Different ways of holding a pen

I thought this was so interesting, particularly because they only featured right handers. I wonder if the grips are different if you are a left hander. I have heard that left-handed people tend to grip their pens much harder and apply more pressure to the paper. This is true for me but I am not sure how prevalent it is.

My grip, as a left-handed person, is dynamic tripod, though I have seen many left-handers use the dynamic quadropod grip. As a teacher, I have probably seen well over 1000 students writing, although it is less common now. Most younger students bring laptops to lessons, although older students tend to take notes by hand.
