Does writing with your left hand make you left handed, or, as in my case, since
I'm basically right-handed predominant except for writing (and who writes
anymore, anyway) would I be considered right-handed?

If you saw that a baseball was about to smack you in your noggin from directly
in front of you, would you catch/deflect it with your left or right hand?
(Assuming, of course, that simple dodging was not an option).

Hardly a scientific assessment, I grant you, but I propose multiple attempts to
gain a representative sample size.

Dave!

When you ask the question, it requires thought--all spontaneousness reflexive
action is then ignored...

What would I do...

Right now I think that if something was thrown at my face, I'd throw up both
arms to protect my face.  When someone throws a pencil or something at me right
now, I usually attempt to catch it with my right hand.  I use a right handed
baseball mitt because I'm more comfortable catching with that hand--but I also
throw better with my right hand.
