Your hand preference?

A right-handed person will pick up the bow with the left hand, place an arrow in the string with the left and then shoot. It is the other way round with a left-handed person. 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").

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

I'm right-handed

left handed, but usually I open the bottles with the right hand.

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?
