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).
I’m right handed and my kids dad is right handed, I have two kids and one is right handed and my other is left handed. Does it mean anything? Just curious.
This is a very interesting tool!!!
i am 72% left handed. i have good memory of useless things. i have bad handwriting.
The only time when my right hand works is when it is assisting my left hand in minor tasks where my left hand needs an assistant to hold the item it is working on, such as my tablet, a book, a piece of paper, the item my left hand needs to hammer.
My right hand is my left hand’s personal assistant. Many other times, it’s just there for decoration.
There should be an option in the questions for “I can do this with either hand.” Judging by my official score, your system counted me as right-handed on every question where I could not give a simple left-or-right answer, which is plain wrong.
I definitely consider myself to be left handed but growing up in the late seventies and early eighties the teachers tried to switch us lefties to be right handed. I had no other choice than to use a righty scissors until I was in the 3rd grade of elementary school. I have learned to use eighty kitchen utensils and trying a lefty utensil feels wrong. Taking calligraphy classes in art were definitely the hardest for me. I even had a lefty Jr. High teacher but still had a hard time learning that craft. Don`t ever write with calligraphy now as an adult.
I’d be more left handed but I was taught to do
Many things with my right hand. Both my parents were right handed.
They should make kitchens for Left-Handed people, in my opinion, kitchen with island or breakfast bar don’t work for me being left-handed.
You can cut with scissors in your left hand. It hurts because you have to apply more pressure because the scissors are made for righties. Being left handed creates big issues. I got zero on a chemistry exam once. I thought it was perfect. My instructor was sharp enough to ask if I was left handed. He was able to follow my thought processes as a leftie. I asked him if I was dyslexic, he said no, just left handed.
I’m 100% left handed well and I inherited it from my dad he writes with his left hand because he was forced to do by teacher back in that time they think it’s weird to right with left hand they did try to make me write with my right hand but my mom didn’t let it happen
I was the only kid in my entire school to write with left hand the teacher were amazed the first thing they noticed about me was my left-handedness most kids tried to write with their Left hand like me because the teachers often compliments me saying I am more intelligent than the rest of the kids are and artistic and creative deu to my left hand triet they always say that I have good memories and my handwriting is pretty good in compared to others and I always used my own method to solve maths problems and also good with vocabularies
