I m mix-handed. I use my left hand for writing and using the fork (sometimes knife) but my right side is stronger about most of other tasks and more muscular. Since today I wasn't sure if I m left handed or right :) now I m mix handed lol. I think I should do some research. Today I read about that mix-handed kids more likely have ADHD problems ... I think we should know about good and bad sides of being mix-handed. Thank you for this page.. Hey, I like what u have done. I m mix-handed.

I think I should do some research. Today I read about that mix-handed kids more likely have ADHD problems …

I think we should know about good and bad sides of being mix-handed.

Thank you for this page..

In pool (billiards) it all depends on the shot to be made. I have severe left right confusion, with the words left and right never being absolute, so my wife will say my side or your side, otherwise if she says right 50% of the time I'll move over into the left lane preparing for a left turn. I wonder if L/R confusion is frequent with mixed handedness. Now some are linking mixed handedness to ADHD, which I have had forever. At least in my old age many things are finally becoming clear.

Just like Akemi said, surgeons need to use both hands depending on the patient's body. Another one I can think of is Kobe Bryant being able to use his left hand to shoot when his right side is being blocked. Thanks for this and I laughed on your #10 (I ask this question a lot :)) Being ambidextrous is important in critical situations, like needing to use chopsticks to eat Chinese food with (joking).

Are you still on Twitter? Haven't seen you lately, though I'm usually on late at night. That's interesting that you have two ambidextrous daughters. @ Akemi, some stats have shown that left-handers are much less likely to become surgeons, because it makes it harder for the team to anticipate everyone's movements. But I can see how it would be very useful for a surgeon to switch hands when needed. I used to put my right thumb on top. Now it feels almost as natural with my left thumb on top. @ Jamie, yeah, you wouldn't expect it to be such a big deal, but switching thumbs almost feels like you're in a parallel universe. @ cd, but if you were paying attention to the details in the first place, maybe you'd recall them. :) @ Ryan, thanks for the support.

I think the clasping hand thing is neat - it is funny to do it the way opposite of how I normally do it (right thumb on top) feels sooooo strange!! Interesting post!

He says he practiced it, not born mix handed. Btw I put my right hand thumb on top when I clasp.

I see you've put out a new Ebook. I haven't stopped by in a while, sounds like you really did your research. I have an two ambidextrous daughters, though one favors her left hand, so I started learning to write both ways a few years back. Love the concept. Have a good Day and way to go on the site. Ryan Hey Hunter!
