I am allright.

 

I have both a left and a right hand

Let me guess. This thread will be swarming with ambidextrous people. As everyone has an intelligence far above average on this board when asked.

One of the biggest official surveys on this was made by RSL-Research Services Ltd testing more than 8000 people of all age groups. Each Age group never had a percentage of above 1% of both-handedness.

OF course everyone is ambidextrous to some degree. Its not like one of our hands is dangling by our side... Ok I'll scroll up now and enjoy your shameless bragging

I'm right handed. I can't kick a ball straight with my left foot if my life depended on it.

Left handed people have a great advantage in sports though. I've played table tennis games against lefties before and they spin the ball the opposite way. If a right forehanded hit spins it clockwise, a left forehanded hit spins it counterclockwise... just not used to it because you don't see it too often. So I got wasted.

 

I strongly right-handed, and Velcro is mostly right-handed except for a few things that his left-handed father taught him to do (e.g., fishing). What's really been fun is watching our son develop handed-ness. We think he's going to be a lefty, because he eats and throws much better with his left.

 

I'm almost purely right-handed. I'm training my left hand, but can't seem to advance any further

 

Righthanded everywhere except when I play cards...

 

I'm left-handed.

As a matter of curiosity, I don't know if you knew, but the Latin word for right-handed is the same as the Latin word for dexterous. And the Latin word for left-handed is the same as the Latin word for sinister.

 

That's because people used to view left-handeders as cursed or afflicted by the devil or something like that.

It's funny when a thread comes up a second or third time, and I can remember my reply to the last one.

I'm right handed, right footed. But I've learned to do so many daily things with my left hand, quite well, that it's a bit blury.

I can shave, throw a baseball with about 90% of the accuracy of my right arm, write, use a mouse, use a fork or knife, and even shoot, left handed. I'm actually a better shot with my left hand than my right hand, but it's only because I'm at the gun range and relaxed. In a real crisis, my left hand accuracy would drop drastically.

 

I'm a lefty!!! But oddly enough, when I play baseball, I bat right-handed. I also throw frisbees right-handed

 

I am ambidextrous, well at least partly. I do alot of things like eat with my left hand often, but write much better with my right. An interesting thought: My dad is Left handed, Mom Right, youngest son Left, daughter Right.. and I'm somewhere in the middle hehe

 

Im "righty"... But i can use my left arm as well, it is not just for decoration

 

As a right handed and footed, I feel that people who write, play football (soccer) or do other things with their left hand or foot, always look clumsy. Does anyone else feel like that?

 

Not me. I've had some left-footed football players get the better of me on the pitch.

 

Kitiara! Haven't seen you around lately.

I'm right-handed. I can write with my left, but it looks so bad that I'm not going to claim to be ambidextrous.

 

I'm left handed but it doesn't really matter which hand I use, since my handwriting is so terrible! Thank god for computers, hehe. I use the mouse with my right hand though.

Oh, my grandmother was left handed as well, but back in the '30s or whenever she grew up they thought that was abnormal so they hit her wrists with a ruler if she wrote left handed! So she ended up ambidextrous...

About shooting left handed, I've never shot a gun before, but I'm probably going to have to when I join the military, so I don't really know which hand I do that with. But I'm curious if the military lets lefties shoot left handed, or if everyone has to shoot right handed? Anyone know?

 

I used to be left handed but I went to a catholic grade school. So you know lefties had their hands whapped with a thick ruler. I write with my right but I pick things up, eat, talk on the phone and scribble with my left.

and they say a catholic education doesn't pay off.
