Lefties are smarter than righties, sort of.

What’s the difference between right and left handed people?
 
 More than you might think. Social scientists have been studying them both and discovered which have the upper hand:

• Lefties may be more at risk for learning disabilities than righties with higher rates of dyslexia, ADHD and mood disorders.

• Lefties are better at divergent thinking, which make them good candidates for politics and chess players.

• Lefties tend to be better at baseball too because they’re a few steps closer to first base with better momentum after the swing. Southpaw boxers and tennis players may have the upper hand as well.

• Righties make more money than lefties. That’s because they’re more likely to complete college and tend to score higher on math and reading comprehension tests.
