Is there any benefit to changing your handedness before your

ambidextrous i guess. my mom, due to weird ass religious bullshit, had her dominant hand (left) tied behind her back when her parents realized she was left-handed, now she is pretty ambidextrous because of it

I was born left-handed and forced to write right-handed like your mother. I want to go back to my left-handed routes but I read somewhere that ambidextrous people are generally less intelligent and more likely to be schizophrenic

You lose 8-10 IQ points and suffer memory losses plus increased risks of mental disorders.
The parts of the brain controlling fine motor skill (hand/finger use) have nothing to do with creativity and imagination.

>all this bullshit

Lol

When I was about 15 I decided it was stupid that an entire half of my body should be incapable of fine motor skills, so I tried to become ambidextrous. I started by just remembering to open and close doors with my left hand for about a week, then moved on to using silverware and tossing balls around or w/e. After a month or two I reached the point where I can write equally as neatly with my left hand as I do my right, albeit slowly.

That's where I am now as I never bothered perfecting it, but I still occasionally use my left hand to do things without thinking about it. I AM slightly neurotic, but I seriously doubt my handedness was a major cause of it.

All the memories and motor function that you have associated with your left or right hand becomes entirely different if you use your other hand.

For example if you eat with your other hand you begin to fire neurons down the same pathways that the brain uses for the right hand, but now this time it is the nerves in the left hand that are connecting to it. When you begin to build those new connections then you effectively revisit all the things are are associated with learning to use utensils and eating.

The more habitual and used to something that we are the more we fire those synapses without thinking or altering those patterns. If you have to retrain yourself to learn how to use your hand to do something then you begin to see how the faculties of the conscious mind intercede with the functioning of the unconscious.

I think a good analogy is something like creating a character in a game. When you first start out you just put your points into random skills and you don't really understand the importance of vitality or strength or charisma; you just spend the points kind of blindly. When you make a character again after having played for a while you understand what traits and abilities you need. You kind of get to go back and mull over your choices and even change them too.
