  • Title: Inventory-derived task handedness preferences of nine professions and their associations with self-report global handedness preferences.
    Author: Ransil BJ, Schachter SC.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1998 Feb; 86(1):303-20. PubMed ID: 9530754.
    Abstract:
    The handedness preference (laterality) of 1,196 professionals grouped in nine professions previously reported using self-reported global handedness and scores on a modified Edinburgh Handedness Inventory was further defined by evaluating the association between profession and the 10 manual tasks of the inventory. The previously reported ranking of professions in order of increasing righthandedness of laterality score arose from the handedness of specific inventory tasks. A similar association was found for self-reported global handedness. The evidence continues to support the hypothesis of an association between handedness preference and specific aptitudes or skills in this sample of professional persons.
