    Ambidextrous for me, it really depends on what I'm doing which hand is more comfortable to use.

    I'm like 95% righty. My left hand isn't completely useless mostly because I had to use it in my art class this past year. Apart from that, I write right, shoot right, swing right, etc. The only time I use my left hand is when my right hand is busy doing something else.

    Like 85-90% of the world, "strongly right handed". My family is oddly split right down the middle. My sister and I are both right handed, my mother and brother are both left-handed. My father is "mixed handed" - not ambidextrous (which would mean he can use both hands equally well). He does most things with his right, but he writes with his left. However, he writes on blackboards and dry-erase boards with his right! This is a holdover from his early school days, when you weren't supposed to use your left hand to writing. He could sneak-write with his left hand at the desk, but at the blackboard, with the whole class watching, he had to use his right.

    totally depends on what I am doing.
    I write with my right.
    Play guitar lefty.
    When eating the fork is in my right hand, unless I have a knife, and then the fork goes to the left hand and stays there. Most Americans (i think) put the fork in their left hand while cutting, but switch it back to their right hand when they go to take a piece.

    Lefty, I was forced to write with my right hand when I was little but I was (and still am) stubborn so I wrote with my left hand even though I got shouted at. tehehe.

    Totally lefty :grin:, except for two things--doing any kind of cutting (knives, scissors, shaving) and throwing a frisbee.

    One eighth of respondents are "ambidextrous?" I have a feeling that some of these respondents are a little too forgiving to illegible scratches on paper.

    My thoughts exactly. I had a deep and sudden feeling that I was some sort of unnatural being who only used his right hand. XD

    Right-handed but people don't usually guess it because I wear my watch on my right wrist. Rebel!!

    I do almost everything with my left… the only exception is writing, where I use my right.

    Predominantly right - but there are a couple of things I do 'the other way round' (and it took me years to realise it) and a whole bunch of others where I can use both.

    So many lefties posting here. So I'll put my (right) hand up for Right-handedness :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    My left hand is pretty useless.
