Default Left-handed people make more money?

So apparently that's true, at least for men (I know, how sexist)

I was watching this interesting show on National Geographic last night where they got these right handed people to try to do everything with their left hand. I always intended to try the same sometimes, trying to write or draw with my left hand, thinking in no time I'd be ambidextrous... not so much.

But it worked for these folks, and not only that, it increased their right hand dexterity as well.

You're not only left-right hand dominant, but also eye, leg, and even brain.

A little test i learned about to determine which brain-hemisphere is dominant, clasp your hands with thumbs over top of each other. If your left thumb is more comfortable on top, you're right brained and vice-versa.

Looks like sally made one too?


Well you forgot the most important of all categories "Aspiring Ambidextrous"

(jk)

Everyone should try the brain test, and state their brain dominance. I'm brain dominant.

well im a lefty and its a good thing in sports cause it gives you an advantage as most people play with other right handers and aren't used to you being left handed.

i do remember when i was young i used to eat with my left hand till some kids at my Islamic school semi made fun of me...i then learned how to eat correctly with my right hand. good times!

Damn Vari, what is up with you and all these stereotype related threads?

I'm righty and my husband is lefty...does that mean our kids will have a 50/50 chance of being either?

Randomness: I usually don't like the handwriting of those who are left-handed. It's very small and messy looking. Maybe because the letters were created by a left-handed person and therefore are not lefty friendly?

I'm not a leftie, but oftentimes I find it easier to catch things with my left hand.

And sometimes I eat with my left hand. I know you're not supposed to, but like sometimes I'm multitasking and I write with my right hand, so have to eat with the left..

It wasn't a stereotype... it was a full on study done.
