If a great many data values closer to the left of a data distribution which then tails off to the right the distribution is referred to as?

If one tail is longer than another, the distribution is skewed. These distributions are sometimes called asymmetric or asymmetrical distributions as they don’t show any kind of symmetry.

A left-skewed distribution has more values on the left of the distribution.
