I turned out to be mildly left handed and close to ambidextrous.

Well, your educational background and mental health sure back up what the docs said! Pretty unbelievable -- art and architecture!!
I wonder if kids now can be more left handed than when I was growing up (50's) and starting school. I was allowed to write with my left hand, but it was a right handed world. I wonder if your daughter has more lefty latitude that may allow her to choose her left hand more?
I am very ambidextrous, as is my mom who would have been a lefty but had to use her right hand in school, ...the bad old days.
I was married to a carpenter who was profoundly left-handed/footed/etc. It was so weird to see him cut with scissors and sharpen a pencil and stir things, etc. with his left hand! And, to use power tools, hammers, etc. I'm a righty for all of that!
Secretly, I like being a little different....
