I voted ambidextrous. I was raised and forcibly corrected in school to use my right hand for writing but I do basically everything with my left hand. If someone were to throw a ball at me or something for example my first inclination would be to reach out with my left, that's my barometer I guess.

I have really nice penmanship...so I MUST be right handed!

But, I guess I can say I am ambidextrous too because I play the piano and can do opposite things with my hands at the same time.

I am right-handed. My wife and son are both lefties but my son only writes with his left hand. He throws a ball with his right hand.

I used to be able to do 10-key by touch with either hand but I've always been faster using my right hand.

I'm whacky. I used to write left handed in first grade. Then broke my left collar bone, and immediately after that broke my left wrist. I guess during that time I switched to doing a lot of activities with my right hand.

I now write and throw with my right hand, but I bat and golf left handed. Any time you take some kind "stance" I usually approach it like a left handed person would.

You just describe me. Same situation as you.

I am very right-handed. My left hand is clumsy.

However, I'm left-eye dominant, so I have to shoot left-handed. Loading my revolver left-handed is tough - can't do it quickly and I tend to drop the bullets. :oops:

Lefty, but I do the following right handed: Use scissors, bat, golf, shoot rifle and handgun, play guitar. I only do the latter right handed because when I first took guitar lessons my dad didn't want to buy an extra lefty guitar for me so I just used his and learned right handed, haha.

So far I'm the only person I know that is mainly right handed, but does most sports stuff left handed. Freak!

I am left handed, and voted that. But because so much in this world is right hand dominant I've become pretty proficient with my right hand doing most things. It still feels weird.
