Am I ambidextrous?

I only write with my left hand, but hold my crochet hook with my right hand, swap my cutlery instead of turning my plate, belay with both arms when I’m climbing... does that mean I’m ambidextrous? I’ve always thought that would be quite a cool thing to be...

I’m right-handed, but iron left-handed, and use remote controls with my left hand. (I do MUCH more of one than the other.)

I thought ambidextrous was when you could write perfectly with both hands too.

I also know a lot of left handed people who only use their left to write but use the other for everything else. 🤷‍♀️

I do that but I’m dyspraxic . Confuses everyone . I’ve no idea which hand I prefer , except for writing and brushing my teeth - I usually just use the nearest hand .

When I was much younger they said I had a significant left side neglect though (only with hand), I don’t think that’s such a problem now thankfully .
