Are you ambidextrous?

Are you ambidextrous?

Personally I far from ambidextrous (not just in the context of writing though :roll: ), though I wish I was :) I do almost everything with my right arm/hand/foot.

When I first clicked on this thread, I was all set to write "I wish I was", but then I saw that you said it. *grumble*

...

Well, I wish I was. :oops:

Not technically, I have a right handed tendancey.

I was born left handed and forced into writing Right handed by my school.

I vacuum left-handed... that's about it, though!

I went through a phase of trying to learn to do things left-handed in high school... and that was the only thing that stuck. Hehehe. It kinda gives a good indication of what time in my life I first started vacuuming.

I am right hand dominant but can use both hands to write or play sports.

I guess I luck out if I ever break my right hand.

Kinda. I'm right handed, but I fell on my wrist skating last winter and had to do everything with my left hand for a few weeks, so I can write legibly with it, if not very quickly. I want to become really ambidextrous(hmm... I should work on that), but for now at least I wouldn't be completely hopeless if I couldn't use my right hand. Just severely inconvenienced. :P

About the only thing I can do with just my left hand is type, and even that's not great.

I don't have a left hand, so...I'm going to say no. :P My left foot is pretty skillful though. I can easily pick things up, and often use it to help me where someone else might use a left hand. Making the bed or folding sheets/blankets comes to mind.

The only things I ever do with my left hand are using a fork (but not a spoon) and every now and then I bat left-handed. Other than that, it's all right.

lol, I do everything left and right handed but hold a guitar (right handed), write (right handed), bat (left handed). :P

I always got teased because I always batted left handed and when people asked me if I WAS left handed I told them, no... since I've always considered myself right-handed because I write that way. Then again, I can NOT bad right-handed... at all. But they mostly teased me because I sucked at baseball. :P

Why would being right handed mean you were right footed as well? I'm right handed and left footed.

I'm a lefty when it comes to to writing. But I think all besides that I prefer with my right hand.
I never seen a mouse for leftys.
