If you're left-handed, your personality traits may include resiliency & independence. Here are a few fascinating facts about left-handed people, lefties, or Southpaws.
The personality traits of lefties are often confused with certain myths about left-handed people. For instance, people once believed that lefties or Southpaws were more likely to be dyslexic, schizophrenic, and stutterers. Some doctors believed that left-handed people are more likely to struggle with breast cancer, allergies, and asthma.
Those myths about left-handed people were debunked by Dr Michael Peters of the University of Guelph in 2006. However, some personality traits of left-handed people seem to hold true.
First, Some Left-Handed Statistics
About 10% of the world’s population is left-handed. There is a genetic component that determines right versus left-hand dominance, and it’s called the LRRTM1 gene. People with this gene are more likely to be lefties.
The speech centers of right-handers and most left-handers are in the left brain. The left brain focuses on syntax and order, while the right brain monitors context and emotions.
Some of us are “mixed-handed” people, which means both hands are used equally.
Psychological Characteristics of Left-handed People
Leadership. About 66% of American presidents in the last 30 years were left-handed men. Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Fold were all left-handed presidents. Barack Obama and John McCain are both left-handed.
Quick thinkers. Studies have shown that lefties are “exceptional.” Australian research shows that left-handed people think more quickly when playing computer games or sports. Left-handed people also tend to earn more money.
Sexuality. Research from Canada reveals this interesting quality of left-handed people: they’re more likely to be homosexual.
Mixed-handed people are more likely to alter their beliefs as they get new information, making them better able to see both sides of the story.
Personality Traits of Lefties
Independence: Some experts believe left-handed people are more independent because they’ve had to get along in a world that’s not made for them. Dr Peters says that lefties are “slightly more resistant to social pressures, to have more of an independent streak.”
Adaptability: Canadian research shows that left-handed people are more adaptable than right-handed people. That is, a lefty can use her right hand to do tasks much easier than a righty can use his hand. Left-handed people seem to be able to switch over more easily.
Generally, Southpaws are thought to be more flexible, highly intelligent, and more resilient than right-handed people.

Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen :
If your son or daughter is left-handed, you shouldn't try to change him or
her! It's a natural inclination, and should be left alone. Pun intended :-)

I write with my right hand. For most of my life. Then one day my dad tells
me when I started to learnt to write I held the pen in my left hand but he
would put it on the right. Which is really screwed up. I don't mind using
any hand but the ironic thing is that he's ambidextrous. Plus not all
lefties are homosexuals
So I'm still wondering how much would
that affect a person's personality- what is natural or what is conditioned.

I am a lefty, my mom is a lefty, her mom (my grandma) is a lefty and my dad
was a lefty until his school made him use his right hand. Making a child
change what comes natural is cruel. Due to my father's school changing his
dominant hand, his writing is terrible and illegible. I strongly recommend
you let your children progress naturally.
I completely agree
with Ms. Pawlik-Kienlen's article. I have migraines on a weekly basis and
so does my mother...we are also very independent as well. I suffer from
asthma and allergies. My mother was dyslexic as a child and I sometimes
find myself writing words backwards or reversing numbers.
I am
not a homosexual and most all of the left handed people I know are not
either. I don't believe this is a very accurate statistic.
5
out of the 18 people that I work with are left handed. It used to be split
evenly down the middle until our company began to grow. It seems as if
left handedness is becoming more common these days!
GO LEFTY'S!
P.S. The only drag about being left handed was all of the
desks in school are made for right handed people :(

When I was young, my mom tried to make me write with my right hand as well,
and it just doesn't work that well. You can do it, but there's honestly
nothing wrong with working with your left hand and I like that I have a
little quirk about me.
P.S. I still write with my left hand,
but I can throw, open doors, catch, etc. with my right.

If any parent is thinking of changing their childs handedness - don't!!!
I discovered a few years ago that I was conditioned to write with
my right hand as a child. Despite my right side being the dominant one for
over 25 years, I've still managed to hold true to many of the lefty traits
described above, however I'm not homosexual and don't have the medical
issues.
The problem the conditioning may have caused for me, is
that I've never been able to trust my own thinking - I feel it may be due
to me being told as a child, that what come naturally to me (left
handedness) was actully wrong! Without understanding why, I've always
needed approval from others to ensure what I was doing what actually the
right thing - in terms of school work and personal decisions.
Take it from me, if you don't want to mess your child's future up - leave
them as they are when it comes to handedness! Some of my most intelligent
friends are left handed, and I bet I'd have had a happier mindset if I had
been left to be a lefty. Plus your child will only blame you for their
struggles later in life when they discover you caused them to be anything
other than who they truely were meant to be.

Did you ever notice how that almost universal comment of left handers is
one of two things. Usually they were "made" to write right
handed. Just like some children were "made" to practice the
piano or whatever. If a child is "made" to do anything, it most
often does not effectively work and resistance sets in that often takes the
form of doing what they perceive to be the opposite. "Writing right
handed is not GENETIC. I doubt seriously that genes even know what
"writing is". We write right handed because it is much easier,
given that most flowing writing [unlike chinese block characters and greek
symbols] is arbitrarily done left to right on a page. Has anyone who grew
up in a normal effective way, ever changed as a adult from right hand
righting to left handed? Right handed people could write with their left
hand. It just takes practice, either way. To believe that left handed
people are either more intelligent or "homosexual" is has not
basis in reality that I have heard. No one is "universally
intelligent". Intelligence is simply a standard of those that choose
to cater to the testing and grading system of our higher educational
institutions which is over whelminly just a matter of memorizing and giving
back to the teacher what they expect. Do that and you are smart. Tell
them something else and you are dumb. In fact many who would call
themselves "intelligent" are incredably inadept at many things.
Does that make them dumb? Homosexuality is simply a personal declaration.
Let's assume one might become attracted sexually to a particular person of
the same sex, even tho obviously from a sexual point of view not how humans
were made to have children. No one, however, has ever given a reason why
one would make an advance decision to arbitrarily exclude having a sexual
relationship with anyone of the other sex, that we were obviously designed
to do.

I'm left handed and there is nothing wrong with it. People need to stop
changing their kids natural ablilities. if you think being left handed is
the "sign of the Devil" then you are dead wrong. It's very
frustrating for me to write legibly with a pen or marker and people would
keep staring at me if i say i'm left handed. it's not a disease! and i wish
everyone would stop trying to descriminate against left handers.

I am left-handed and I'm also an Aquarian. I guess that makes me extra
independent, since independence is also supposed to be a personality trait
of Aquarius. In all actuality, I am very independent. I happen to be
homosexual too, but I have known many heterosexual southpaws. I can't
understand how sexuality can be based on being left-handed, or
right-handed.

lefties have been given a bad name (sinister ,evil devil servers, clumsey

ourselves.

I'm Left-handed as well. And am not a homosexual, but I am a Prefect
holding a post of Head of Committee and other activities that i am in
charge of...So i guess the part about being a leader is true. And am
academically top in class, is that part of being a left-hander? I do not
know as i don't study for test. I just memorized what the teacher has
said.And i have a friend who was forced to write with her right hand when
young and is very confused in most of the things she does and always
ponder, but mostly she acts dumb or maybe is...Could this be a result to
switching hand?

I am a leftie and fit almost all the above, including the "gay"
relativity issue. I saw so many here write that they are lefties but NOT
GAY (in caps) and so I want to say that although the article says that
many lefties are gay, it does not say the majority, so please do not get
all in a snit about others assuming that if you are a leftie, then you must
be gay. I do believe that the anount of gay people who are lefties is
higher than the percentage of str8 people, but again, not the majority. If
lefties are 10% of the population and homosexuals make up 10% of the
population, then it would seem that even if gay people are lefties, then
about 10% - 20% of lefties would be gay, and vise versa. No person fits all
the above criteria. I fit most. Am resilient, a leader when given the
chance, emotional, thoughtful (in that I give thought to things before
doing them), etc. I am, also, however, more sensitive, not always a good
thing and although I may recover quickly from the emotional battering ram,
I also feel that ram so much more than many! As far as EVER teaching one's
kid to do or be something that it is not natural, DO NOT DO IT! I have a
cousin whose dad made her right with her right hand and man is she wacked!
She learned other ways to emote and they are annoying and loud. I have many
friends who went to Catholic School and were made, even in the 70's, to
have their left hand tied behind their backs so they write and do all
things with the right hand, and they all say they have many problems that
most do not, and one sees these problems. Lefties have had to be stronger,
resilient because, as it says, we were made to be more flexible in delaing
with things, as small as they may sound, from an early age, like; writing,
sitting at desks made for righties, scissors made for righties, knives
curved for righties, etc. A world for righties. This also may explain the
gay issue as gay people have had to deal with a lot of crap and most stick
with it, as we had to stick with being leftie. I don't know, but there must
be a connection, there. Again, though, never change what is coming
naturally to you, ar your kids, as the damage will appear eventually and
manifest itself in ways that you might not even be able to imagine! Peace!

A really interesting article. I'm left handed. My early schooling was in
Northern Ireland. I remember my mum teling me that she had to go into my
infant school because they were trying to make me write with my right hand
(I'm 45). She was opposed to this. What is interesting though, is that
although I am left handed, I play golf and hold a cricket bat right handed.
However when I bowl a ball or hold a single sporting implement, I hold it
left handed. Furthermore, when I text on my phone, I do it right handed. I
hold a telephone in my right hand. Do I buck the trend or are others like
me? What I would like is some more information from Laurie. Does the
dominant eye make a difference. I always close my left eye and look with my
right if I have to. Is this significant? I'm not gay but I do have a slight
speech impediment - this, I have read, is more frequent in left handed
boys.
Jul 21, 2009 3:26 PM
Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen :
Interesting -- it almost sounds like you're ambidextrous! But, I'm afraid
I know nothing about why one side dominates certain things, but not others.
I'm not sure if that's been researched.
Sorry I can't be more
helpful....but if I do come across any information about this, I'll post it
here.

Im a lefty! and i love it! I always feel so special :) both of my parents
are righties and as is my brother. I found out about 3 years ago that
nobody makes a left handed field hockey stick, there just arent any! But my
field hockey coach (who i barely tolerate) says that you actualy play field
hockey left handed. I didnt think this was right for some reason. could you
help me understand this?
Jul 22, 2009 9:53 AM
Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen :
Here's what Wikipedia says about field hockey:
"Left-handed
sticks are rare, but available; however they are pointless as the rules
forbid their use in a game."
I'm not sure why this is so;
you'd have to research the rules of field hockey to learn more!
Thanks for bringing this up -- I had no idea. Lefties are sure affected
by lots of things in life, huh?

I am left handed male and I am not homosexual. I can say my parents year

right hander person. I can also say that growing up as a child I did learn
things alot faster than most kids. I am in college now and I can respond to
my professor questions alot faster than the majority of the class.

I do not see how being homosexual has anything to do wtih being a lefty.
There is just a larger population of the right-handed people in the world
compared to the left-handed population. I think that making this connection
is not an accurate connection, whether your homosexual or heterosexual,
it's your choice, it's not part of your genetics that chooses this. I'm not homosexual, and i don't think that some of these connections make
since. Yeah, a lot of us have problems with allergies and such but I
believe that there is no true connection with this and being a lefty.

little girl probably 4 or 5 years,my dad tried to make me write and eat
with my right hand but i couldn't so i started to cry,my dad started
laughing at me and he said use whatever hand that you like... i really
just dont get it!!! inno why parents prefer their kids to write and use
their right hand instead of the left one...inno what is the thing that is
SPECIAL with the right hand.... U should leave your kids to be
whatever they wanna grow up to be...Not force them to be what You want them
to be just coz you think that is better... Personaly, Am a Medical
Lab. Technologist, a Science Teacher,and Am studying Physcology sooo I
totaly agree that left handed people are SMARTER and that all the Traits
written above are true except for the homosexuality thing ana i didn't like
that one :S I feel special that few out there are lefty ;) i hope that
one day my future kids will turned up to be lefty just like me... PEACE FROM BEIRUT,LEBANON

there a way of changing this?
Aug 26, 2009 6:17 AM
Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen :
Hi,
The only way to make your left hand stronger is to use it!
So, you just have to start practicing doing stuff with your left hand,
instead of your right one.
It'll take time, but one day your
leftie will outperform your rightie :-)

I am also left handed! I am not gay but i believe i have some of the
characteristick shown above. I've never been seriously sick , maybe
catch a cold once or twice a year, talented in all sports except
football.. Also i think i am more independant than most of the
teenagers my age , in the end i love living alone without parents , not
because i dont love them , but because i like having my freedom! My
writing looks disgusting :D It could be related to being lefthanded
that i seem to add more thinking to what i am doing and what others are
doing . I believe that i am lazy for studying just as a
characteristic of my personality . I've always been more lucid , having
hilarious ideas and in my surrounding it seems that its only me who can
think of funny things - as we know having a good sence of humour means
having a great intelligence! i really dont remember when someone
managed to really make me laugh with his talk..not with him being stupid!
:D Also it seems its only me between people who i know that is not
lazy for doing stuff except studying - i am always for action , but right
handed people i know are to lazy to do anything that they didnt plan .. Also i noticed that i am the only one between my agers who knows how to
cook , iron , fix things , only one who knows more than two languages ,
only one who wakes up in a second and makes all the others wake up . Also i am the only one who can draw and paint . When i got my first (and
last job for now because of college duties) in a high class clothing store
i was excepted as the youngest person who aplied for the job because with
my talk i made them think i was the right person and when i got the job i
got some tutoring from older staff and they told me that i learned stuff in
2 days that others learn in months ..
i cant remember anything
else about me that is not usual :D but i like being left handed !

I happen to be a gay lefty and match up with everything else on here, big
surprise considering my personality type (myers-briggs) is an INTJ. For all
those saying the bit about the gay-lefty statistic do remember that lefties
are ~10% of the population and homosexuals are ~10% of the population. Even
if it's more common both are small groups. It never said majority just
happens to be more likely. Also to the lady asking about her daughter it
mentioned above that left-handedness is a result of a genetic/biological
trait, it's natural don't hinder it.

does anybody know if left handedness is lanked to a certain side of the
brain being more dominant than the other?
Sep 16, 2009 3:40 PM
Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen :
Great question! Here’s what the International Children’s Education website
says about left-handed people and brain dominance:
“The human
brain has two cerebral hemispheres, the left and the right. The left
hemisphere processes things more in parts and sequentially, and is the
center for language, science, mathematics, and logic. This left side of the
brain is usually dominant, and because the left side of the brain controls
the right side of the body, these individuals are right-handed.
The right side of the brain synthesizes and is a source of dreams,
fantasies, art, music, and feeling. In left-handed individuals the right
side of the brain is dominant (and thus they are left-handed). Almost half
of left-handers use their right hemisphere for language. In some
left-handed people though, writing may be controlled completely and
independently from the right hemisphere of the brain.”
So,
lefties are dominated by the right side of the brain.

I'm left handed I never figured out how other left handed behind like
twisted there whole wrist around to write i just rub my hand over what i
already wrote usually ends up smudged and my hand gets as EEEWWW if i use
pencil. But i don't usually have to read what i write so works for me. I
don't think lefties have any real problem when it comes to reading or
writing we just think to fast and end up running our selves over in the
process

It's very funny reading the comments. I'm a lefty and straight.
Don't quite agree with the facts on lefties are mostly gay. Does this
mean, out of the 66% of the lefties America's President, more than 50% of
them are gay?

Hi,
No, I don’t think the lefty stats are quite that
straightforward. The research on lefties above simply states that
left-handed people may be more likely to be homosexual….that doesn’t mean
50% of them are! And, that’s just one study.

I'm also a lefty, and they all seem true. Except im not a homosexual, but
who knows im young, that could change? hahaha. Same thing for all the other
lefties saying 'im not homosexual!'

I m lefty,but It is true, I can learn to work by right hand easily,I can
adopt fast.I think decesion power is an advantage to be lefty.When young,
was writing by left hand,but forced by teacher/parents towrite by right
hand,now I can write by both hand. Interesting thing is , some university
offeres scholarship to lefty for education. kcmakwana@rediffmail.com. kcmakwana

I'm a lefty, and I don't really find myself to be smarter than a right
handed person. I am also not a fast thinker, but I must say that I am
independent and creative.

I'm a lefty. I am highly intelligent and have succeeded very well in school
(got a masters in Chemical Engineering). I have allergies (dustmites,
urticaria and cat). I've been diagnosed to be asthmatic. I am NOT
Homosexual. As a little kid, I often fall sick (auto-immune weakness). I am
also very independent and sensitively emotional.
