Ditto. I'm also left-eye dominant, which puts me in the minority as opposed to right-eye dominant (2/3s of the population)

To determine Ocular dominance, point at a distance object (say a lamp post on the street) with your arm stretched right out, and then close your left eye. If you are no longer pointing at the object, you are left-eye dominant, if you are still pointing at the object, you are right-eye dominant.

My brother used to write his name And with one hand and rew with the other. I can't do that though.

Nope.
I use my right hand most of the time.

I don't think I ever do much with my left hand at all.
Except for when it teams up with my right hand for faster typing. :P

Yeah, kind of. I can use a mouse and throw a ball with my right hand but write with my left. Freakazoid plz.

Yeah same, except for when I'm using both a knife and a fork, I hold the fork in my left hand (but like touch-typing or other activities requring both hands, it probably doesn't count ;) )
Cool stuff about eye dominance Paul- as I would have guessed I'm right eye dominant.

I am definitely right-handed, but have always preferred my left foot for other things.
That makes sense to me, though, 'cause when you walk and let your hands swing, when you put your left foot forward, your right arm naturally swings to counterbalance. Thus...in that sense, I'm leading with my right hand. Or something like that :roll:
And hm. I'm right-eye dominant, too.

i can just write something legible with my left hand and i am left footed oddly enough......but i can also do things with my left hand such as sports and such

I use both hands/feet for sports, and other stuff. But I am slightly better with my right hand than my left.

Haha, no. I'm a leftie, and have tried with my right hand but I still write like crap. I do kinda wish I was ambidextrous, but I haven't broken my left hand/arm/whatever so I haven't had to use my right hand.

I'm right-hand dominant...but I trained myself to use chopsticks with my left hand so I can write/do other things with my right hand while eating.

Pfft, no way. My right hand is dominant.. and controlling.

My right hand is everything :(

My old RE teacher used to have this clock for the left-handed in his room...it was all backwards and so weird! Confused the heck out of everybody :P
