with such inventories, individuals indicate their preferred hand for a variety of common tasks, including writing, drawing, cutting with a knife, using a toothbrush, hammer, scissors, and other utensils and tools. Participants also may be asked to rate their consistency of use on a scale with anywhere from 3 to 7 values (e.g., ‚always left‚aa, “usually left‚aa, ‚either‚aa, ‚causally right‚aa, ‚always right‚aa). There is usually a good association between measures of handedness obtained from these questionnaires and having individuals actually performed the tasks referred to in them
