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.
