Left Handed Scissors for Hairstylists

so I’m not ambidextrous, because that’s defined as: "being able to use both hand equally well" and I CAN’T USE THEM EQUALLY WELL FOR EVERYTHING.

Some examples of my handedness are:

writing: right
drawing: both- although I’m more comfortable with my right
scissors: left
toothbrush: left
fork: both (at ease)
spoon: both (at ease)
knife: left
strike match: left
throw: right
kick: right
hold phone: left
brush hair: left

f.y.i:
I was naturally a lefty (was using left hand to write as a baby but mom ‘fixed’ me and made me start using my right hand).

So if I’m neither a righty nor a lefty, and I’m not considered ambidextrous, what am I..?

please help! I don’t know what I am and it makes me sad.. :*(

thank you!!

it’s called mixed-handedness, also known as cross-dominance

you’re mixed-handed or cross-dominant

You can answer whatever you like, so I wouldn’t worry about that! You can say that you write with your right hand but do a lot of things with your left. It depends on why they want to know!

I’ve been interested in mixed handedness lately but you don’t see a whole lot about it.

I’m left handed, but I believe I’m right-side dominant. For example my right eye, ear and foot are all dominant over my left.

LEFT SIDE: I write, draw, eat, open things.If I played golf I’d likely use a left-handed club, likewise with a baseball bat.

RIGHT SIDE: Brush my hair and teeth, drink, use a computer mouse, throw, kick, use a knife and scissors, etc.

Whenever I cook I use either hand to stir or do whatever I need to do. I don’t really have a hand preference with cooking.

I find I get easily frustrated and confused and wonder if this mixedness contributes to it.

What about you? I’m curious to know.
I also operate a phone, iPod and remote right handed if I’m using it with just one hand unless I’m doing something that requires both hand, then I operate with my left hand while holding it with my right.
Actually is’s not the same as ambidexterity. Ambidexterity is when you can perform the same task equally well with both hands. I can’t write or draw right handed.

Anything requiring finer detail (writing, drawing, eating, using chopsticks, scissors, etc) – left-hand
Anything requiring muscle or large action (throwing, golfing, batting, punching, shooting a basketball, etc) – right-hand

However, although writing with a pen/pencil right-handed is very awkward and illegible, I can easily write large on a chalkboard with no problems right-handed.

I find it odd that I’ve never had problems using a mouse right-handed.

I am equally adept with either hand when it comes to exploring and excavating the depths of my nose, or cleaning my ears with an ear-cleaner.
