Myths About Lefties From History That Definitely Aren't True

Myth: Lefties are more intelligent

There’s an idea that left-handed people are more intelligent, but that’s not so,” says Dr. Ochoa. Anyone can be intelligent, especially if you have these quirky habits proven to make you smarter. A study from the 70s examined more than 7,000 grade school children and found no difference in intellectual ability between left-handers and right-handers, she said. Lefties may, however, think differently.
