Right Handed People Vs Left Handed People

On this Post, I am putting together some statistics of Right Handed People Vs Left Handed People. Since I am not a scientist, doctor I am merely putting information here that I've gathered from around the Internet. If you find any of this information out of date or simply wrong, let me know and I'll do my best to update it.

Let's start with Left Handed People. I'll start with the negatives. Left Handed people are more likely to have the more of the following attributes than Right Handed People.

  1. Schizophrenic
  2. Alcoholic
  3. Delinquent (Prone To Violent Behaviour)
  4. Dyslexic
  5. Crohn's disease
  6. Ulcerative colitis
  7. Mental disabilities
  8. Die Younger
  9. More Accident Prone
Although there aren't many positive attributes to being a lefty over a right handed person, here are the examples I've found. Left Handed People tend to be/have more than Right Handed People:

  1. Higher IQ
  2. Better At Self Defence
That's it for the benefits of being a left handed person, but not too bad. Some famous left handed people include Albert Einstein to Isaac Newton to Benjamin Franklin.

Scientist theorize that about 50% of all left handed people have had some form of trauma during gestation or during birth. Women who have children over 40 are 128 percent more likely to have a left handed child than a 20 year old woman.

These are all very interesting observations and something worth thinking about. Thanks for reading my Right Handed Blog.
