Which one are you? Right-handed, Left-handed, Cross-dominance, or Ambidextrous.
Ok, as we all know this is a right-handed world. With approximately 90% of the population being right-handed, while most of the remaining are left-handed. A very small percentage (approximately 1 to 3%) of the population can use both hands equally well; a person with this ability is deemed to be ambidextrous. I just want see if we match up with the odds.
I'm ambidextrous.

Edit: Also just so you know there is difference bewtween cross-dominance and ambidextrous.
Cross-dominance is sometimes known as mixed-handedness, is a motor skills manifestation in which a person not necessarily being truly ambidexterous favors one hand for some crucial and precise fine motor skill operations and the other for others. It can be readily observed, for ex, in some members of a police force who shoot with one hand and write with the other.
Ambidexterity is the ability of being equally adept with each hand (or, to a limited degree, feet). The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi, meaning "both," and dext, meaning "right (as opposed to left)." Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides" lol razz .
