      Talking Lefty or Righty?

      Ok, so there are five options on the poll. Left-handed, right-handed, mixed-handed, ambidextrous, none, and other. This does not apply to using a hockey stick, a baseball bat, or a golf club as many right handed people play those sports left, and vice versa. It only relies applies to one handed basic tasks, such as throwing, writing, one handed eating (finger food or holding a fork), using scissors, playing tennis, etc.

      Left and Right handed are pretty self explanatory. Mixed handed means you use your left for some things and your right for some things. Ambidextrous means you're equal with both hands (they are both dominant). None means that tasks feel awkward with both hands (in which case I feel sorry for you). Other means something completely weird I didn't think of, or a mix of the options.

      My, personally, am a mix between mixed handed and ambidextrous. Some things I do with my left, some with my right, and some with both equally. I throw, hold finger food, open jars, pull carts, play pool, and hold cups with my left hand. I write, use scissors, and do some other basic tasks with my right hand. I am ambidextrous in fencing, tennis, and using a computer mouse:p. Although I do prefer to throw the ball upwards with my left hand and swing with my right hand when serving in tennis.

      I'm curious to see what you guys are. I'm asked these questions on other forums and got some pretty weird answers. Let's see if I get some here!

      LEFT HANDED!!!!!

      But I do control my mouse with my right hand... If I do that with my left hand, it feels awkward...

      Ambidextrous. Pretty much every sport except Softball/Golf I'm left-handed (I suppose it has something to do with holding a stick), I can write with both hands, and I eat with my right.

      I was left handed. My parents thought it was weird so they spent a lot of energy getting me to write with my right. So now I'm a right-ie but I kick with my left foot.

      I would say my right hand is dominate but there is a little mixing there with me using my left for a few things. It may be that I am just lazy however and often use whatever hand is easier to use heh. Such as whichever one is closer to the object I am using heh.

      I have no problem doing basic or simple things left handed. Eating and stuff I often do left handed. I throw right handed when I want power or control but I often toss stuff left handed a lot. So for sports and stuff I always go right handed for that little extra control.

      I am right-handed for almost everything. No, make that everything. Somethings I can do with both hands, however.

      Unfortunately, I'm right handed. Though, I do some with my left hand. I use scissors with my left, I hit a volleyball with my left and I throw a frisby better with my left.

      Why is it unfortunate that you're right handed?

      Why would you want to be lefty? In my opinion throwing left is better than throwing right but righting with only your left hand would be a pain. If you're using a binder, and you're right handed, when you're writing on the back of your page the stupid rings always get in your way when you're reaching the side of the page. Now, imagine this happening when you're writing on the front of the page if you were to write left... It would be a pain.

      Of course, you'll be writing with both hands eventually so it will just be a matter of switching

      I really recommend learning to do stuff with both hands. I'm naturally a righty in karate fighting, but I self-taught myself how to fight Southpaw, so now I can constantly switch during fights, confusing the hell out of my opponent. It's really fun

      I do everything the way a right-handed person would: except write. I write with my left hand.

      Left handed human.
      You know, I heard that if your left handed then the left side of your brain is dominant, and I've also heard that the left side of your brain mostly controls your imagination/creativity/free thinkin, while the right side of your brain mostly controls your logical, mathmatical, scientific thoughts.

      Totally works with me since I LOVE Writing and Drama, while I phail at anything mathmatical or scientifical...

      The downside...is that my handwriting is AWFUL and I can't draw worth crap.

      Oh and I use my right hand for the computer also. Using the mouse with your left hand is just plain WEIRD!

      Lefty here.

      I used to be ambidextrous, but after having my right arm in a cast for a year, my right hand has become rather useless. I can't even use the mouse with my right hand. When I was in the 5th grade I had extensive surgery on my right arm and was forced to wear 2 casts for 6 months at a time. At least the second one didn't go up to my shoulder, just my elbow.
