I am right handed :D
I wish I was both. It would make things so much easier! Do you know how much cooler my art would look if I could use both hands!?

Interesting to compare this to @Demeter's 2014 dominant hand poll:
What's your dominant hand?

The number of right-handed users is about the same, but there's almost 50% more left-handed users! The ambidextrous crowd has fallen by about 18%. Although since less than 1% of the general population is ambidextrous, I'm willing to bet that most people saying they are ambidextrous aren't really ambidextrous!

Actually, @Nate, less than 1% of the general population is naturally ambidextrous. It's still possible to train yourself to become ambidextrous, although it would obviously take a lot of work over a long period of time. But I agree; given these factors, and the fact that being ambidextrous means you have to be equally skilled at using both of your hands, I have a feeling that a lot of people who say they are ambidextrous are giving a little too much credit towards one of their hands.


P.S.: I'm definitely right-handed, as I'm horrible at using my left hand.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

I would be the common right handed person. My mom is left handed though. I almost wish I was ambidextrous incase I couldn't use my right hand. :-|

I think all the people who put "ambidextrous" here do it because they can write better with their non-dominant hand than most people can with their dominant hand. Look at a lot of people's handwriting...
Und so lang du das nicht hast
Dieses: Stirb und Werde!
Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde

(And as long as you don't have
This: Die and become!
You are only a gloomy guest
On the dark Earth)

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
