To clarify:
You are only ambidexterous if you can use both your hands, equally good, at the same time. There are no such thing as an ambidexterous person with a "dominant" hand.
Double-"handness" on the other hand, is usually an effect of a known learning-disability (if you were born with the ability). Of course, with some practice, you can learn how to use both of your hands equally good.
I am right-handed, and I can use my left hand for a whole bunch of tasks as writing, but I am not double-handed or ambidexterious, *because* I can use my right hand better than my left hand.
I doubt anyone here is trully ambidexterious.

I'm left handed, but I end up using different hands a lot of the time - I'll use my mouse with either hand, or I'll catch a ball with my right and then next time use my left. But I only write with my left hand, and I hold myself when I pee with my left hand, so that makes me left-handed.
I read one time a theory that equal numbers of people would be left and right handed if it weren't for cultural stimuli. Would be interesting to find out how many people were left/right handed in a place where left-handedness was not considered demonic.
And why is it the Latin word for left is "sinister"?

because for a very long time, it was thought that left-handed people were "of the Devil."

The results of this poll will of course be swayed, since the only reason I viewed the thread was because it said left-handed 
btw, I am almost totally left-handed. The only things I do regularly with my right hand are shift my car and use my mouse.
