1069 and a few others were discussing this on another thread. I'm curious if the percentages at DP mirror world percentages.

I am righthanded.
 
Righthanded here
 
Left.

I am one of the Favored Few, left handed. I can write with my right hand though, I taught myself in Junior high School, and had a stutter for several years after that.

I also write mirror style (left hand only,) to confuse spies and employers.

Where is the option for ambidexterity?

When I played football I was a left flank player, using my equally good left foot, but I am right handed.

I'm left-handed, but I box and shoot right-handed.
 
There are degrees of handedness, right or left.
I am profoundly left-handed; my dad put me in some research study at UT when I was a little kid, and that was the verdict, anyway.
One thing they did was, they'd stand behind me and slightly to the right, and call my name.
Instead of turning right to look at them, I'd turn to the left and all the way around.
I guess that's one of the ways they test kids to see which-handed they are, and how much.

My right hand is virtually useless for any sort of fine motor work, although I do use the mouse with it.
 
Ambidextrous in both hands and both feet, whatever that terms is...

I right right-handed most of the time... but I can play table tennis, tennis, golf and shoot and throw with either hand/arm.
I play soccer and kick with either foot, and I surf/snowboard either goofy or regular.

I prefer doing things with my right hand though, it feels more natural, but I can do both almost equally well. It can be fun too, sometimes I play somebody with my left hand, tennis for instance... and if they start beating me, I switch to my stronger side and try to win with my right. :2razz:
 
I'm right handed.

But I'm known, on occassion, to swap hands if I think I can gain a stroke. :mrgreen:

This is an interesting point. There are degrees of "handedness". As we can see by some our posters, though we all have a dominant hand, some are adept at using the non-dominant hand to different degrees of ability. Interesting.

I am very righthanded.
 
I write with my right hand, but I pick my nose with my left hand. :mrgreen:

My left hand is more elegant, I think. On the guitar, my left hand seemed to develop faster when it comes to motor skills. I had no trouble finding the frets, or learning my chords. But fingerpicking was sooooo much harder to do. In fact, I haven't even mastered it yet, I think don't think i ever will. I feel more comfortable with a pick in my right hand, than using my actual fingers.
 
I drive mostly with my left hand.
 
I'm right handed but can do several things lefty. I learned when I broke my arm when I was fifteen. In fact, ever since then I masterbate left handed.

Ambidextrous here too.. :)
 
I'm left-handed, but I've largely learned to be ambidextrous, I can do most things with either hand, although I do favor the left hand still.
 
left handed too (you could have guessed that by the higher quality of my posts)
 
I'm left handed when I eat and write, but any sports I play I do it righthanded. I remember hearing a story about how back in the day in schools anyone who would write lefthanded, they would tie the left hand behind their back until they learned to write with their right hand.


I do hate it when you are eating at a table and you sit next to a righty and you bump elbows all night.

Actually, its the other way around. :2razz:

I'm pretty much right handed/right eye dominant. Obviously activities that require two hands, I am adept with using both, but in a singular sense I write, throw, shake hands and open doors with my right hand. There is simply no other way.
 
I am right handed, but I do some things better or as good with my left. Occasionally I pick up the fork and eat left handed, not consciously though. I can't write worth a **** left handed, but I shoot a handgun with it. I can shoot a bow and arrow with either hand, but favor left-handed shooting. (both the gun and bow and arrow probably have to do with my left eye being dominant)
