Right handed, because my teacher used to smack me when i used to write with my left hand, now that i think about it she was a *****, i wonder if my writing wouldn't look so terrible if i was left handed.

Left handed. :)

But I guess because I started gaming when I was around 5 years old, I've never had any difficulty with the 'right handed bias' of console controllers. I played all the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games like a right handed person. I also eat with a knife and fork like a right handed person. I guess where etiquette or demand calls for it, I can be right handed, but I write and do most things with my left hand.

Heh heh. Most things. Heh heh.

Hmm. Over-representation of left-handers, statistically speaking. (highest official estimates are no more than 20% of the population.)

I'm left-handed, but I suppose I'm semi-ambidextrous, since I can do most things right-handed (including writing) if I have a reason to.

Partly that's probably because I spent time at schools where it was still forced upon everyone.

I was extremely right handed for a while, but I've been putting some effort into strengthening my left. Gotten to the point that I can write legibly and throw/catch things, so I'm pretty happy.

I was supposed to be left handed but then my Oma smacked me saying it was 'the devil's hand'... So now I suck at writing with both. Play hockey left handed, write primarily with my right.

Ambidextrous. Mostly use the right, but I can shoot and write and type with the left hand.

I am right-handed, but write with the wrong hand.
So writing is the only thing I do with my left hand. Guess I just got it wrong in Kindergarten and no one told me. laissez fair.

I'm right handed, but my left eye is my master eye, so anything that requires aiming (golf, snooker, shooting, archery etc.) I usually do left handed, but am basically ambidextrous, though this only works in those situations. I can't draw lef- handed, or play guitar or anything like that.

I will go with cross dominance.
bust most people would just say ambidextrous.
I mean when I am at work, I apply polish with my left hand but preform the rest of the manicure/pedicure with both or right hand.

when I learned to write I learned to do so with my left hand, due to this my left hand has developed allot more dexterity than my right hand. I am however, naturally right handed and my right hand is stronger and steadier. Anything that requires a strong, steady hand I do with my right hand, however if motor skills are an issue I use my left hand. If I need both I use my right hand to steady my left hand since its mainly my left fingers that have their magic.
As a result my doodles are complete crap but my actual drawings match up to fourth best in the school without ever having touched any art programs.

Guitar shopping is a pain in the ass though. :(

Ambidextrous, whilst im used to writing with my right hand I can, if I please, write with my left but it isn't so good. I do however open tins, bat (Cricket) left handed, and do several other things left handed though those things currently allude my memory.

I just play righty, the way I see it my dominant hand is doing all of the fretting which is the more complicated part anyway.

I found this to be effective when playing double bass and cello, but not so much for guitar and bass guitar. Everyone's different, I guess. :s

Drumming has progressively made me ambidextrous. I write with both hands now, and I can do Jazz beats with either side leading.
