I'm Left-Handed. I think that Little London would be a cute Nickname for me, because I'm Left-Handed and I'm also obsessed with Classic London.

Pretty much right-handed but I'm typing with both hands.
Ocassionally, left hand likes to do something and does just about as well on the job as the right hand.
Very rarely, the left hand does a better job of something than the right hand.
I'm righthanded though - I write with my right hand, I do stuff with my right hand.
My friend that I went to middle school with was left-handed - we always sat next to each other.. Over the years, I've picked up a few lefties as friends.

technically right-handed, however I frequently carry out tasks using my left hand.

I am left handed and I have two sons who are both lefties.

I use my left hand for writing and most other things.

I play cricket right handed, and use a mouse with my right hand. oh and I also play bass guitar right handed. I decided to do it this way because my left hand is the stronger and figured I would be useless doing it the other way round.

Works for me!!

Left. Which is really freaky, because I'm right leg and eye.

I was wondering, do any other lefties like it when their handedness screws up a lesson or class?

Mixed, is the term, I believe - pretty much ambidextrous but my brain has assigned tasks to each hand. I'm capable of doing most things equally well with both, but they feel right in one hand and wrong in the other. I guess I'd have to say right dominant though becauseI write with that hand, and actually that's one of the few things at which I'm not eqaully competent with both. Right eye dominant but only because that's the least myopic eye - before I changed my glasses, my left needed a lens -0.25 stronger than it was, but my right needed a -0.50. Whilst wearing those glasses I was left-eye dominant, therefore I assume my brain just takes whichever's clearest - and right now, that's my right eye because my left needs a lens a little stronger, but not strong enough to warrant an extra -0.25. If that makes any sense.

My left arm has more muscle than my right though - I carry th heaviest things in my left, an I've plyed the violin for almost 10 years now anyway :)

I can write forwards with my right habnd, backwards (and reasonablyt neatly!) with my left. I can also write forwards with my left hand (and it's neater than with my right!) but is o SLOW.

Fine motor I'm better art with right, gross motor or strength my left is better (which is weird because my left side is the one that I have fits on.)

When I was at school, I'd strart writing with one hanbd and switch to the other when I was tierd. I got the pen put in my right hand and told "Use one oir the other but not both."

Stupid school....

I am ambidextrous, but only in that my writing is terrible with either hand.

I'm predominantly right-handed, but for the past ten years have been mousing with my left due to chronic tendinitis on the right. I had already developed some ambidexterity from early (pre-Windows) AutoCAD, which required using one hand for the keyboard and the other hand for a digitizer tablet. So when I switched to the left it didn't take too much time to adjust, although I noticed that I seemed to more in touch with my creativity-- left-brain/right-brain rewiring? Has anyone else had similar experiences?


I am right handed. As for the rewiring, it may be possible, as the hand you use is related to how your brain wires itself. Whenever a brain-imaging study is done on people it is mandatory to state the handed-ness of the participants involved because a person who is left handed has a different brain-wiring schematic from one who is right-handed. Although I´m not sure if this touches on creativity or not, but that may be, otherwise there would be no need to state such differences in such studies if the schematic wiring of handed-ness did not affect other functions of the brain.

When I was younger, I was completely ambidextrous with no preference for left or right to write or draw. My school made me use only my right hand.
