This is weird.. I eat and write w/my left hand, but that's about the only thing. I throw, kick (I used to take martial arts), snowboard, etc.. better with my right. I also play guitar & drums right handed. I guess I'm artistic, which a lot of lefties are. In guitar, I acelled faster than most people I know, and I got the technique down, but one thing that I can't improve on is speed. I guess I'm moderately fast, but I've reached a plateau that I haven't been able to get out of for years. So am I a right or lefty?? :confused:

I write with my left hand - so I call myself left handed

However, I do pretty much everything else with my right hand.

:confused:

I think so many things are designed for righties that left handed people have to adapt and they learn to do more with their right hand, where right handed people never have to use their left hand.

I'm left handed.

I write with my left hand.

I eat with my left hand.

I use the mouse in my right hand (never seen a mouse shaped for the left hand).

When I played piano, my right hand was always more 'comfortable' on the keys it seemed.

I'm right footed when I play soccer. Hit and throw left handed when I play baseball.

My right eye is dominant and I shoot a rifle/shotgun like a rightie would.

I guess I'm confused.

Well I guess I am ambidextrous, but not really, because in everything that I do, I can only do with either the right or left, but not both..

I

write left-handed
eat left-handed
throw and bat left-handed
kick left-footed

use the mouse with both hands, mostly my right though. If I use my left, I change the way I sit to leave the mouse in the right-handed spot.


My right eye is dominant however.

Playing pool, I play right-handed. If I pick up a guitar, I would play right-handed.
I shoot pistols left-handed, I think :confused: I pull the trigger with my left, but close my left eye to aim with my right.

If I shoot a rifle, I pull the trigger with my right hand, b/c I use my right eye to aim. So I think that would be right handed, duh :eek:.

Perry, you and I seem pretty similar, except for the kicking thing.

Pretty random. I do consider myself left-handed b/c it is my dominant hand for alot of things. Gosh, posting on the forums sure beats trying to finish the project I have to complete by 3 p.m. tomorrow in addition to studying for a test at that time. :(


late.

i know i'm right handed. but over they years i've trained my left hand. I can dribble left handed, lay up lefthanded, cross over left handed. And i can eat left handed, catch and throw left handed. Its just training i guess.

Dunno about this, but the following questions answered honestly will check your sanity. Answer them, and there will be an answer as to whether you are sane, or insane.


1. Do you put your shoes on first, or your socks on first?

2. Do you brush your teeth with right, or left hand?

3. When you walk up to a water faucet, do you turn it on with left or right hand?

4. Do you put shirt on first, or pants on first?

5. When you shower, do you shower with underwear on, or underwear off?

Well? ;)
