==Ambisinistrality== {{anchor|Ambisinistrality}} A related variation to one that is ambidextrous is a person who displays "ambisinistrality" or is "ambisinistrous". This term is a near inverse to ambidexterity as Latin root of the word ''ambi-'' means both and the Latin root of the word -''[[wiktionary:sinistral|sinistral]]'' means "left", being derived from the word sinister. The term "ambisinistral" can be directly interpreted as "both left" or "both sinister". The term is used in non-scientific manners to describe individuals who have two non-dominant hands, as both hands are either clumsy or insufficient in motor skill and are therefore used equally as much.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oklahoman |first=Bill Sones and Rich Sones |title=It may be good to be ambidextrous, but 'ambisinistrous'... not so much |url=https://www.oklahoman.com/story/lifestyle/2016/12/20/it-may-be-good-to-be-ambidextrous-but-ambisinistrous-not-so-much/60629999007/ |access-date=2023-05-16 |website=The Oklahoman |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Meghan |date=March 7, 2022 |title=10 Fascinating Facts You Never Knew About Ambidextrous People |url=https://www.rd.com/list/facts-ambidextrous-people/ |access-date=2023-05-16 |website=Reader's Digest |language=en-US}}</ref> In a 1992 [[The New York Times|New York Times]] Q&A article on ambidexterity, the term was used to describe people "...with both hands as skilled as a right-hander's left hand."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ray |first=C.
