Please indicate your
preferences in the use of hands in the following activities by putting a check in the appropriate column.
Where the preference is so strong that you would never try to
use the other hand, unless absolutely forced to, put 2 checks. If in any case you are really indifferent, put a check in both columns.
Some of the activities
listed below require the use of both hands. In these cases, the part of the
task, or object, for which hand preference is wanted is indicated in
parentheses.
Please try and answer all
of the questions, and only leave a blank if you have no experience at all with
the object or task.

Scoring:
Add up the number of checks in the “Left” and
“Right” columns and enter in the “TOTAL” row for each column. Add the left total and the right total and

“Cumulative TOTAL” cell (round to 2 digits if necessary) and multiply by 100;
enter the result in the “Result” cell.
