There&#x27;s a standard test for this: The O&#x27;Connor Tweezer Dexterity Test.[1] There&#x27;s a board with small holes, a supply of metal pins, and a tweezer for putting pins in the holes. It&#x27;s overpriced, because it&#x27;s &quot;medical&quot;.<p>Some electronics assembly plants use such a test to screen new hires.<p>Tweezer dexterity improves with practice. Hands are more precise than vision. Looking through a microscope, you can position something within a thousandth of an inch with tweezers. This is familiar to anyone who&#x27;s placed surface mount parts on a board by hand.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;s?k=tweezer+dexterity+test" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;s?k=tweezer+dexterity+test</a>

The study appears to omit handedness as a potential factor influencing performance.

Gut reaction to the results: swearing because you feel you should have got it, and frustration because you feel it&#x27;s too hard.

I still think surgeons should offer shaves.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Barber_surgeon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Barber_surgeon</a>

&gt; Implementation of a surgical swear jar initiative<p>Yes, the main goal of a surgical site is to avoid swearing<p>&gt; our findings are not applicable to children younger than 4 years for whom the buzz wire game’s small parts may represent a choking hazard, although these individuals are unlikely to be currently employed in secondary care.<p>Now, that&#x27;s a point. I&#x27;d avoid a 0-3 toddler if i could choose so before some surgery.
