    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.

    I do everything with my right hand. Except for eating, soemtimes I eat the left way the other time the rightway and sometimes I even swap between them during eating. Dunno why.

    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
