The good news: There's no reason to think left/right confusion is related to IQ. The not-so-good news: It may be related to bad handwriting, difficulties with math, dyslexia and schizophrenia. But hey . . .

Neuroscience for Kids is a Web site created by Chudler eight years ago "for anyone interested in how the brain works." The site includes brainteasers, including one that records how fast you can tell whether pictures of hands are pointing up/down vs. left/right. Chudler says 95 percent of the 3,719 people who tried his test reported more difficulty with left/right than with up/down.
