Annett手偏好问卷（AHPQ）的样本352随机选择的个人从一般社区检查其利手分类的再现性，并评估其基于模型的可靠性和收敛效度。潜在的类分析表明，这八类手的偏好不能证明统计的理由。相反，三个广泛的利手类充分容纳了各种利手模式：“一致的权利”（66.0%），“一致的左”（9.8%）和“不一致或混合”（24.2%）。验证性因素分析不仅表明AHPQ具有较好的信度和收敛效度，而且还表明AHPQ的测量特性可以通过剔除部分条目而得到进一步改善。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，并建议，问卷需要修改，可能是通过取代过时的项目，如“扫”和“铲”与现代的手动活动，如“键入短信”和“使用遥控器”。
The Annett Hand Preference Questionnaire (AHPQ) was administered to a sample of 352 randomly selected individuals from the general community to examine the reproducibility of its handedness classification and to evaluate its model-based reliability and convergent validity. Latent class analysis showed that the eight categories of hand preferences could not be justified on statistical grounds. Instead, three broad handedness classes adequately accommodated the variety of handedness patterns: 'consistent right' (66.0%), 'consistent left' (9.8%) and 'inconsistent or mixed' (24.2%). Confirmatory factor analysis not only showed that the AHPQ is reliable and has solid convergent validity, but also the measurement properties of the AHPQ could be further improved by eliminating a few items from the scale. The implications of these findings are discussed, and it is suggested that questionnaire requires modification, possibly by replacing obsolete items such as 'sweeping' and 'shovelling' with modern manual activities, such as 'typing SMS messages' and 'using a remote control'.
