JustSomeAce Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm right handed, like probably most of the people. Though I have some antics of using things with the "wrong" hand, for example fork and knife when dining: My family are all right handed and they use the knife with their right hand and the fork with their left and for me it's just the other way around. They've wondered about me doing that quite a lot and tell me that it wouldn't work for them to use the cutlery like that. Link to post Share on other sites

However, I also use left hand while playing badminton and use mobile phone and sometimes eat chips. About 90% of the world is right handed. Link to post Share on other sites

Pandark Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-dominance Often when people say ambidexterity they are referring to cross-dominance. Ambidexterity is usually the result of forced right handedness. Innate ambidexterity is considered a detrimental trait, because it inhibits specialization. Link to post Share on other sites
Alejandrogynous Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Left-handed with the normal amount of cross-dominance one develops from living in a right-handed world. Link to post Share on other sites
Missing Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I’m left handed. I was forced to learn to use a pen with my right hand, but when I’m learning something new, my natural inclination is to use my left. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Very left handed. A two-year-old could probably handle a writing/drawing instrument better than I could with my right hand. @Mackenzie Holiday I'm surprised that this was done in such recent times. One person noticed even before my mom that my natural inclination is to use my left hand and tried to get her to "convert" me, but fortunately she flat refused. Link to post Share on other sites

Janus the Fox Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Not sure which hand is strongest, if there's any dominance at all, Ambidextrous or Ambisinistrous. I can do things like write with the right, but do most other things with the left. There's a Movement disorder that weakens grip in both hands with a habit of dropping things for no reason.

If I am correct, then I am from where you are too. I have been told not to do things with left hand but I still do it even though I am not lefthanded, just as a rebel and to annoy people.

I find it stupid that people force others to do things the ' right' way. I mean how would they feel if they were forced to use left? On that note, I am curious. Does your left handwriting differ from your right? Which one is better, in your terms? I can write in a very poor left hand but i find that both the hands have similar looking handwriting.

I’ve spent years practicing my handwriting and drawing with my right hand, and not much with my left, so my handwriting with my right hand looks a lot better than my left. I actually tend to get a lot of compliments on my handwriting. I’ve tried to practice my handwriting with my left hand and I think I made a lot of progress pretty quickly, but I didn’t really think it was worth the time investment so I stopped.

My handwriting is below average even with my right hand so I should not say anything about my left. However, a few times I have found that given a good position and angle my left one is pretty okay. But my handwriting changes so very often that I don't stick to anything. Link to post Share on other sites

I perform all manual tasks with my right hand, but I've an element of cross- laterality in so far as I hold a lens or a telescope to my left eye, and I kick a ball with my left foot. So I'm not entirely right-side dominant. I'm not entirely sure what the significance is, if any. Cross- laterality used to be one of the indicators for Specific Learning Difficulities ( eg dyslexia) but only together with other indicators. I don't know if it still is: I'm out of touch with current practice. Link to post Share on other sites

Larkaloke Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Strongly left-handed (and generally left dominant). Even though I grew up using right-handed scissors, I cut just about as well with either hand at this point, and if something is at all possible to do with my left hand I do it.

morshmallow Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm pretty sure that I'm really ambidextrous, but I was taught how to write by a left-handed teacher, so I put left. I throw balls and everything physical with my right hand, though, and I have no issues using right handed tools like mice and scissors. Also, the story is that I wasn't writing or drawing to the same level as my classmates, because I kept switching hands, so the teacher made me focus on one (and mimicking her exactly was the easiest way for a kid who wasn't inclined one way or the other).
