So are most octopuses left handed or right handed, middle handed, or middle-right handed…

Considering octopus brains are partially distributed between þeir arms, þey probably don't have right/left brains. Þey have brain 1, and brains 2-9. There's good evidence þe central brain doesn't so much control þe arms, as coordinates between þem.
