    When I put on my belt my left hand does all the dexterity... It's always been like that though.

    There should have been one more answer possible: ambidextrous by necessity, most tools are designed for righties...

    I was born right handed.
    Broke my right arm when I was eight. I was seriously into drawing at the time so I started drawing using my left hand. I can still do it.
    I can throw rocks using my left hand.
    I play hockey with a links hockey stick (blade on the left of your body).
    I used to box and can do both styles (links and regular).
    I play football using both legs.
    I eat using the fork in my left hand (the propper way of eating).
    My trigger finger and arrow release fingers are all on my right hand.

    Ambidextrous? - nearly but with a preference for writing and picking my nose with the right hand.

    Gah, I voted wrong. I pick my nose with my left hand, so it should have been: ambidextruous by discipline.

    My dominant superior hand is my right hand, though, indeed, by necessity I utilize my left inferior one naturally for certain tasks, for many small simple tasks too actually as I hardly even notice it. You could say I tend to the right, but am also somewhere near the center (but don't confuse this with politics of course :P).

    I had been cogitating utilizing my left hand more for the more specific tasks such as writing. I attempted it in the past but was too impatient. If I had continued it today I might have been more ambidextrous than I am currently. I will have to pick this up again.

    And when I have sufficiently learnt using my left hand for it, I will attempt to put my awesome fantastic brainpower and coordination to use by training to use both hands simultaneously to write: the right hand from right to left and the left hand from left to right, as they both make a phrase

    I was born naturally left handed, but acquired the use of my right sometime in School. Not exactly sure how, it just kind of happened.

    I write left-handed. Everything else can be done with either hand so I suppose I am ambidextrous. However, in terms of sports, I learned to do everything right-handed. Batting, throwing, golf, whatever.

    I am left-handed, eating, writing, batting, throwing, and catching with my left hand. I blade left-handed, predominantly. Oddly, I shoot (pistols, rifles triggered, bows drawn) with my right hand.

    My right hand dexterity is developed from years of piano and keyboard study. It is far more able than my left when playing, which granted, isn't unusual.

    Righty here, neither particularly proud nor ashamed. My left is a little more agile when it comes to combing my hair, for what it's worth.
