Left handed people are more likely to be writers, poets, song writers, artists, etc. Lefties are right-brain dominant, the right hemisphere of the brain controls creative thought, abstraction, conceptual ideation, and so forth. Lefties are more adept at holistic thinking.
I am a leftie.
The right hemisphere of the brain controls logic, math, etc.

I am a Right handed guy and I dont htink i can compare to other people being THAT left handed. I know my boss at work writes with his left hand and he writes so slobbishly and with chicken scratch that I can't even read his chicken scratch. It's like he has been writing since the 3rd grade and still has bad hand writing.

I believe that not only left-handed men, but left handed people (including women, some lefties are girls!) are generally more creative than righties. But then I'm left-handed myself, so am biased.

I don't know if they are more creative but I think (because I remember reading or hearing something about this) that the side of the body that is more developed tells which side of the brain is more developed. Each side of the brain is somehow different than the other.

I am female; I am ambidexterous; I don't know if it makes me more creative, but it's great at parties.
