I'm right handed. No degree of ambidexrousness at all. I scare myself if I use a hacksaw/jigsaw/circular saw with my left.
Although with pozi woodscrews I tend to tighten with my right hand and undo them with my left. Seems to be the only thing I can do with my left hand properly, and gives me better purchase.

Thats because the bicep it the muscle which you use to turn the hand from inside to out ie right hand is clockwise (supination is the technical term) and left would be anticlockwise. more people are right handed therefore screws have a clockwise thread.
 
What a beautifully pointless question!

I haven't got the will to read through all the replies to find out what it was asked.

It reminds me of a question I was asked by a barber when I got my hair cut when I was a lad. He asked what year I was in and I replied fifth year. He paused a beat and asked 'why are you in that year then?' it never fails to raise a smile when I think of it !

Also, and you'll think Im making this up but it's absolutely true. About 10 years ago whe I was travelling the USA with a girlfriend we were in an internet cafe when a local heard our accents and asked what country we were from. I told him England. He asked 'what language d'you speak there?' true. I promise you !
 
right handed but left legged haha, I'm serious as well, okay to expand, I had a car accident when I was 19 and nearly lost my left leg, the pysiotherapy I had to endure made my left leg stronger than the right in the end and I have used the left leg since as my footie/ rugby leg, well I did before a beer gut and middle age hit me haha.
