Poll related to handedness between physics, mathematics and chemistry people

In summary, there is a higher proportion of left-handed individuals in the PF community compared to the general population. Out of a sample of 41 individuals, 10 were left-handed, suggesting a population mean of 24 ± 7%. This is statistically significant, indicating that left-handedness may be more prevalent among individuals in the fields of physics, mathematics, and chemistry.

If we're proposing new features, then I think it would be great to be able to ask questions to all PF users(those already registered). One could implement this by asking everyone who hasn't been asked the question when they log in.

Well, since I just recently finished my first year of university, I guess I am now qualified to vote on this poll xD. I'm a physics major and I write exclusively with my right hand as far as I can tell :)

I am now doing a physics MSc, typically write with the RH but if something has happened to it or I'm using it for eating etc writing with my LH instead isn't too difficult. I actually used my LF when I first started to learn to write but my primary school teacher made me switch because writing chinese characters really is easier with RH.

Right hand. There's no option for high school students, but I don't care, so I voted as a college student anyway.

Electrical, I don't use left or right hand to write. I have a third one for that.
