Left-handedness and SAT/ACT scores

<p>Hello lefties out there. If both of your hands are normal and you are a lefty, please list your SAT or ACT scores like this: m720-r780 or m36-r31. What would the pattern be?</p>

<p>Do you know that among the last 5 US presidents 4 are lefties, and both McCain and Obama are left-handed? Interesting, isn’t it?</p>

<p>I have a deep, embedded hatred for left-handed people. </p>

<p>My boyfriend, the love of my life, is left-handed and got a 2290; R700-M790-W800. He retook this month, going for 750+ in CR.</p>

<p>Twenty or more years ago, I read that the difference in math scores between males and females disappeared when the females were left-handed.</p>

<p>I’m left handed…but i won’t have SAT scores until thursday</p>

<p>i use both hands but…
m-750 cr-740 w-770</p>

<p>S is lefthanded: m: 770 cr: 800</p>

<p>CC is hardly the right place to look for a correlation between SAT scores and left-handedness. Everyone here has a high score.</p>

<p>Obviously that correlation is not what I look for. As long as your scores are not 800-800 or 36-36, you are covered.</p>

<p>I was born left handed…but my mom made my switch early (writing). I still do stuff like using scissors and forks with my left hand though.
never taken the SAT…really nervous about it too…</p>

<p>^Parents still do that? I decided one day in 8th grade history class that I was going to take my notes with my right hand because my teacher was being slower than molasses. Since then, I’ve done it quite often. In some cases, my right-handed writing has turned out better than my left-handed writing, depending on my mood.</p>

<p>cr720, m680, w710</p>

<p>e33, m31, r36, s28</p>

<p>Left-handedness doesn’t fix attention span issues.</p>

<p>i don’t think anyone can beat my story.</p>

<p>when i was younger around kindergarten/first grade, i went to a Catholic School where I was the only kid who wrote with a left hand. There was this one really old-school sister who believed that left-handedness=devil, so she would always force me to write with my right hand. I of course went along with it because being the only one who wrote with her left hand I thought I was a freak!! By the time my parents realized what had happened, i had become…a rightie!! Lol, anyway years later i’ve gotten back into the groove with my left hand, especially when my right hand gets tired from taking notes.</p>

<p>I know a guy who might be left-handed got m690-r680.</p>

<p>I suppose you’re going for the “dominant left hand implies dominant right brain implies better ‘right-brain’ skills such as reading than ‘left-brain’ logical skills like math”? I know that this isn’t the case with my boyfriend, but let’s see how the thread supports this: </p>

<p>R700-M790
R740-M750 (ambi)
R800-M770
R720-M680
R36-M31
R680-M690 (maybe lh)</p>

<p>Hmm. Actually, so far, the numbers do seem to support stronger reading skills for left-handed people.</p>

<p>Not so fast. I have an update. My Subject Tests scores came out today, and I had a 600 on Lit and a 730 on Math 2. Good luck deciphering that.</p>

<p>Not sure where this might lead us to. But our brain might be the new ‘Wild West’. The difference between left- and right-handedness may show in their SAT/ACt scores. When we have enough records, we’ll see. So far I trust the listed scores.</p>
