Is a Leftie More Likely to Be a Math Genius?

Left-handed Barack Obama signs an order. (WHITE HOUSE)
Most humans are right-handed. Only about 10% of us are lefties. That’s why we’re so often at odds with the way the world is set up. In school, while everyone else slants their writing to the right, we tilt the other way; in English-speaking cultures, our pages are smudged after we drag our writing hands across freshly inked text. We won’t even talk about scissors. Playing an instrument requires special instruction — think Jimi Hendrix, who played a left-handed guitar — or capitulation — Paul McCartney plays right-handed, upside-down.
