S ummary . The aims of this study were (a) to investigate whether left‐handedness is related to intelligence, and (b) as a consequence of investigating the incidence of left‐handedness whether science can be classified as a one‐side of the brain activity. To test for the relationship between left‐handedness and intelligence, 800 fifth formers were given the Oldfield Handedness Inventory, as were a 1,000 sixth formers. The test was also given to 400 university science undergraduates. The results indicated (a) that left‐handedness did not appear to be a function of intelligence, (b) for males science could possibly be considered as a right‐hand side of the brain activity, and (c) for females science is possibly an across‐the‐brain activity
