Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman share an interesting feature that goes beyond their success in the entertainment world: they all manifest the predominance of the left hand. Keep reading and discover the advantages you have if you are left handed.

On average, only one in ten people is left-handed; and although certain prejudices denoted them as "people of evil" in past centuries, the truth is that they tend to excel in very competitive areas.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING A recent study published on the Indy100 portal explains that this preference for using the left hand is associated with mathematical and spatial skills. "This is because that group of people has more developed the right hemisphere of the brain, which results in higher levels of attention as well as abstract reasoning." This is summarized by experts from LFL Science.

Similarly, they have a thicker corpus callosum - the structure that joins the two sides of the brain; and this could increase the natural ability to process information. Several psychologists and analysts jokingly even say that the main reason is that they must live in a world designed for right-handers; which boosts creativity by having to use both hands.

While the smallest group is ambidextrous, every left-handed person has the potential to excel in fields such as the arts, politics, business, applied sciences, and others.

FUN FACTS

Other studies have revealed that left-handed people tend to be a bit more psychotic than others. In the Inca culture, they were seen as individuals with special spiritual powers. Even in Buddhism, it is linked to full freedom. Like everything, sometimes it is difficult to be left-handed; for example when you must write thank-you notes, fill in forms or, also, when you tackle things on the fly. However, feel content to be part of a select club that counts among its members Einstein, Leonardo DaVinci or the philosopher Aristotle.
