Are left handers better at typing?

Because a large majority of words on the qwerty keyboard are typed solely with the left hand (around 3,000 words with the left hand, but only about 400 with the right), left handers are likely to be faster typers since they’re using their dominant hand.

What challenges do left-handed people face?

Here are some of the struggles lefties face in day-to-day life:

• Finding a comfortable desk position.
• Handling household equipment and devices.
• Using public transport.
• Elbow wars and being pushed to the far left.
• Measuring cups, tapes, rulers — all favour the righties.

Is it harder for lefties to write?

Left handed writing is hard. Lefties have to push the pen away from their hand while simultaneously creating legible loops and slants, crossing ‘t’s and dotting ‘i’s. Pushing means it’s more likely that the pen tip skips and the line gets broken.

Do left-handed people write slower?

Left handed people face a lot of difficulties in everyday life. Teaching left handed people to write the same way as right handed people can make handwriting slow, uncomfortable and messy. This can be a hindrance throughout adult life if not taught correctly as a child.

What’s so special about left-handers?

Left-handers use the right side of the brain more. The human brain is cross-wired — its right half controls the left side of the body and vice versa. Hence, left-handers use their right side of the brain more than right-handed people do. Left-handers recover quicker after a stroke.

Do left-handed children learn differently?

Lefties think differently. The left side of the brain—which controls the right hand—is in charge of speech, language, writing, logic, math and science. Meanwhile, left-handers’ brains tend to be more flexible—understanding of music could be on the left side or math could be on the right.

Are left-handers smart?

While there are curious differences between lefties and righties, a higher intelligence level probably isn’t one of them. Many studies show mixed results when examining this complicated link, leading researchers to conclude that left-handed people are no smarter than their right-handed counterparts.
