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 was forced to play guitar right handed at the age of 7. I was forced to shoot a rifle right eyed in the USMC at the age of 18. I went to college to become a elementary teacher the evaluation tests are right handed. In the classrooms the overhead projectors where right handed. I had to stand in front of the light to write on the glass. I felt for the left handed students who had right handed desks. While in college I asked for a left handed desk and was sent to the disability dean to rectify the situation. I think I would play the guitar better if I learned Left.
Great website, looking forward to receiving the news letters.
