Left or Right Handed?

[TheSellOut]

What is your dexterity? Left, Right, or truely ambidextrous?

Right
and when I was in sign school we had one lefty and as I understood lefties had a hard time learning how to hand paint because if they worked left to right they would be working "over" the wet letters they had just done

This is true, I have to be carefull when drwing with a pencil as well for I will end up smearing graphite all over my drawing too!

I can't say this is all lefties, but in my case, everything I do in this righthanded world is backwards. Example, the old righty tighty / lefty loosey bit, I naturally always go the opposite direction to start!

My walldog friend Bill has trained himself to paint with either hand in case something ever happens to him.

I was born left handed but Miss James, in the first grade, made me hold my pencil in my right hand. I ended up with my fine motor skills being right handed and my gross motor skills being left handed. Somewhere in the middle, a level of ambidexterity exists whereby I can drive a nail with a hammer held in either hand.

Somewhere in the middle, a level of ambidexterity exists whereby I can drive a nail with a hammer held in either hand.

with a couple of changes, this is me too. I was leaning towards being left but did a lot with the right so they made me use my right hand in school too. there are things that I can do with one hand but can't with the other like snap my fingers. I can do it with the left but hardly able with the right. I took tennis lessons way back in my 20's and found out that I could do a fore hand with one hand and a back hand with the other but not both with either. so not sure if I'm ambidextrous as it more like one works when the other doesn't most of the time. I can paint or apply vinyl vinyl with either.

Righty here.

Here is a fact I find interesting. Cultures that read right to left instead of left to right have more right handed people.

I guess I'm somewhat like Fred too. Things requiring dexterity in my hand
and fingers I do with ther right. Other things, mostly sports are left. I kick
with the left foot. Throw with left hand. Funny that I draw with the right
but using an airbrush is more comfortable in the left. I have taught myself
to letter with either, Mostly right, but wall jobs off of a ladder, using the
left comes in real handy.

Ambidextrous...I'd love to see a psychological profile off our breed.

off our breed.

Huh ?

Ambidextrous...I'd love to see a psychological profile off our breed.

me too

I call myself ambidextrous but I'm really just a confused southpaw. The worst grade I got in college was trying to do calligraphy. The proffessor wouldn't accept the pen being held at the wrong 45 degree angle.

For you lefties (like me) there is a great book I read called "Left Handed History of the World" by Ed Wright (I find his name sort of ironic!) that I would highly recommend.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Left-Handed-History-World-Ed-Wright/dp/1740458109
It's an easy one to read and it talks about the fact that aprox. 10% of the world is left handed but how a disproportionate number of important people throughout history were lefties.

I want a t-shirt that says: "I'm not only left handed, I'm always right!"

Lefty over here...

Thanks,

[GregT]

Lefty here, too.

 

[Sabre]

I probably should have been left handed, I'm left-eye dominant which is an issue sometimes when I'm shooting. But alas, I correct myself for right handed.

Right handed. Can't write my own name legibly left handed, but can effortlessly write backwards (mirror image) with my right hand. A teacher/nun once told me "there something wrong with you" when she caught me writing a quick note to a classmate. My friend would take the notes to the bathroom and hold them up to the mirror to read them. The devil made me do it.
