Comments by "Digital Footballer" (@digitalfootballer9032) on "Why are some people left-handed? - Daniel M. Abrams" video.
So a left handed person does all or most things left handed, a right handed person with the right, and an ambidextrous person can do all or most things with either hand. But what are you if you more or less split tasks down the middle between hands, and don't do any with both? For example, write with one, and throw with the other, swing a bat with one, and swing a golf club or hockey stick with the other? Is there a name for that? I have known several people like that including my wife. She calls herself a lefty because she writes with her left, but does alot of other things right handed.

Almost everyone I know who is left handed does most common things left handed like writing, but everything else about a quarter to half of things right handed. Like my wife, she writes and uses utensils with the left, and golfs left handed, but throws right handed, swings a bat right handed, shoots a gun right handed, and uses scissors and other tools right handed. Most right handed people seem to do most everything right handed. I do everything right handed except I shoot hockey left handed, and I throw horsehoes and bowl right handed but lead with my right foot like a lefty. Weird.

My wife is the same way. Writes and uses utensils left handed, but throws with her right. Oddly she golfs left handed, but swings a baseball bat right handed.
