Which are you?

So which are you classed as? I'm almost completely left-handed. Curiously my right hand is much stronger at controlling the mouse of a computer. There are a couple of other things for which I use my right hand but I don't think they are numerous enough to classify me as being mixed-handed.

Rather rough definitions taken from wiki for reference:


Quote:










1. Right-handedness is the most common. Right-handed people are more dextrous with their right hands when doing any task.



2. Left-handedness is less common than right handedness. Left-handed people are more dextrous with their left hands when doing any task.



3. Mixed-handedness also known as cross-dominance, is being able to do different tasks better with different hands. For example, a mixed handed person might write with their right hand but throw a ball with their left hand.



4. Ambidexterity is extremely rare. An ambidextrous person is able to do any task equally well with either hand.



5. Ambilevous people demonstrate awkwardness with both hands and are said to be ambilevous or ambisinister.|||Mixed handed:

Write with right hand.

Eat with left hand.

Throw ball with right hand.

Type with left hand predominantly.

Play Badminton with either hand.

List goes on.|||Im not ambidextrous by any stretch but I do tend to interchange hands a lot, but Im def right handed at most things! I hold my fork in my left hand when cutting (with a knife) then swap it to my right to shovel the food into my mouth. V weird!|||Ambidexterious. I usually write with my left hand, because my grammar school teachers would try to force me to write only with my right hand. Oh, what a little defiant turd I was. I sometimes write right handed because of the placement of binder rings or Theater seat tables. Conformist bastards.

One of my faviorite tricks is to write with both hands, one hand in cursive, the other on common on two papers at the same time.|||I'm a boring old right hander....at least I'll live longer than lefties |||Quote:

THe whole reason righties supposivly live longer is because they do not live in a world where everything is built for left-handed people. This is especally true in factories or other places with heavy machinery. Nowadays companies have to blow a ****load of money for lefty heavy machinery so they cannot get sued.

Don't believe me? try shooting a lefty bolt-action rifle. You will love the burning, hot shell that jumps in your face.|||Quote:

My father was left-handed when he was young. His teachers and parents used to hit his left hand with a ruler if they caught him writing with his left hand. Something to do with the devil being in the left hand. He was forced to use his right hand and has done so ever since out of habit, consequently his writing is extremely messy whichever hand he uses.

Needless to say we are not in contact with his parents.|||Well, I did not get hit, but it was bad enough my parents went to the Board of Education because I was not the only one. I read that it was frowned apon because it was unnatural. The Romans started the "wrong side of bed" thingy, and then you have the "its different from us so its wrong" mentality. Its human nature.|||Mixed-Handed.

Write with right,

type with right,

throw a ball with left,

eat with left,



etc...|||Right-handed. Boring, I know.
