left vs. right hand

[Pine_net]

A simple poll; left or right handed? Or are you both right and left?

[*stRgrL*]

Right

[Joeman]

I am both. I can write and throw with both hands equally bad. (I am a soccer player so I am not very good with hands)

But if you define handiness as the hand you use to beat yourself off, I am left. :D

[%BlueSoulRobot%]

I'm guessing both, because I can write with my left hand with the same speed as my right, but not as neatly. I can use chopsticks as a leftie, and play guitar really really slowly, or pitch baseballs with some degree of accuracy. :D

I can draw a circle with one hand, and a square with the other on a chalkboard. They say only ambidextrous people can do it. :)

[NenarTronian]

Totally RIGHT. My left hand is..actually quite useless. I'm not an invalid or anything. The left hand just sits while rightie works away. Leftie can type though. :D

Wasnt there some research into left vs brain people concerning their genetics or something? :confused:

[Halo]

I'm right handed and can write upside down :eek:

I'm right handed and can write upside down :eek: I can write upside down too. :p Upside down, backwards, and in French! :D

I voted right as it tends to be my favoured hand. But the thing is, I can barely write with either left or right hand. Totally dyslexic and that attention span problem and all. Can't write, can't do maths, slow reader. When I write, I have to print in big messy block letters. I can play pool with either hand, or cricket.

[yumyum]

right but some times i use the left to wright when im bored but you cant read it very well.

2 ambis?

i voted right cos im right handed
my aunt and my friend r ambis.

my aunt was born lef handed, but my grandparents tried 2 beat som sense into her, andmade her write with her right hand.
now she can do everything with both.

i wish i had those powers.
its weird having a hand that cant do as many things as the other.

[Adriatic]

I was born lefthanded, but they force me to write with the right hand (it was long ago) and now I'm kind of ambidexter. ;)

Hey Adriatic! First off, Welcome to SciForums. :) Secondly, what country do you live in, that they have to force you to use your right hand? Because I remember that in Hong Kong, if you were left-handed they forced you into using your right hand, because it was necessary to write the right strokes in the right order.

[Walker]

Right hand wins!

[Asguard]

i would give my right hand to be ambdextres:p

[%BlueSoulRobot%]

I see no lefties! I thought there'd be a whole tonne here. :bugeye:

[Gifted]

I'm a leftie, and lefties are the only people in their right minds.:D

I write with my lift hand, but shoot(both rifles and archery) right-handed. Strangly, My left eye is dominant.

[Pine_net]

Since this post has started I have been practicing routine hand movement with my left hand instead of my right. At first I just wanted to give up, but I kept at it and at the very least had a pencil and paper near my left hand to remind me to practice. Mostly I just doodled.

Now here comes the strange part, I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm rather shocked at how my doodles are turning out. Don’t get me wrong, they still seem to have a certain suckage quality about them, but I think they are a hell of a lot better than what my right hand can do. I'm going to scan what I've done and encourage others to try this for a few days and post what your experiences have been. It doesn't necessarily have to be a doodle; it could be anything you have tried with your left, or in gifteds’ case right, hand.

In the words of sponge bob square pants, IT'S OPOSITES DAY!

I'll post what I have in a bit...

I am left handed naturally and left footed.

[lixluke]

my heart goes out to all the ungrateful right handed children that r upset at their parents who never beat them into using their left hand.

Took a job application once where dexterity was a desired thing. The out come was that I was ambidexterious. Scoring precisely the same for both hands. While I write right-handed in a pinch I can do so with the left hand. Most other things, it matters not which hand does the job.
