Ambidexterity
Ambidexterity (from Latin ambi, “both,” and dexter, “right,” meaning “with both hands”) is a person's ability to use both hands with equal ease and skill to perform various tasks. People traditionally prefer to use one hand, called the dominant hand, for most activities. In contrast, ambidextrous people can perform the same tasks with either hand without a noticeable difference in skill or speed.
