This simple survey will tell you how left-handed you are and give you an overall score you can compare to the thousands of others who have taken the test.
You can see our analysis of the test results so far here.
So go ahead and tick the options for which hand you use for various things and see how you rate overall…
How left handed are you?
We all have our own view of whether we are left-handed or not and, ultimately, that is the the test - if you consider yourself to be left-handed then you are! That said, most people are mixed in their handedness and it is rare for people to do everything with just one hand or side of their body. Our test below will show which side you use for various tasks and how consistent you are in the use of your hands. It will also give you give you an overall score out of 100 for your level of left-handedness and you can see how you compare to other people. To get the overall score, we have weighted the various factors so, for example, writing left-handed gets a far higher weighting in the overall score than which way you hold a bat two-handed (see this page for more information on how we did this).
It was hard to pick whether I use my right or left hand for some of these activities bc I use both/switch back & forth a lot. I know I was actually born left-handed,but was made to switch by my family so I ended up basically ambidextrous.
When I was only little and in primary school, the mum’s would tie my left hand with rope to the back of the desk, for being obstinate.
a lot of the stuff it did not ask me I used my left hand or both for and I brush my hair with both hands and it would be greatly appreciated by me if you added more questions.
Due to my age, many things (like batting) were taught me right handed. When I use a tennis racket or golf club I use my left because I learned at an older age and made my own switch. I believe most lefthanders are more “both handed” due the nature of society especially for those born prior to 1950. It’s necessary for me to rely on my right ear since I developed nerve deafness in my left ear.
Question why my answers to the survey were NOT accepted?
Iam lefty hander i do every work with left hand
The result is about what I thought it would be. My folks always made remarks about the way I used my hands scared them to death whenever I cut anything – always with my left hand. I love being able to use both hands the way I do.
When i first started school in 1971,1972, i remember being yelled at for writing with my left hand. I was forced to write using my right hand. For quite some time.made feel i wasnt normal even.
I eat with either hands,swapping cutlery without thinking about it. Feels same.either iether. I just play some sport righthand. 60/90 according to your test. Love my quirks.?
83% – mainly left handed. I never had left handed scissors growing up, so had to learn how to use right handed ones. Also, I’m blind in my left eye, and I hear better out of my right ear, so I have to use the right side ones. Other then that, I’m a total lefty!!
