You don't necessarily have to be either or. If the test said you're balance brained. Then hey, assuming the test creators and evaluators, know what they're talking about then hey, you're balance brained.
The most common definition of ambidextrous is being able to use both hands with ease. If you can do that, they you're ambidextrous. And it's not stricly about writing.
There ya go. You could be both balance brained and ambidextrous. You said yourself that you're only a 'bit' better with your right hand, which implies that you've indeed done things, or at least tried with both hands. If there's only a bit of difference, that may well be good enough. Use your left hand more, bring it up to the level of your right and there ya go - improved ambidexterity.

Ambidexterity is all to do with the outer workings, how well you use both sides of your body, not how clever you are or which side of the brain you use. The test you took basically told you that you use both sides of your brain, so you can do a variety of tasks in many different ways. In other words you are both logical and creative (very generalised views on the 2 sides of the brain and their function).
As for the couting in 2 different languages... there are many children out there of the same age that are fluent in 3 or more languages. The child's brain is made in a way to make it easier to learn languages and information. As for counting that is usually just rote learning anyway (repeating what you have been told) and does not mean you had a concept of what the numbers represented.

You very well might be ambidextrous ! Being better with your right hand, however, is the result of cultural/societal pressure to be right-handed (believe it or not, there are plenty of naturally left-handed people who have been forced to write with the right hand). Perform a search on the topic of laterality if you want to learn more.
Also, there is a battery of performanced based tests for this, with both the hands and feet (feet are a good inidication of a true dominant side, since they're culturally uninfluenced).

1. Right handed 2. Definitely right brain dominant. 3. I like the creating and planning aspect more than the actual writing. BQ: not so much. I know I'm right brain dominant though. I enjoy painting and drawing and music and other forms of art a lot, but I've never liked or been good at math and science and more "logical" things. So the dominant hand part doesn't match up for me. Interesting question.

I have been both right and left handed due to pressure when I was in the orphanage. They had seats with right-handed desktops. However, I feel quite comfortable with right hand now.
On the other side, I asked my grandson the other day about how he could recite the NBA names when he was three years old....he had no idea what I was talking about. His father (an NBA fan) had drilled into him the names. On tape (we taped him) he seemed impressive. He is an "A" student but not because he's exceptionally bright.....his parents "drill" into him the importance of education, grades, and getting into a good college. His brother, however, still claims lunch and recess to be his favorite classes!!!! We'll see!

well being able to count till 50 at such a young age is not a miracle because all the kids have a super duper good memorie but they don;t understand what they are learning (i have an ex of a boy that new the name in latin of all the dinosaurus so) when your young you can memorise quite a lot but when u get alder your memory skills is geting low........and abt the ambidextrous well be practice u can become one, in your case in my opinion think u are.

If you write with both hands, yes you are.
I am too, I can do any thing with both hands, write, shoot with rifle over my left or right shoulder, use tools with any hand, hammer, drill, etc.
I'm a photography teacher and over the board I use either hand, and that makes some of my students said: wwwaaaawwwh!!, that make me proud of what I do.

How well are you with the left hand?
Most of us struggle with the non-dominant hand, but if you write with (relative) ease with both and it can be read, you could be an ambi.
