Topic - Left Handed Characteristics.  Let’s face it.  It’s a right-handed world!  

10% of people are left-handed and being left-handed is only partly due to genetics.  

If mother is exposed to extreme stress during pregnancy, the child is likely to be left-handed.  Babies who are born to older mothers or have lower birth weights are likely to be left-handed.  

There is no difference in IQs, but lefties are better at divergent thinking which is where you start problem-solving from existing knowledge and create new concepts.  

They are more creative than us righties!  Lefties’ salaries are 10% lower than righties and they run a greater risk of psychiatric disorders.  

Fully 20% of schizophrenics are left-handed.  Lefties are unique and celebrated.  

August 13 is International Left-Handers Day!  I wonder what Prince William, Angelina Jolie and Robert DeNiro do on left-handers’ day to celebrate!
