Would you describe yourself as a Dexterous person (good with your hands basically)?

Question

A dexterous person is basically  artful or skilled with their hands  whether that be sowing, painting, playing instruments, archery, building or fixing things etc. It could ALSO be things like doing gymnastics, exercising, or dancing, or just  doing things with grace or agility. Does that sound like you?

I'm "kinda" to the freak level. I can type ridiculously fast, can play piano pretty well, I took classical guitar lessons for a while and my teacher thought I was some prodigy. i think I'd make a very good lockpicker if I had to pick locks. Yet you ask me to throw a basketball and I miss the entire backboard. You ask me to play darts and I miss the entire dartboard. I try to play billiards and I can't even make the easiest shots. I can do walking handstands and backflips but I sometimes bump into things when I'm just walking. There's something extremely dysfunctional and ill-coordinated in certain contexts about me, but superbly coordinated and functional in others. It doesn't make any sense and so hard to explain.

Probably 8 out of 10 on average, depending on the activity. I was a competitive shooter for about a decade, I have repaired cell phones and laptops professionally, and even my current job requires considerable dexterity.

Whole body athletic dexterity is where I lose a couple of points...

I am graceful and agile until I'm suddenly not. I do have a tendency to fall often.
I would say I am pretty dexterous. My handwriting (print) is immaculate when it's intentional (not preferred when note-taking). I enjoy writing handwritten correspondence, thank yous, etc in cursive.

Extremely. I’m left handed at sports and right handed for everything else. I play the guitar both left and right. I can write both left and right as well as backwards and upside down. I’m both artistic and mathematical. Logical and abstract. I could go on but you get the idea.

HawkPerception · Answer

I'm not artisan level, but I'd say I'm pretty dexterous with my hands. I can spin a ball on my finger and switch fingers during the spin. I can make an origami crane so small, you can barely see it (about 1/10th the size of a fingernail). I play piano a little too (not pro) but I play a few decent songs with both hands.

I'd say I'm a little above average.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

When it comes to sports or tasks, it doesn’t matter which hand I use the most.

I noticed I prefer using my left in things like tennis (some reason I have better control with my left even though I’m naturally right handed.) or I prefer to box from orthodox.

Anpu23 · Answer

Its hard for me, because I play multiple instruments, paint, do 3d graphic art, blacksmith, woodwork, study swordsmanship, shoot bow, and am generally skilled at repairs. But I have a slight tremor in my hands and fine motor skills are sometimes beyond me. So its hard.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Very.

Playing fighting games, playing musical instruments, drawing/painting, manipulating very small objects for building model kits without breaking them, fingering a girlfriend. etc.

If it requires fast, pricise hand movements, I'm good at it, only exception is typing fast without making mistakes.

Feelicks · Answer

Yea I can do baton twirling tricks and text with either hand.

I once ran along the top of a fence like a ninja when I was chasing a thief. Probably can't do that one anymore. Was not a great idea in hindsight but it looked hella cool.

Every now and again though I lose it for a second or two on my bad side and drop stuff now though. Nerve injuries suck.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Yes. I'll sit on the couch and make bracelets for hours not even paying attention to what I'm doing 😂

I mean I can paint pretty well and I do exercise and do martial arts so I guess I am what you'd call a dexterous person.

elizamichale1 · Answer

Does it involve sexual skills too lol coz if it does then i have it in me

A_Bell · Answer

I have very good reflexes if that counts. I can catch things that I've dropped before they hit the ground and did well in sports. But my handwriting looks like I write with my fists.

crazyish · Answer

Yes this definitely sounds like me. I used to play piano and I was in dance all my life practically. And I'm good at fixing and building things. Definitely not good at painting or drawing though😆

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

I write sketch and cook. Ig that makes me dexterous?

Yes, although I suck at the piano or other musical instruments. I'm good with my hands in the bedroom, though. (... I mean, by myself. In the bedroom, by myself. 😅)

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

To an extent I think I am good with my hands. I have very steady hands and good hand-eye coordination. I can draw decently well and I have neat, small handwriting.

No, not at all. I suck at dancing (even though I'm black which is even more serious) and I have no artistic skills. 😔
