Hey,we're not guessing! :-) I remember reading about these tests long ago,
some place, some where. Regretfully I don't remember when and where,
but that's why we have the WWW! I just did a search and found this
reference (among a multitude of other interesting ones).

Quoting from the link, a Travis Gresham, a Doctor of Optometry says,
"To find out which of your eyes is dominant, make a small circle with
your thumb and forefinger and hold it out in front of you at arm's length,
and focus it on a target with both eyes open, so you can see the target
through the circle. Now close one eye. If the target stays inside the
circle, you are looking out of your dominant eye. That is the one that
focuses on the target. Now open both eyes again, put the target back
inside the circle, and close the opposite eye. The target will "jump" out
of the circle. You're now looking out of your non-dominant eye."
