How common is being ambidextrous, I sort of am, how many percent of people are?
What you are describing is what is know as being mixed-handed, not ambidextrous. Less than one percent of the population is truly ambidextrous. Being ambidextrous is actually a disadvantage in many ways and usually indicates abnormal brain function. To be truly ambidextrous means that a person would be able to perform virtually any task with both hands, and that includes writing. So if you don’t naturally write with both hands with relative ease, you are not ambidextrous. It is a moderate advantage in sports and martial arts, but a liability otherwise. People who are truly ambidextrous often have difficulty discerning left from right and are also often dyslexic, or suffer from something similar to dyslexia such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. Baseball player Pete Rose is ambidextrous, and so was the murderer, Billy the Kid.
