subjective alignment of two objects presented at a stereodisparity far beyond Panum's area"[17]. There are a number of ways to do this:
1. The Miles test. The observer extends both arms, brings both hands together to create a small opening, then with both eyes open views a distant object through the opening. The observer then alternates closing the eyes or slowly draws opening back to the head to determine which eye is viewing the object (i.e. the dominant eye)[18][1].
2. The Porta test. The observer extends one arm, then with both eyes open aligns the thumb or index finger with a distant object. The observer then alternates closing the eyes or slowly draws the thumb/finger back to the head to determine which eye is viewing the object (i.e. the dominant eye) [18][2] [3].
3. The observer extends one arm, forms a small, circular opening with the thumb and index finger, then with both eyes open views a distant object through the opening. The observer then alternates closing the eyes or slowly draws the opening back to the head to determine which eye is viewing the object (i.e. the dominant eye).
4. The Dolman method also known as the hole-in-the-card test. The subject is given a card with a small hole in the middle, instructed to hold it with both hands, then instructed to view a distant object through the hole with both eyes open. The observer then alternates closing the eyes or slowly draws the opening back to the head to determine which eye is viewing the object (i.e. the dominant eye).[11]
5. The convergence near-point test. The subject fixates an object that is moved toward the nose until divergence of one eye occurs (i.e. the non-dominant eye). It is an objective test of ocular dominance.[11]
6. Certain stereograms [4].
7. The Pinhole test[19].
8. The Ring test[20].
9. Lens Fogging Technique. The subject fixates a distant object with both eyes open and appropriate correction in place. A +2.00 or +2.50 lens is alternately introduced in front of each eye, which blurs the distant object. The subject is then asked to state in which eye is the blur more noticeable. This is the dominant eye.[citation needed]
10. The Camera Test. The subject brings a camera up to his/her face. Whichever eye is used to look through the viewfinder is the dominant eye. [citation needed]
Forced choice tests of dominance, such as the Dolman method, allow only a right or left eye result.[11]
From wikipedia (know it's not always accurate but it's a good starting point)

i used that one.

you don't need to, i'm just showing there are ways to figure it out. So if these methods exist, then who knows best. The guy who's physically tested it with his own body, or a guy online who is just saying, no you're not - with no proof.
If you come on to a forum and give an open invitation for people to make comments on your style and then don't like the feed back, then I think you’ve made a BOO BOO. If you care to read the comments and take on board what I’m saying it might help you. I think terry might be able to put you right as to what I was trying to tell you.
You seem to know what your talking about. Like I said good luck your need it
Wow this thread has gone slightly nuts...
I am slightly right eye dominant, the aforementioned test proves this as well as my optician... So you cannot argue with that... Unless you'd like to pay me to go to a posher opticians perhaps?
Most people cue under their dominant eye, whether this matters or not is subjective though you have presented no clear reason for or against this approach, your tact seems to be "I am right, the end"
See Liang photo posted, he is obviously not cuing under the centre of his chin
I have also heard the argument that the brain will compensate for this regardless and so it doesn't matter, I am inclined towards this belief however have always cues slightly off the the side of my chin. As many pros do the same thing I don't really see the problem in this?

Well how about this eye dominance thing? i said that there are tests to prove eye dominance, OP said he tried such tests and found that his left eye was dominant. Then there you are denying he is left eye dominant at all. How did you work that out?
