I can only use my left to scratch my right hand. That's it. |
righty, though I do use my left hand for a lot of dominant things....though some of that is just consciously using it more to keep it limbered up from my wreck years ago that resulted in my wrist getting lots of pretty titanium jewelry for a few weeks...

In a similar case as johnco, I broke my right arm near the wrist in the 1st grade, both bones, 3 places. Didn't take a correct set and had to be rebroken. I couldn't use that arm for months, and used my left for drawing, writing, everything.
I went back to using the right for writing after the arm healed but still kept using the left for a lot of things. I can write with both, but it looks different. Still readable, but different slant to everything. I reverse most things like fork & knife usage, scissors, etc. - use predominantly my left hand for those things. I've also been told I 'clap wrong' - giving applause, I clap left-hand on-top. I had never thought about that one until recently. |
Lefty for one handed tasks, mostly righty for two handed tasks.
Random lefty question. Why do most door knobs turn the wrong way? :D |
I'm pretty much right down the middle. I write left handed. Shoot right handed. Eat left handed. Cut right handed. Kick right footed. Bat left handed. Use a right handed glove. Throw a football left handed. Hammer either handed. Am right eye dominant. Use right handed scissors and right handed mouse. Bowl left handed.
I think I lean left. So an item like a pencil has no handedness, so it went left. Toy holsters were all on the right. Kicking? My brothers set me up for right footed kicking with a football. Bat? No handedness, so it went left. Glove? Brothers had right handed gloves. |
The percentage of "amphibians" actually surprises me....didn't expect that at all.

I consider myself ambi since I feel that I can switch hands at any time doing any activity and perform pretty much identically. I think that's the definition of the ability.
I'm not sure most who answer that way though could do any and every task with both. Doing a few things left and a few things right handed isn't actually what being ambidextrous is. |
I agree with your definition too and believe you are correct regarding the poll results.

Writing, lefty. Computer mouse, righty. Imo ambidextrous means you can switch hands when writing a letter and your writing doesn't go from schoolyard quality to schoolyard hieroglyphics... |

Left handed 98% of the time. I play golf right handed and use scissors right handed. That's what was available so that's what I learned. I was a switch hitter when I played baseball.
Everything else is Left handed. Supposedly only left handed people can hold a writing instrument in each hand and write forward and backward simultaneously. |
I write and throw right handed. I hit a baseball better left handed and golf better right handed, but can do both pretty well from the other side. Tennis either right or left, serve better as a righty. Mostly right handed I would say.

A higher than expected percentage of 'sinister' folks here.

Hammering a nail or any task where your "off" fingers/hand are in danger of injury. |
krichard............You described me too. Q: When you serve a tennis ball, Racquet in right hand, after the serve, do you switch the racquet to you're left hand to finish the volley?

I am also out of practice writing the alternative way, partly as people have trouble reading it for some reason. Dennis |
