INTRODUCTION Handedness is still a big question in worldwide for normal society. There are some questions in the mind of common people that, why a person is left hander or a right hander? What are the factors responsible for it? What is Handedness? And who is more intellectual between Left hander and Right hander? So it is research worthy to compare between the intellectual ability of Left hander and right hander. Handedness is defined and categorized in different ways. Most people define handedness as the hand that one uses for writing. Some researchers define handedness as the hand that is faster and more precise for manual tasks. Others define it as the preferred hand, regardless of its abilities. Whereas some people always use their right hand or their left hand for most activities, others use one hand or the other depending on the activity. Still other people can use either hand for most functions. Left- handed children usually are more flexible in their hand usage than right-handers; this may be because they are forced to function in a world designed for right-handers. There is no standard measure for determining degrees of handedness. Some scientists believe that there are only two types of handedness: right and non-right. These researchers believe that true left-handedness is rare and that most lefthanders are really mixed-handed. Others believe that ambidexterity. The finding of most of the researcher shows that the 90% population does most of their daily work with the help of right hand and rest 10% population does most of their daily work with the help of left hand. Due to this, Right handed population is in majority and left handed population is in the minority. Manufacturers always manufacture goods as per the mode of the population and most of the things are manufactured only for the Right handers and left handers are bound to use them. For e.g. if the door handles are on the wrong side, buttons of the shirts are opposite side than usual, speed control of scooter and motorcycle are opposite side, the can opener and Copyright Š 2017, Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies
