since BOZACK brought his injury to our attention, I was wondering just how many right or left handers drive vibes. this should be dominant (writing) hand.

Well, you all know I'm left handed now.

the department i work in has 36 employees. 27 of us are left handed.

I steer with my left hand.

Yes! I am the only "female left handed" vote so far!C'mon, there's got to be more female lefties out there!

my wife is a lefty but she doesn't drive my vibe.

I'm left handed.

Lefties rock! We're gonna take over the world!

Check this out..."Statistics show left-handed people are more likely to be schizophrenic, alcoholic, delinquent, dyslexic, and have Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as mental disabilities. They're also more likely to die young and get into accidents. So if evolutionary theory dictates survival of the fittest, why do lefties still exist?"Read on to find out...http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/print?id=498707See... us lefties will win the battle! cuz we're "different".

At least we are in our right minds.

More like wrong handed.

I"m with you Jaycie--I'm a female leftie!! I have a quote here: "Everyone is born right-handed, but only the greatest overcome it." That was on a lefties calendar a few years ago and I loved it, so I taped it to my desk!

If you use your opposite hand, it feels like someone elses...

I'm taking a college course right now on Abnormal Psychology. There's only six students in this class... five of us our left-handed! Go figure!

I write with my right but can eat and do other stuff with my left.

Tests conducted by Alan Searleman from St Lawrence University in New York found there were more left-handed people with IQs over 140 than right-handed people. Famous left-handed thinkers in history from Albert Einstein to Isaac Newton to Benjamin Franklin seem to underline the point.

I'm about the opposite of Mavrik; about the only thing I do left-handed is write. And throw.

what about those who are ambidextris (sp)???myself: I'm a bit odd and dont deny it. basically right handed butshot-pool left handeddriving either hand or both at same time i kick with my left foot.i'll typically eat the european way (not switch untincils) knife in right hand fork in left hand.i "ten-key" better with my left hand than my right

Quote, originally posted by zionzr2 »i'll typically eat the european way (not switch untincils) knife in right hand fork in left hand.wow, i thought that was normal! i always eat like that, it's much easier.any of you lefties bat right? for some reason a lot do.

Quote, originally posted by ZubenElGenubi »Care to elaborate? well not sure all you want to know... but... I'm right handed but my left hand and arm are stronger. when I took karate, I found I was better with my left for some reason. and no not from what you might think... cause when working out in the gym, my right arm could lift more weights... I can also eat with my left hand as easy as my right hand. And I can use a mouse with my left hand if its on that side when using a computer.

Quote, originally posted by desert_dweller »I am right handed, now explain this.....I shoot sporting clays, golf, and throw a ball right handed, however when i played baseball in High School, I swicth hit, but always had a better average batting left. Maybe it is because I had to concentrate more?i dunno, for some reason, a lot of people apparently do better batting the "wrong" way. my uncle is completely right handed at everything, but bats and shoots pool lefty!

I am a mirror image twin. My brother is right handed. I can be ambidextrous in many things and single handed in others. Somethings I actually do right handed and not left. Like controling the mouse and using scissors. I eat left handed, throw, bat and golf left. I shoot rifles and shotguns right handed. That is because I am right eye dominate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.(Redirected from Ambidextrous)"Ambidexterity is the ability of being equally adept with each hand (or, to a limited degree, feet). The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi, meaning "both," and dext, meaning "right." Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides".As an inborn trait ambidexterity is rare, though it can be learned. Most ambidextrous people still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity. Each side of the brain conrols the opposite side of our bodies. Some people have been known to hesitate upon the decision the brain makes while attempting to use either right or left side, most likely the motor controlled side that would benefit most.In modern times, it is more common to find people considered ambidextrous who were originally left handed, and learned to be ambidextrous either deliberately or during childhood in institutions such as schools where right-handed habits are often emphasized. Ambidexterity is often encouraged in activities requiring a great deal of skill in both hands, such as swimming and combat."you draw your own conclusions on whether your ambidextrous or not, I always thought that if you could do a certain feat with both hands both to the same degree. I.E. writing being able to write with both hands with the same control. and as i side note, I can print backwards and also upsidedown.
