How good are you with your less-dominant hand?

No one's completely ambidextrous. We all have one hand that's slightly better than the other, that's used more often.

But what about the other hand? What can you do with it?

For me, I'm right-handed. And my left-handed handwriting is like that of a first grader. A first grader with bad handwriting.

Yeah, I don't do much with my left hand but I'm trying to. I just habitually use my right for pretty much everything D:

WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS
I really hate how I've made more than 12,000 posts here. Thankfully this swaying, moving Chandelure makes it all worth it.

I'm only good with controlling movement with my left hand (wasd, d-pad, etc.)

I just realized, I can't really do this with my right. Like if a game requires using the arrow keys to move I hate it. I'd much rather use my left hand to move around.

I'd like to thank Realm of the Mad God for teaching me how to use the wasd keys.

I'm right-handed, but I use my left hand a lot too. Mostly to hold my food so I can eat while I drive :)

My right hand is dominant, but my left arm is more powerful, so left hand is used for heavy stuff while Right hand stays pretty for my writing.

Oh Vesperia, never change... never change

So in other words, you fap with your left hand?

I don't know why my right arm is stronger than my left. I carry things in my left arm all the time. Heavy things. I always tend to use my left arm for larger jobs and my right arm/hand for more meticulous jobs... yet my right arm is still stronger.

Life sucks.

I'm pretty good with my right, but if I focus I can get my left hand to do fairly similar things (just more time consuming/requires more focus and whatnot).

I'm rather ambidextrous at one-handed driving, as I sometimes like drinking something (like pop, water, or coffee)-and taught myself how to work the stalks on the wheel (i.e. for turn signals, windshield wipers, headlights), turn the wheel (believe it or not I do better one hand turning with my left), and alter gear selection (this is better left to my right hand, mostly due to positioning).

I've also proven my ability to eat certain things with both hands rather well (I'm referring to utensil usage).

One-handed driving wouldn't be a problem with me either side, but I'd probably be using my right hand just because of my tendency to stick my arm out the window. Provided I was driving an automatic.

The Riddler

I drive with my left hand. That's about it.

I've bowled left handed and got a strike on my first try... and one or two more within the same game after that... but no such luck ever since.

I'm right handed, but I can use my left hand for a variety of things. I'm not particularly ambidextrous, but if I worked on my writing a bit more I could say I do. I actually throw lefty because I have better control. Videogames, piano/music and typing certainly helped with this.
