Poll: Are you left-handed or right-handed?

4 points by biot ↗ HN
Roughly 10% of the population is left-handed, with right-handers at 70-90%, and the rest mixed-handed or, in rare cases, ambidextrous. Some suggest that left-handers are more predominant in creative areas. How does HN compare?

Trained ambidextrous, right hand bias.

Right-handed writer, batter, thrower. Left hand driver, by wide margin. My left hand knows things about how to drive a car in straight lines that my right will never know.

I use my left hand to write and do other things which require fine motor skills. Everything else is either right-handed or I can use either.

I use a knife and a mouse with my right hand but my left hand for everything else.

Mostly left-handed here. It's the first time I've heard that most knives are designed for the right hand though. Scissors, yes, but not knives.
