Look ma! Both hands!

[Synerjee]

Are you ambidextrous? Can you do things you normally do with your main hand with your alternate hand? For example, you're a right-handed person and usually brush your teeth with your right hand. Can you do it with your left hand? The same thing goes for left-handed people.

What things can you do with your alternate hand? How well can you do those things? Are you naturally ambidextrous? Do you think it is a useful skill to have? Add in anything relevant!

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Not in the slightest! I can only do things well with my right hand and if I even attempt to do things with my left, it becomes a disaster. I one tried learning to write with my opposite hand and I couldn't even make my name readable.

 

[TY]

Writing: No, not at all... Its rubbish with right, and even worse with left.
But with other things im using or left or right, depends on which hand i stretch out for it xP

 

[Nolafus]

I'm right handed, and only right handed. I can't write, move the mouse, or throw a frisbee left handed. I remember, for a fun assignment at school this last year, the teacher had us write something using our other hand. Mine got voted as the worst handwriting. XD

 

[Blade_of_darkness]

Ehhh... no. Right hand is largely dominant, thus it's very unlikely that I'll be able to do anything with my left hand that I would otherwise would have done with my right hand.

 

[Aeroblast]

I'm more right handed but I can still use my left.

 

[Flushed]

I'd say it's about 60R/40L. I do most things right, but I can do a majority of those things left-handed as well. There are a few things I do exclusively left, i.e. brush teeth, floss, talk on the phone, but for the most part, I'm pretty ambidextrous.

 

[Sydian]

I'm not ambidextrous. Apparently that's not good for you neurologically though, because you need to have some stable identity and a dominant side of your body. Interesting!

I myself am right handed, but I'd say I have pretty good use of my left hand as well. There are certain things I do with one hand that I won't or can't do with the other. Can't think of any examples though. However, what both hands have in common is that 1. I have to have them preoccupied with something, or I get really nervous and 2. one of my biggest pet peeves is when my hands/fingers are dirty, even if it's only slightly.

 

[Crux]

I am indeed ambidextrous! And yes, I am indeed naturally ambidextrous!
Did you know that ambidexterity means you use both sides of your brain, much, much more?

 

[New Eden]

Nope. Completely left-handed with the sole exception being computer mice. I can use it on the left and it feels way more natural, but I've been forced to use right handed setups for so long that I can't use it for more than casual browsing.

 

[Nick]

I write, eat, and brush my teeth with my left hand.
Literally everything else I can think of, I do with my right.

I don't know if that makes me ambidextrous or not, because I always thought that that only applied to writing, but I'm going to say yes just to make me feel more unique.

 

[Mysonne]

my right hand is my dominant hand but i feel more comfortable using a knife / scissors with my left hand

 

[Crunch Punch]

I cannot do anything with my left hand haha. I depend on my right hand too much.

 

[Sandshrew4]

When it comes two writing, I can right with my right hand, but it's not great.
In baseball, I've batted right and thrown right all my life, but I tried batting left and I did pretty well.

 

[Honest]

Oh god no. My left arm feels like jelly whenever I try to use it for almost anything that requires precision. I tried writing my notes with my left hand for a day once, had to stop after my first class because I literally could not read what I had written. I had to rewrite the notes, too, so doubly bad. :C

 

[Orifiel]

If you say it that way, It's really weird.
I'm a left-handed person, and when I brush my teeth, I use my right.
When I write something on a chalk board, I use my right, when I
try to punch, my left feels weak and my right feels more stronger.
I can write with both hands, my right is a little rocky road(ed) but my left
is like the sign of the great empire of sulu. I think I'm really a right-handed.
Well, I think I should be a right-handed and not left. I might learned writing wrongly.

 

[Sableye~]

I'm right-handed, and use it for almost everything. However, I am capable of drawing with my left hand. When I try to, it turns out more sketchy, but (I think) turns out generally better than when I use my right hand. Writing is another story, though.

 

[Kotone]

no i cannot. i can only use my right hand >.< i use my left hand to paint my right hand's nails though! xD

 

[Tsutarja]

I came here to say that I am not ambidextrous at all.. I am fully left handed when it comes to common everyday tasks such as writing and eating.. I will however say though that I use a mouse right handed because that was how my parents taught me (since they're right handed) and I complete actions on my tablet with my right hand as well.

 

[Hiatus]

I can do things with both of my hands fairly well, but I always tend to use my right hand, though. The only time I use my left hand is when I apply soap to my body while taking a shower, when I put lenses to my eyes before going outside, and when I cut things with a knife while cooking. I have the ability to write, eat, and do almost anything else that I'm able to with my right hand, but I do it only when my right hand is occupied with something else.
