My daughter used to know her left and right pretty well, then she started getting them confused, I believe it is from going to kids concerts and watching kids shows where the host says "put your right hand up", the presenter then raises their right hand. What do kids do when they copy, they mirror so all the kids put their left hands up. Grrrrrr.
I think imogen has relearned right and left now though.

Har har.

I used to do my stint as instructor and when I worked with the trainees part of their exam (law enforcement work) was to take statements and testimony from folks acting the part of the bad guy. When I played the bad guy and they asked me to raise my right hand to take the Jurad I would always raise my left hand. Few realized it and of course all their work was worthless and they flunked the exercise.

I write with my right hand but eat with my left. I can juggle 2 balls with a single hand, either right of left. Does this mean I'm ambi, or these are simply feats that I've taught myself?

Ed, I am joining despite anything you may say. I am ambidextrous but in all honesty I am at the same time only left handed or only right handed. I often find myself just using one hand to do everything, ignoring the other hand. Everything except write, can only do that with my right hand. Maybe I should start a thread for "'Other handedness People'.

What qualifies someone as being left-handed? I write with my right hand, bowl,play racquetball & tennis right handed, shoot right hand, play basketball right hand. But I throw left-handed, kick with my left foot, golf left. Both hands to shave ,eat, and throw darts. What am I?

I write, eat, shoot, and shave left handed. Everything else is just whatever feels natural. Usually with sports its different each day especially soccer/football/anything to do with my feet. Bowling I suck at no matter which hand I use.

Sounds like you are predominately right handed, but I am no expert. Left handers are in my opinion folk who do most or all things requiring only one hand.with their left. And ambi's can use either hand for any task.

Unless you play ball sports standing in your hands, which "foot" you utilise is nothing to me
It sounds to me that you are a lefty and may join.

Left-handers are funnier.

I insist that as an ambi that you complete the same task concurrently with both hands and see which comes out best
