Life Choices Survey
We are undertaking the biggest ever survey of left-handedness in various Groups of people to find out what advantages and disadvantages left-handers have and how it affects their choices and success of career, sports, social activities and other lifestyle choices.
We want as many individuals and group organisers as possible to complete the survey so we have a large sample to analyse and give reliable results. Please complete the survey yourself and ask other people you know if they would be willing to do it as well.
If you are active in more than one "group" please complete a separate survey for each group, e.g. if you are an Architect who runs a football team and a car club, please fill out the survey once for each group
All information provided for this survey will be kept strictly confidential.

Can you help us?
We are very keen to encourage more detailed research into groups where left-handers seem to either excel or struggle.
If you are involved in an association or representative group for any business or social niche we would love to work with you to extend the survey to your members through your website, magazine, email newsletter etc.

Click here to see the report on these results and our initial thoughts on why
Do left handers earn more?
A recent study from the US National Bureau of Economic Research reveals that among graduates the earning power of left-handed men is 15pc greater than that of men who are right-handed.

Calling all Students
If you are involved in statistical analysis or are a student studying a degree that involves statistics or data analysis maybe you could undertake a small project as part of your studies to collect and analyse data on a group that you are part of or interested in.
From our initial responses, students as a group seem to have less left-handers than average - why is that?
