“I am left handed but i can write with my right hand (just a little slower). But i brush my hair, throw things, stir, and drink with my right hand.
I use my right foot for kicking and stopping the ball in soccer.
My right eye is dominant (i use it more).
The only things i really do with my left hand is eating and writing.
Does that mean im lefty, righty or ambidextrous?


You have a cross-lateralization. You can check it in this test (not professional, of course):

I've recently discovered that my eye dominance is left (I am right-handed) and many psychologists say that eye-hand crossing causes troubles with visual-motor coordination (e.g. writing, dancing). I wonder if it's true... in fact my handwriting isn't beautiful and dancing isn't my strong point.. How is in Your cases?

We are similar. I am in a state of confusion as well. I am refered to as a lefty. I write and throw with my left hand and my left eye is dominat. However there are somethings I must do with my right side it just feels more comfertable. Also, overall my right hand feels stronger and now, I have come to wonder exactly what I would be considered. I think though that this right side preference (for me) would be from the everday items I come into contact with. A majority of things made are designed for right handers thus forcing me to learn. So I would say we are Ambidextous. =] All the better.

I was born left handed, but as a lot of left handers do I became ambidextrous by growing up in a right handed world (e.g can openers, scissors etc). I can throw, catch and bat with either hand. I can shoot pool, play golf and tennis with either hand. I use a right handed mouse. My right eye is dominant and I prefer using my right hand more. I write with my left hand, but can write with either. I never tried to become ambidextrous it just happened naturally.

Im a lefty by nature, but am now and equal ambidextrous. My left-hand writing has always been some what unintelligible, but I'm dislexic so naturally it would become so. My sister on the other hand (shes a lefty) her hand writing is of the uttmost beauty, it depends on the person I believe, who can say if your writing will become beautiful. But I can say that yes, you have a greater chance of it being so if you became ambidextrous.

Is that because left-handers are just naturally more ambidextrous then right-handed people or because they grow up in a world that is designed for right handers and develop decent motor skills in there both hands? I have noticed as well they use there right hands better then right handers use there left hands.

are either of your parents lefties? being that they do most of the teaching, if they were they could have influenced you from the start to be left handed while you were really suppose to be right.
