Are you right handed, left handed, or ambidextrous?

I am right handed. When I was a teen, I was so right handed I could barely do a thing with my left, it was totally uncoordinated. Then my Mom, who was also right handed, slipped on the ice and broke her right arm. I spent weeks afterwards trying to do as much as I could with my left hand, "just in case."

I am right handed too, but I can work pretty well with my left hand at some things. When I was younger I use to practice writing with my left hand just for fun. It was very sloppy but ledgible.

I am right handed. I can't do fine work with the left hand (like penmanship or using eating utensils) but I can do many other things left handed. I can throw and catch left handed. I can use some of my grooming tools left handed (so when my right arm gets tired, I can give it a bit of a break).

Right handed, I can't even throw a ball with my left hand, it really really gives meaning to "throws like a girl" when I throw with my left hand lol.

I am very strongly right-handed, but can write left-handed if necessary. I practiced doing so when I was bored in school, after my friend broke her right wrist rollerskating. So when I have been in "secret Santa" sitations, I just write out the tags left-handed, and no one recognizes the writing!

Paul is left-handed, which thrilled my lefty mother, as all her own children are righties!

I am ambidextrous. At school they learned me to write with my "right" hand. I found out later that I was also able to write with my left hand; I can even write in "mirror" with both hands, as well as updide down :) ! This "mirror" writing was very handy when I was still a teacher. I could write in mirror in the air, so the kids saw the word correctly. Do I make myself clear? :D

I wash windows using both hands: when my right hand gets tired, I use the other hand :) ? VERY handy!!

I am left handed but I do lots of stuff with my right hand, I cannot even use lefty scissors I have to use righty scissors with my right hand. I guess I could kind of be ambidextrous because I use my right hand for everything else. I can write with it too but probably more like a kindergartener would :p

I'm a lefty, but I can't cut with scissors using left, I need to use right to use scissors.

I'm left handed. I hope that Nathan will be right handed. Everything thing is designed around right handed people and us left handers struggle.

For those of you that are left handed do you write with a hook? I don't, but I so often see people that do.

I'm not sure if I'm right-handed or ambidextrious. I write with my right-hand, and it's much more coordinated. However, I can write pretty well with my left-hand as well and there's a few things I can't do with my right hand. I can't do a right-handed cart wheel, and I also prefer to catch with my left.

I am also right handed and writing with my left is a scribble.

Lut! You amaze me! :eek: I would like to see you in action! ;)

I'm right handed. I don't even recall nobody in my family to be left handed.
When young tried to write with my left hand,always would like to be ambidextrous, I could but it was like kids handwriting.

Generally I'm right handed, although I can write quite competantly with my left. I hardly ever do so, though, as when writing in pen, you smudge the words as you move along the page with your left hand!

Ambidextrous. Tho I prefer to do some things with a perticular hand like write with my right hand ((with your left hand, like Zara said, smudging words and stuff)) and eat with my left had although I can do both equally with each hand. It's just more convienient. I also use scissors with my right hand because I'm pretty sure most scissors are for right handed people. I also use the mouse on the computer with my right hand because it's a right handed mouse ;) :p .

I'm a strong lefty. I do very few things with my right hand :)

I'm right handed, mostly out of habit I think. I can use my left pretty well, I just don't. I cannot draw with my left, but I can tweeze my eyebrows just fine with my left.

I'm left handed and I do almost everything with my left hand, except using the mouse in the computer - I use my right hand for that.
My dad and sister are left handed too. :)

Right handed, but left foot dominant. When I play hop scotch, I hop on my left foot. In fact, if I tried to do it on my right foot, I would fall down.

My left eye is stronger, and my left ear hears better.
