ambidextrousness
Equal hand ability
The quality of being able to use both hands with equal skill.
Most people favor one hand, but those with ambidextrousness can write, throw, or perform fine motor tasks equally well with either.
The word can extend beyond physical dexterity to describe mental or political flexibility—the ability to work both sides of an issue.
