Molecular chirality has traditionally been viewed as a binary property wherea molecule is classified as either chiral or achiral, yet in the recent decadesmathematical methods for quantifying chirality have been explored. Here we usetoy molecular systems to systematically compare the performance of two state ofthe art chirality measures (1) the Continuous Chirality Measure (CCM) and (2)the Chirality Characteristic ($\chi$). We find that both methods exhibitqualitatively similar behavior when applied to simple molecular systems such asa four-site molecule or the polymer double-helix, but we show that the CCM maybe more suitable for evaluating the chirality of arbitrary molecules orabstract structures such as normal vibrational modes. We discuss a range ofconsiderations for applying these methods to molecular systems in general, andwe provide links to user-friendly codes for both methods. We aim this paper toserve as a concise resource for scientists attempting to familiarize themselveswith these chirality measures or attempting to implement chirality measures intheir own work.
