I write left, throw right, bat left.

Know anyone that's ambidextrous?

Southern Baptist here.

My brother throws a baseball and football left handed but writes with his right hand.

I do some things right, some things left and some both. Switch hitter in baseball. Shoot a basketball left, but throw everything else right. Can shoot a gun or bow equally well either hand. Write right, shoot pool left. Golf right. Clap left handed (think about it, there's a difference). I don't switch hands when I eat and cut food like most people.

And yes, can fap with either hand.

One or two people. But they're more split tasks between the hands than fully ambidextrous.

I'm ambidextrous and use it all the time. I design and install graphics on buildings, buses, etc. I have found that over 75% in my industry are primarily left handed though. Kinda weird, but left handed people are technically in their right mind.

I'm not perfectly ambidextrous, but it's close. I write left-handed, but can throw a football, shoot a basketball, play golf and peel crawfish (I don't know many who switch their peel hand) equally on either side. Another good test is if you can control a computer mouse with the opposite hand you normally do.

That's not ambidexterity. If he can throw or write with both of his hands, then he's ambidextrous. People often confuse doing certain things with a certain hand with ambidexterity. Most people don't do everything with one hand.

Good point. I also never considered people who could bat or swing golf clubs both ways as ambidextrous. Those motions always use both hands (and most of the body). That'd be like saying I'm ambidextrous because I can change a diaper with my kid's head on my left or right side. Or I'm ambidextrous because when someone pulls me off the ground, I can give them either hand while the other pushes off the ground.

I can hit a ball from either side of the plate and swing a golf club from my off side better than some can from their dominant side, but I can barely brush my teeth with my left hand and certainly can't throw or write with it without looking like a 2 year old. I don't consider myself ambidextrous.
