Dexterity

1. How skilled are you with a chef’s knife?

   I'm ok. Not professional-grade, but I rarely manage to injure myself anymore.

2. How skilled are you with chopsticks?

   I can pick up shrimp and veggies, but the whole "shoveling rice in at speed" thing is beyond me.

3. How skilled are you with a hammer?

   Not as skilled as you might think. My aim is poor. But I know how to use both sides appropriately, and I know when I need a different tool entirely.

4. How skilled are you with a corkscrew?

   I used ours last week for the first time in, literally, years and had no problem. I guess it's like riding a bike.

5. How skilled are you with a needle and thread?

   I'm fairly skilled at hand-sewing/mending. I'm too lazy to get the sewing machine out for anything, so everything I do, I do by hand. Yes, it takes longer, but there are no bobbins required. And I do NOT make Big Things--I'm talking about using the same sewing box--and some of the same thread--that I got when I was 22!
