Left-handed. Although my right-hand is suited better for some things.

I was born left-handed (after my father), but my mother forced me to learn it with my right hand. So now, I´m right handed.

I'm a leftie, but I've learnt to use my right hand as well (for example to use scissors, etc).

So I guess I qualify as ambidextrous. (Or rather ambisinister?? :lol: )

I think this is about the ratio you get with blind people and some others who don't get the opportunity to learn handedness by observing.

I think a good number of NTs are naturally lefties but get suckered into being righties when they try to imitate others. We're above that.

I'm a proud lefty, because I'm awful with my right.

Right handed/footed. Although in judo and kickboxing, its been pointed out by my instructors that I'm far more comfortable fighting/sparring left handed . Yet I can't write with my left hand or kick a football etc!

<<< Right-Handed

Some interesting facts regarding handedness:

Mixed-Handedness is the change of hand preference between different tasks. This is common in the population with about a 30% prevalence.[1]
Ambidexterity is exceptionally rare, although it can be learned. A truly ambidextrous person is able to do any task equally well with either hand. Those who learn it still tend to favor their originally dominant hand.[2]
Globally, roughly 12% of men and 10% of women are left-handed.[3]
Right-handedness is most common. Right-handed people are more dexterous with their right hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that 70–90% of the world population is right-handed.[4][5]
Left-handedness is less common than right-handedness. Left-handed people are more dexterous with their left hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that approximately 10% of the world population is left-handed.[6]
