And what it could say about your personality.
Left-handed people didn’t always have it in easy this world. In the past, they were labeled as evil, considered to be witches, and the word sinister comes from the Latin word for “left” as in left handed. As TIME magazine wrote back in 1969, even “the Devil himself was considered a southpaw, and he and other evil spirits were always conjured up by left-handed gestures.” All this despite the fact that left-handed people make up a good 10% of the population.
While left-handed scissors and desks and more thoughtful psychiatrists have been making the lives of lefties a bit easier—and at least they aren’t accused of witchcraft every time they write with their left hands—myths about them persist.Myth: People are born left-handed when mothers are stressed during pregnancyScientists are still trying to figure out exactly why some people prefer one hand or the other.
Myth: Left-handed people are more likely to have introverted personalities.While you may know a few left-handed introverts, you probably know a few right-handed ones, too. The science on this is split, while a recent study found that being left- or right-handed did not have any relationship to personality. While another study found that lefties tend to be shyer and more easily embarrassed.
Myth: Left-handed people are more creative.That might be true. While no one is quite sure of the exact reason, a Stanford study found that those with a dominant left hand are better at"divergent thinking." There are a large number of artists, architects, musicians, who are left-handed, a New Yorker article points out.
