Left-handed

People who are left-handed are more dextrous with their left hand than with their right hand: they will probably also use their left hand for tasks such as personal care, cooking, and so on. Writing is not as good an indicator of handedness as it might seem, because many people who write with their right hand use their left for everything else.

Left-handedness and intelligence

A common belief exists to suggest that left-handed people are more intelligent or creative than right-handed people; yet the theory is largely unfounded. However, IQ results in right-handed test subjects have demonstrated an even distribution throughout a given population, whilst left-handed test subjects cluster at the extreme ends of the intelligence scale.
