Dexterity, Handedness and Coordination

Not talking about kid scientists here btw :p

To what degree are you able to use your hands to perform various tasks, and coordinate your limb movements in activities like sports?

When I was younger I used to build a lot of Lego sets, and given how tiny the blocks could be... Not sure if I still have fine control like back then, but I think I can sort of get suturing techniques (which aren't that dissimilar to sewing except with harder manipulative techniques) based on the few trials I've done so far. I still like to think that I'm alright fiddling with small things.

I'm right handed, but I think I was meant to be a lefty by birth (and was forced to be a righty) because most of my arm power, coordination or otherwise comfortable grips are in my left hand (only pen like grips feel more natural in my right). Ask me to play a racquet sport with my right hand and I'll fail :p For some odd reason my two handed grip is that of a righty's.

I'm not a very well coordinated person, usually I pre-anticipate positioning and miss before the object (ball usually) actually comes into the contact zone.
