Lefty or Righty?

[Medic9]

I would like to have a poll on here. How many of you are left handed vs. right handed. When I joined the Army way back in 1990 and got to my job training as Military Police I noticed there were quite a few left handers. Since then I have watched people in the medical fields and law enforcement and noticed the large number of left handed people working in those fields.
So can you all humor me and do this?
Thanks!!!

I'm completely ambidextrous. There's no clear favorite between hands, so I generally go for whichever is closer if I have to grab something. My handwriting in my left and right hands doesn't vary at all, aside from a slight lean to either side.

ha!! i'm left handed! well i'm ambidextrous but i do the majority of my writing with my left hand......and i don't write like upside down like a lot of left handers do.....-_-

Me too! Apparently it is often a symptom of dslexia to be ambidextrous. I had a heck of a time growing up learning left from right because a teacher told me, 'Right is the hand you write with' and I wrote equally well with both. I do tend to write primarily with the right, but I eat almost exclusively with my left. That's because at the dinner table with my multitude of siblings, I got to sit next to my left handed brother. Eating with my left hand meant we didn't knock elbows.

I am left, but my politics are more to the right.

Lefty.....

I am ambidextrous! Mainly write with my left hand because of teachers in school forcing me to write with my right hand only but I can write and do anything with right or left! Doesn't make a difference to me in the least!

Where is ambidextrous?

The ability to administer D50 with either hand

MMiz - just use FireFox... it is included.



I'm right-handed, but left-eye dominant. I shoot pistols right handed, but with my left eye... I shoot rifle/shotgun with my left hand.

Lucky Me

I can write with both hands, quality of writing is the same. I can also use a baseball bat with either side and shoot a basketball with both. Guess if I break one arm, I'm in luck.

I'm right handed but my left hand is still pretty strong. Not ambidextrous like my dad or my brother but still not bad.

I'm a lefty, but if need be, I can go right handed. not very well, but it works.:unsure:

 

[wolfwyndd]

I ANSWERED lefty, but I'm actually more ambidextrous. About the only thing I actually do with my left hand every time is write. Beyond that I used both hands equally for tasks.

 

[Medic9]

Okay if you all haven't figured it out I am a lefty and like I said in the original post I am curious about the numbers. Most leftys use both hands but write with the left. We have had to adapt to a world designed for right-handed people. One good thing for us is doing intubations. We are able to use our dominate hand which is usually stronger to lift.
My quest continues!

Medic, I put ambidextrous because while I write with my right, I do nearly everything else with my left. In fact, after they mentioned in class handling the scope with the left, I realized I did it naturally, and couldn't even fathom how you'd manage with your right. Also, my left hand and arm is the stronger one.
