What even is Ambi-dexterity? Ambidextrous individuals have the unique ability to use both their left and right hands with equal skill. This trait often translates to improved hand-eye coordination, better problem-solving skills, enhanced creativity, and increased flexibility in tasks requiring manual dexterity.
In fields such as art, music, sports, and surgery, ambidextrous individuals can have a competitive advantage due to their ability to switch hands seamlessly and perform tasks with precision.
Hi,
I’m one of the least famous ambidextrous people currently alive. I’m 36 years old and I write exclusively with my left hand. However, I hold a computer mouse exclusively in my right hand. Nothing special, right?
Consider this:
- I
lovewon competitive PC games. - You hold your computer mouse in those games.
- I currently belong in the top 3.6% of all Valorant players (proof)
- With minimal practice, I have 73.7% win rate.
I used to play Counter-Strike, where I held the highest competitive rank of Global Elite for over 5 years… before I got bored.
It is safe to say I’m ambidextrous.
Still not impressed?
I can perform any task requiring ambidexterity better than anyone I ever met. If you have a challenge for me, I’m all ears.
Give me 3 months and I will score 5,1/10 penalties against any goalkeeper on the planet. We are talking football, not hand egg.
I haven’t played Football in over 10 years.
Jealous?
Don’t be, in practical terms, ambidexterity on its own is not a superpower. If you want to test your ambidexterity, try doing something you were previously only using your right/left hand for a couple of months, say 3. Legs are hands too.
If you make significant progress in that time, congratulations, you are ambidextrous and you can forever claim you belong to a fairly exclusive club.
