I'd like to ask: who here is ambidextrous?

Question

I am, so I'm just curious...(ambidextrous means when you can do everything with both of your hands; they are both dominant).

Answer 1

Don't people who play the piano have to be ambidextrous? I know I'm not because I never could play the left hand part on the piano.

Answer 2

ME !!!!!  I CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM ; MAKE A SOUND LIKE A FROG AND WIGGLE MY EARS ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MAYBE THATS NOT AMBIDEXTROUS, WELL I CAN SHOOT A HOCKEY PUCK LEFT HANDED OR RIGHT HANDED.    I TRIED !!!!

Answer 3

I am primarily right handed, but I kicked left in soccer, shoot a rifle lefty and can bat left handed.  So I'm not ambi, but I guess I'm sorta close.

I can do one other thing with both hands, but that's no body's business but mine. :)

Answer 4

My husband was as a small child but when he entered kindergarten they made him choose a hand to be dominate.  Ignorant if you ask me!

Answer 5

I was born that way. I've heard that most babies are, but they grow out of it quickly. I never did.

Answer 6

Me. I'm totally ambidextrous. My mom even pointed out to me how I put my make-up on with both hands. My left hand does the left side of my face, and my right does the right side. As a surgical technologist, it has been very helpful, especially when suturing.

Answer 7

i'm not.

i never knew we all (or most of us) come this way, but i did know it could be exercised and achieved through practice.

it has something to do with the brain's lobes, so i also think it is kinda disputable.

i tried to become one.

but i am too lazy, on 'the other hand'...

Answer 8

thanks to the so called teachers of the 60s and back, I am. Being left handed, they did not want to teach kids who were, so they tried to make kids write right handed. My 1st grade teacher came about an inch from needing false teeth when my dad found out. but after almost a year of being changed, it made me ambidextrous. I am this way to this day, write both hands although left is dominant, bat both ways, eat both ways. Its funny, but my son is also left handed, my girlfriend is left handed and her daughter is left handed, how often does that happen?

Answer 9

I am kinda!

I can write with my left if i am writing with my right at the same time. I can write backwards forwards and upside down!

I only found out i could do it a few weeks ago

Answer 10

that would be nice in a girlfriend

Answer 11

I used to when I was young, but my mom made me choose my right hand.  :(
