You'll find that it isn't helpful, specially cause ones handwriting 'changes'

It doesn't change that much, not if you're truly ambidextrous and have been taking advantage of it.

I am truly ambidextrous, I find I favour my right hand for print, and my left for running writing, plus the slant changes. I find I am more talented at using knives (for an example) with my left hand, and say mouse work with my right. It just depends on what you grew up with, my grandma (who taught me knife work) was left handed, and I mimicked this. My parents were right handed and thus when I was learning to use a computer my right hand took the mouse. It's all about training, but I do find my handwriting changes significantly from either hand, both very neat, just entirely different. I find it comes back to which hand you used to 'train' with when young.

That's all I meant really, by "taking advantage". Just that, using both hands equally at regular intervals to have two dominant hands. Clearly that's not the case with you, because you trained completely separately the two hands, while you could've just used both and made a spare dominant hand to use.

I'm ambidextrous and it would't help all that much. My left handed writing looks like a guy's handwriting and my right hand writing looks like a girls handwriting. But it is convenient when I'm doing math on a chalk/white board.

Haha for a second i thought this post meant that it would be helpful because you would know what the word ambidextrous means if you were tested on vocab X]
