Poll question: Lefty? Righty? Both? |
|
I am right-handed for most things. But when I use a knife and fork to eat, I eat with my left hand. (Because hey, switching the fork to the other hand delays my food gratification!)

7. left-handed - like a lot of my colleagues |
|
but we seem to have a strong correlation with mental illness, creativity, spatial thinking and...probability to be a murderer.

19. AFAIK there's no proved genetic correlation. |
|
There's no lefties in either my or my wife's family as far as we know, and our daughter is a leftie.

14. Primarily right handed |
|
But I do switch hit a bit on some things. So not quite ambidexterous but close.

I can't use a mouse efficiently except with my left hand. And I don't swap buttons - I use the middle finger for left-click and the index finger for right-click and wheel.
Edit: You eat the correct way, like most etiquette-conscious moms teach us to.

20. Definitely ambidextrous |
|
I can write with both hands, use a mouse with both hands, bowl with both, throw with both, and pretty much almost anything I do I can do with both.
My left is dominant, though--I write best with it. But I have as much control over the right as with the left.
I think, though, that those of us who are marginally more left handed have to become right-handed to a degree anyhow, because so many things are made or built primarily for right-handed people. So we have that advantage over right handed people, that our minds can expand to meet the needs of both hands, and live without having to appear awkward in the process.

I remember hearing stories from left-handed people who attended Catholic school in the 50's/60's and a nun would smack them on the hand with a ruler if they wrote with their left hand.
