No. I think they're the same as us right-handed people, saying that left-handed people are better than right-handed people, is like saying white people are better than black people, logically, don't you think?

I dont think what hand you use has any bearing on how intelligent you are.
1 in 10 people use their left hand so what you are trying to say is that 90% of the people on the planet are less intelligent than the other 10% who all write with their left hands?
Dont think so.

There is actually a higher percentage of left handed people with above average intelligence than right handed people. It is said that this because they use both sides of the brain equally. But left handed people tend to go into the areas of sports and arts rather than academic.
I don't know how much of this is true but my mum is lefthanded and attended a lefties conference on lefties day in August and this is what she was told.

I started out left handed. My parents made me write with my right hand. Yet, everything other than eating and writing, I do with my left hand (throwing).
You cant call me ambdextrous because I cant do the same activity with both hands.
So, the question is, am I less intelligent now that I cant do everything with my left hand? I dont think so.

Not really. It depends on the person. I'm left-handed, and I know people that are a lot more intelligent than me.

I'm a lefty, and there are plenty of people more intelligent than I. What is a little odd though,is that both of my long term partners were also lefties.

No, being left-handed only means that you work best with the right part of your brain, while the right-handed people work best with their left part of their brain.

My brother is left handed. I am right handed. He is niether more academic or more artistic than me. However he is a far better metal welder than I am. Any one else know of lefties having a tendancy to masterfully wield arc welders?
