Hmm... Well, it's slightly indistinguishable from a normal wrist at a fast glance, or even stare. You can do one out of two things to figure out if your wrist is double jointed.

Method 1: The rest of your body.

Most likely if your wrist is double jointed, some other body parts are too, such as the fingers and arm. Try bending your fingers far back, but if they start to hurt stop immediately! Also, you can try to touch your thumb to the same wrist.

Method 2:

There are things you can do to determine if you are double jointed in the wrist. If your wrist starts to hurt badly while doing any of these tricks, stop quickly and rest it. Or, set your arm down, with your elbow on a table. Now, turn your palm to touch the table, leaving your elbow against the table also.

My sources? Why, I'm double jointed in approximately 37 joints.

1. Take your wrist and bend it back. Yep. Backwards. If it goes farther then you think it should without pain, congrats. You have joined the millions of amazing, awesome

double jointed people.

A double-jointed wrist appears to be able to bend further backward than usual, giving it a greater range of motion. This can make the wrist appear hyper-extended or seem like it can rotate in ways that are not typical for most people.
