How To Tell If Someone Is Left-Handed By Their Handwriting?

About 10% of the total population are left-handed. While it is not always possible to tell if the handwriting is of a left-handed person or a right-handed person, there are certain hacks that can help you differentiate the two.

Look for the slants in the handwriting: A right-handed person writes in a forward slant whereas a left-handed person writes in a backward slant.

Look for smudged ink: Left-handed people write by turning their wrist into a claw. This is known as backhand. It causes the ink to get smudged since the wrist keeps touching the freshly written text.

Check for these points when you see a new handwriting next and guess the person’s dominant hand usage.
