I've always thought of myself as ambidextrous. When we learned to write, I used the crayon alternatively in both hands. My teacher asked if I felt more comfortable with it left or right and I remember I said "I dunno". She then said if it was all the same to me, it would be easier to hold a fountain pen in my right because I wouldn't have my hand smear the ink that way. That's how I got right handed for writing.
Lately, two doctors have told me I am probably a lefty trained to be right handed. I shrugged, because, well, I don't really feel there is anything I'd rather do with my left, as many true lefties do. They complain about scissors and can openers being the wrong way. I don't care. When building an IKEA closet, I use the screwdriver with my right hand for the corners I can best reach with my right, then switch to left for the others, and I don't mind either.
The test you linked to gives me 45, which is Middle but leaning towards right. Seems to be exactly how I feel about it. :)
There is only one thing I do almost exclusively with my left and that's holding and driving the computer mouse. I switched mouse sides during college when I had to type lots of numbers with the number block on my right and used the mouse to click on the next field. I've kept it there since, and I'm also doing photo editing and drawing with the lefty mouse.
