Ambidextrous. Broke my right arm and fingers on my right hand so many times that I just sort of got used to being left handed too XD

Right-handed, but my mother is left-handed. When I was a kid, I did a lot of things left-handed like her, since there were some left-handed tools around (like scissors).
She, in turn, used to get smacked on the wrist as a child by ignorant teachers for trying to use her left hand, so learned to do a lot of things right-handed.
So when I was a kid, my mother and I were a little bit ambi-d, simply out of repetitive use. But I think now we've both reverted mainly to using our dominant hands, since I moved out a long, long time ago, and she now has all left-handed tools.

Ambi-dextrous to a degree (like my father and grandfather).
There are many complex tasks I can perform equally well with both arms/hands (firing a gun, preparing food, mechanics, soldering, dining).
I know I'm ambidextrous by genetics though because when I went to camp to learn archery (years and years ago) the instructor found that I did not favor either eye for sighting.
Normally, the that eye you favor is opposite that of your dominant hand (right-hand, left-eyed). We repeated the test several times, but found that my aiming performance didn't change when I changed hands for drawing the string.
Further, my improvements in aiming from practice did not change at all when I swapped hands.
However, I was taught to favor my right hand for writing, so for practical/social purposes and this influence has impacted other functions (drawing, pitching a ball, using a computer mouse).
So for practical purposes, I'm right-handed, and that's what I consider myself to be openly.
I wish I had known about that earlier so I could undo the damage my schooling had inadvertently done. Oh wells.

I lost my hands in an incident at a nacho eating contest, I keep them hung off of lanyards in my cupboard now...
Fine, I'm right handed.

I'm ambidextrous. I can do nothing with both hands.
In all seriousness, I AM ambidextrous. Generally do things right handed but I can switch pretty easily if I have to, which is very useful when working in my landbased college in the woods XD
