and studying the public opinion in relation to the handedness. This
would contribute to learning biopsychology and study in the case of
Kazakhstani people.
In this study, the primary and secondary research was conducted
to collect the data about handedness, followed after careful study of
secondary resources where the attention was paid to reliability of the
information. Based on the careful study of secondary research and found
features was created a table of the most common abilities found both
in lefties and righties. In total 28 features was collected and adapted to
survey tool.
Mixed methods were used to strengthen the overall quality of the
research and to increase confidence of the results. The background
research was supported to collect information about left and right
handedness from different sources. The secondary research was done
by available and reliable internet article sources. The semi-structured
interview was taken to get more detailed information and some answers
concerning the experience of psychology specialists.
As a result, there were surveyed 48 respondents which male and
females had the equal sample size. About 60 % of respondents claimed
themselves as righties (60,42 %) and 41 % are lefties. Interestingly a
small number of them (12 people) prefer study humanities, while others
more interested in natural and exact science, which more than half of
them are good at math and a few number is gifted in geometry. As of to
consider the psychological state, the large number of respondents consider
themselves as realists (53,22 %) and 34,04 % are dreamers (Table 1).

Summarizing the all given data can be identified abilities belonging
to the handedness type. The results show that left-handed or right-brained
people have higher abilities in analysis, logic, sequencing, creativity,
imagination, arts, rhythm, non -verbal expression, expressing feelings,
having a firm memory capacity, daydreaming, and exact sciences. In
addition, right-handers have own features in their life, too. There are
remembering words of songs, thinking in words, mathematics, language
and computation, holistic thinking, high qualitative intuition, they are
realists and good at natural, exact and humanitarian Sciences. In some
cases, left and right-handers are similar. For instance, Exact Sciences
are belonging to both of them.
They differentiate with lots of features in behavior, too. Left-
handed people are also angry and curious and prevails some egoistic
characteristics at the same time. They always use gestures in daily life.
Moreover, they think not the same as others, they do it better but it takes
long time. However, in this case, right-handers are linear and they prefer
velocity. They have higher opportunities when they impress opinions,
views and perspectives one by one, that is, alternately. For that reason,
we can state that handedness can determine lots of unusual and usual
thing of individuals’ characteristics, behavior, abilities and features
in any sphere. For left-handers, it is difficult to live in the world of
right-handers, that is why they are more able to deal with problems and
survive with own power and confidence [5]. Lefties are forced to adapt
and are accustomed to this, therefore, as a result, it is better and faster
than right-handers to find a way out or what they need, they adapt to
any conditions - left-handed people have to do this from childhood and
then do not cause any special problems.
In an interview with a psychologist, it was revealed that left-handed
people have some distinctive features. This is expressed in the manner of
human behavior, in creativity and in sport. They possess ability that most
people do not have. Right-handers are closer to natural sciences, while
left-handed people are more creative individuals. They are closer to the
liking of social science subjects. According to the school psychologist,
there are people who use the right and left hand equally. This indicates
