WAYS LEFTIES ARE BETTER THAN RIGHTIES
Added on: 13th Nov 2015
GENERALLY SMARTER
Though only about 10% of the population are left-handed,
20% of MENSA members are left-handed.
QUICKER INFORMATION PROCESSING
By using both sides of their brain more often, left-handed people
can process more information than the more commonly
occurring righties.
FASTER RECOVERY TIMES
Lefties have been found to recover faster from strokes
affecting one part of their brain since they often
have to use both parts in a right-centric world.
MORE ARTISTIC
Left-handed people tend to be better at artistic pursuits. Did you know
that Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Leonardo da Vinci were all lefties?
BETTER SPORTS PLAYERS
In sports as diverse as boxing, tennis, and baseball, left-handed
people perform better than their right-handed counterparts.
It’s not entirely known why, but it could be due to other players
having less practice dealing with their moves.
BETTER MEMORY
Not specific to only lefties but to those who come from largely
left-handed families, some people have better episodic memory
(the ability to remember events) better than righties.
MULTITASKING
Since a left-handed person’s brain thinks more quickly, they can
handle more tasks at once.
SHORTER WAITING TIMES
Lefties tend to go to lines along with their dominant hand (left) which
is often times shorter than the right line.
A DEDICATED HOLIDAY
Yes, there’s even a day to celebrate lefties. International Lefthanders
Day falls on August 13th every year.
