| Galomorro | posted 11-Jul-2009 11:28am No. Right's dominant. |
| Enheduanna | posted 11-Jul-2009 11:50am No, I'm right-handed. |
| LJD | posted 11-Jul-2009 11:57am I had to learn to be ambidextrous, for a while after I had my stroke. Learning to brush your teeth, eat, take care of personal hygiene, comb my hair, dress myself...etc. It was very difficult. It was very scary not having the use of my dominant side. I couldn't type. I had to relearn everything. Constant rehab....having a stroke, to me, is a slow death, as it sucks the life energy out of you. After all is said and done, I've learned know your body, recognize signs of severe health imbalance. |
| LindaH | posted 11-Jul-2009 12:21pm I'm left handed (writing, eating, brushing my teeth) but I throw and do other stuff with my right hand. I'm considered left handed, but I automatically use my right hand a lot of the time, so... |
| gambler | posted 11-Jul-2009 2:30pm I would not call myself ambidextrous............... Predominantly r/handed... but for some reason when I 10 pin bowl its with the left hand? |
| labjog | posted 11-Jul-2009 5:51pm Yes, I had to be when I broke my right arm when I was young. I am right hand dominant though. |
| llamamama | posted 11-Jul-2009 8:35pm I'm barely a righty
My brother is a lefty (the only one on both sides of the family..well, that's living) but he's only a lefty when it comes to writing and stuff like that..probably eating too..Not sure..But he uses his right hand when he throws a ball..things like that. |
| meowry | posted 12-Jul-2009 2:05am My left hand is dominant, but I can use my right hand for most things. In fact, I use my right hand for most things. I'm more dexterous with my left hand. When it comes to writing, my right hand is weak at best. I can't use it at all, for drawing (although can, for painting). |
| Iseult | posted 12-Jul-2009 6:48am I'm cross dominant, but not close to ambidextrous. |
| Kristal_Rose | posted 12-Jul-2009 8:01pm Yay, credit to a former survey.
I'm like a lobster, left hand for intricate things, right hand for brutish things or sawing or scissors (in which the left hand usually still is the more intricate.) I play notes on the guitar with both hands though as if I were two players alternating at once, the right hand alternating between tapping higher notes and plucking lower notes. |
| ihatespiders | posted 12-Jul-2009 8:44pm I favor my right hand but I can use both hands, I dont wright with my left hand as well, my left hand I have a tendency to write backwards. I use to work at Sheaffer pen,and I use both hands on whatever job I was doing,because useing both hands was an advantage. |
| cloudhugger | posted 17-Jul-2009 10:08am No, I am not.
but when I was very young and I noticed that some people only had one arm. Or they hurt one hand. I wondered, in my small curious mind, what it would be like if I too had lost a limb. So in my never ending quest to always be prepared ( like the good girl scout wannbe I deeply was inside), I practiced and practiced to use my other hand taking turns on dominance. I didn't like the idea of having anything dominant in my body because if something goes amiss, than I would be a victum. I refuse to be a victom of anything, so I practiced. The training came in very handy (pun And then I saw on tv a woman who had no arms. She could do everything with her feet. So I practiced using my feet and toes on numerous tasks. That became quite tiresome, and I had stopped doing that when I realized that I can if I had to. Not very well, but I could if the world puts me in that position. True ambidextrious pople kinda freak me out anyway. |
| FordGuy | (reply to cloudhugger) posted 17-Jul-2009 4:43pm Your story made me think - when I am using tools, wrenchin' as it were, I use both hands equally. As you describe, sometimes you need to use the hand/arm that is capable of bending around the corners to get a grip. And I never think twice about which hand I am about to use, I just use it. That's funny. Great mind food there Cloudy. Thanks! |
| Biggles | posted 22-Jul-2009 7:24pm No, my right hand is definitely dominant. I'm not great with my left hand and don't use it for much apart from fastening my watch which I am strangely incapable of doing with my right hand. I am working on my dexterity with my left hand though as a lot of the medical skills I'm learning now require the use of both hands. |
| mandy | posted 1-Sep-2009 4:07am Good survey |
| docgbrown | posted 14-Sep-2009 5:18am I made myself Penwald ambidextrous when young |
