    Default Dominant Hand

    I'm right handed but I've been working on being ambidextrous.

    Ambidextrous by nature, yet when it comes to personal matters I always default to the right hand.

    They're sinister those lefties I say, sinister (wishes we had a old man with a stick smiley)

    Oh wait an open poll...

    All information you've ever heard about Ironside being left-handed is lies spread out by the sinister left.
    "Moves the mouse with the right hand". See? All the evidence you'll ever need of this matter. Now move along, nothing to see here.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Almost ambidextrous. Writing, only right handed.

    Though at football, I am perfectly ambidextrous. I can shoot the ball almost the same, even though the left is better.

    I've always been right handed but I learnt to eat the left handed way because my parents didn't even notice I eat dinner the left handed way until I was 14.

    I use my both hands.After over 5 years a go, i broke my right hand badly.(The trias bone where the fingers is attached split in half.) I had to learn to do everything with my left hand and after my right hand healed i have continued using both on most tasks.

    There should have been one more answer possible: ambidextrous by necessity, most tools are designed for righties...

    I was born right handed.
    Broke my right arm when I was eight. I was seriously into drawing at the time so I started drawing using my left hand. I can still do it.
    I can throw rocks using my left hand.
    I play hockey with a links hockey stick (blade on the left of your body).
    I used to box and can do both styles (links and regular).
    I play football using both legs.
    I eat using the fork in my left hand (the propper way of eating).
    My trigger finger and arrow release fingers are all on my right hand.

    Ambidextrous? - nearly but with a preference for writing and picking my nose with the right hand.

    Gah, I voted wrong. I pick my nose with my left hand, so it should have been: ambidextruous by discipline.

    My dominant superior hand is my right hand, though, indeed, by necessity I utilize my left inferior one naturally for certain tasks, for many small simple tasks too actually as I hardly even notice it. You could say I tend to the right, but am also somewhere near the center (but don't confuse this with politics of course :P).

    I had been cogitating utilizing my left hand more for the more specific tasks such as writing. I attempted it in the past but was too impatient. If I had continued it today I might have been more ambidextrous than I am currently. I will have to pick this up again.

    And when I have sufficiently learnt using my left hand for it, I will attempt to put my awesome fantastic brainpower and coordination to use by training to use both hands simultaneously to write: the right hand from right to left and the left hand from left to right, as they both make a phrase

    I was born naturally left handed, but acquired the use of my right sometime in School. Not exactly sure how, it just kind of happened.

    My parents told me i was left handed but started using my right hand when i was shouted at by my uncle for eating with my left hand. It was when i was 4 years old. My left hand is visibly very weak compared to my right.

    It is possible that some people, no matter which their superior hand is, use their inferior one out of habit. In my case, even when being right-handed, I always operate a phone with my left hand. A remote control too, though sometimes with right. Holding a book while reading it either right-style or left-style. When being in some location where a computer is set up for someone left-handed I just use my left hand for the mouse (though I have never tried playing games like it).

    I always found it silly when people'd see me using my left hand for they'd always ask (or generally converse) if I'm left-handed. Whereas if they'd see me using my right hand they'd never ask anything about it.

    By the way, was there no time and place when left-handed people were looked upon as evil beings by society? :P

    Yes that was true, and if you were to be in the army you had to wield your weapon with your right now and shield in the other.

    Can catch with my left hand (baseball glove is on your left hand). Can't throw with any power though.

    Can bat lefty ok, still with less power. Can't dip my shoulder or move my body into it. Would take practice.

    Drive with either hand.

    Everything else is righty only though.

    I write left-handed. Everything else can be done with either hand so I suppose I am ambidextrous. However, in terms of sports, I learned to do everything right-handed. Batting, throwing, golf, whatever.
