View submission: Some questions for the left-handed people
1-4 right, 5-8 left, or both in some cases. (you really need to learn to create a survey).
I'm not ambidextrous but pretty close to what you can get to with learned skills. A lifetime of origami, scale models, lego, video games (I use the mouse with the right) and table football gave me pretty strong fine motoric skills and hands-eye coordination in general with both hands despite being strongly left dominant. I usually semi-consciously switch tools, utensils and whatever between hands back and forth to be optimal. Plus obviously 40 years of living here in opposite-land.
Upon reflection I often use my right hand for things to keep my dominant left hand free as a "quick reaction force" - for holding myself on the bus/boat/car, catching myself if I fall, grab after my kid if he falls, open/close doors as I carry things, push things out of the way, etc. So I learned to do a lot of things right handed to keep the left free.
There's nothing here!
