Today, I started my research on ambidexterity. My project is to work on becoming ambidextrous, and strengthen my left hand in writing and everyday functions, since I am right handed. Ambidexterity, defined, is a person’s ability to use both hands at an equal level of skill. I learned that only 1% of people are truly considered ambidextrous. Hopefully with a lot of practice, I can be a part of that 1% someday! Also, I learned that there is a minor form of ambidexterity, which is called ambisinistral. It means that a person can use both hands, but only clumsily. True ambidexterity means that people can use their hands as equally well as they use their dominant hand. I plan to work on my left handed writing/drawing everyday, as well as doing simple things like eating and brushing my teeth in order to strengthen my left hand. I’m excited to see where this project takes me!
