    99% left-handed. If given the choice, i'll use my left hand for everything.
    The only things I do right-handed are holding knife and fork the way a rightie would, and using scissors.

    In sports, it's even an advantage. A left-handed grip in judo usually confuses my opponents for those vital first few milliseconds it takes to set up a throw. Not that I win a lot, but at least I don't lose as badly :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    right-handed, both-footed, left-"eyed"

    I work best with my right hand, although I got some skills with my left hand due to lab-work in chemistry. Unskillful handling will be punished by default, not by boss.
    I'm born half blind on my right eye, only see about 50% there. I can do reading for about 20 minutes with only my right eye, but it's pretty fatiguing. I got a left eye with almost 150% sight :slight_smile:
    I'm trained to use my legs and foots likewise to jump, start, stop or kick. Fightsports is really instructive.

    I'm a righty through and through. My left hand is inferior in most cases, and roughly equal in others.

    Left handed when writing, holding a spoon or chopsticks. Right handed for scissors, mouse, knife, throwing, playing with self :badgrin: My right arm is also stronger than my left. I'm weird.

    I'm very left-handed :slight_smile: The only exception is using knives and scissors with my right. And for some stupid reason, tossing a frisbee...

    Extremely right-handed, extremely right-footed, and an extremely dominant left-eye.

    My left hand is hopeless at anything, which makes some piano pieces really hard to learn. I type very quickly but not properly, generally only using 1 or 2 fingers on my left hand. Can't even connect with a ball with my left foot, can kick 60 yards on the fly reliably with the right foot. Left eye dominates very strongly, i actually close my right eye to play snooker, which is very unusual and probably quite disadvantageous.

    The only thing i can do left handed is play snooker, almost as well as with my right.

    I'm right handed until I get into a fight. Then, I'm ambidextrous, but I prefer to fight left handed. I don't know why. But it always helps.

    Left handed, but my trade dictates both hands get used frequently. :wink: But, I play, shoot, write, throw and other with the left mainly.

    the only thing I can't do with my right hand is writing. everything else I have more trouble using my left hand and I even reflexively use my right.

    I'm ambidextrous. I mainly use my right hand for writing, and almost everything else I do with my left hand. I can do almost any activity with either hand though, except I always hold a knife in my left hand.

    I am left handed for writing, tennis and using scissors, right handed for eating, pretty ambidextrous for everything else.

    I'm right-handed, but I'm teaching myself to use my left hand more often, so I put "Favor right but can almost do them both equally."

    One of these days I'll be ambidextrous :3
