I'm left handed. It is said that left handed people would have a harder time using objects that are mostly made for right handed people, i never noticed this unusual claim but i do use a right handed scissors w/o any problem.
Lefties.
Mensa [an organization for people with high IQs] claims 20 percent of its members are left-handed, while statistics show that there are more sinistral people with highest IQ scores than right-handed people. This was proven by the research of doctor Alan Searleman of the St. Lawrence University in New York, showing that left-handed people are intellectually advanced in most cases, as well as that they have more developed language skills than right-handed people do. Perhaps this is the reason why left-handed people are more dominant in creative professions.
Unusual facts
Most left-handed people face the right side when writing or drawing. Stuttering and dyslexia are more common in left-handed people and they easily adjust to watching under water. They excel in sports like tennis (famous Croatian Wimbledon winner Goran Ivanisevic for instance), baseball and swimming. Scientists have discovered that sinistral people reach puberty four to five months earlier than right-handers.
Four out of five original Macintosh computer designers were left-handed, as well as twenty five percent of Apollo astronauts. However, research has shown that left-handed people live significantly shorter than right-handed people, perhaps the reason why is the fact they live in a “right-orientated†world.
[I actually do enjoy swimming, tennis, and baseball, a lot, i played most of them at school.]
Righties.
There is no prevailing theory that explains why right-handedness is so much more common than left-handedness. Neurologically, the motor skills of the right side of the body are controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain, so researchers believe the explanation may ultimately be found in the differences between the two halves of the brain. For example, a recent study found that right-handers use the right side of the brain to focus on an entire image, but the left side of the brain to focus on details within an image. This observed difference, like many others, shows the effects of right-handedness but does not clearly indicate its cause.
Unusual Facts.
Right handed people live about 9 years longer than left handed people. The left hemisphere of the brain allows right handers to have a more linear sense of thinking. They are good with mathematics, language, science skills and logic.
So which one are you?
