I use my feet for everything.
OK, I'll answer for real this time. Right handed, pretty much entirely. I suck doing anything with left hand.

.
I'm a natural lefty, but when i was a child (during the '60) all people used to tell me that the left hand was the "bad" hand ( ) so i had to learn writing using the "good" right hand and now i can write with both hands, i'm a "forced" ambidextrous
.

I'm a leftie, and a play my guitar like left-handed, preferably with the strings turned upside-down, but I can play with "right handed" strings too. However, I can't play as a right-handed (left hand on a fretboard).

With me it goes the other way round. Could it be possible that you are
the opposite of me? Are you coincidentally small, have blue eyes and
play the keys?

Generally, I'm right-handed. But the ability of my left hand is quite above the average. There are actions I do much more successfully with my left hand. For example, to roll up the sleeves -- my right sleeve is always much neater than the left one. The same thing is with driving the ball (or how do you say this in English? -- lead the ball), say, in basketball. My left hand controlls the ball much better than the right hand does. I can write with my left hand, and the writings are quite readable (however, they are still not at the normal level).

I'm right handed, but I think it would be really cool to be ambidextrous.

Right, I'm glad too. It seems like everything caters to the right handed folk.

I will automatically choose the left-handed version; in fact I just couldn't imagine to do it the other way round. I will also throw darts at a board with my left hand. But I will write with my right hand and prefer to do most other things with my right hand too, also and especially throwing a ball. So I throw darts with my left hand and balls with my right. Quite unusual.

It is unusual, but not ambidextruous.
Ambidextruous means being able to do the same operations at the same level with both hands.
I met someone like that once in my army service. He showed it to us. He wrote a paragraph with his right hand and then the same thing with the left and the writing was quite similar (small minor changes). He also used to open bottle and cans with both hands. He said he had no particular preference. And so forth. |
I know; I was totally ambidexterous as a kid, but, as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, I was forced to use the right hand. I can throw a dart with the right hand too, with quite an equal result; it just doesn't feel natural to me. But throwing a ball seems to be natural with my right hand, although I can also do that with my left hand, and with good results too. My ambidexterousness is buried in my childhood somewhere, because I was told to use the "good" hand and not the "bad" hand ("bad" in the sense of "evil; "böse" is German for "evil", and I was tought not to use the "böse Hand").

I see,
I stand corrected, sorry.
