Right handed and left handed brain traits?

Question

I remember being told when I was little that if you are right or left handed you have different brain traits. I.e. if you are left hand dominated you use your left side of your brain and you are more creative. Is there any truth to this? Could somebody explain this in greater detail about the left and right side of the brain? Also I'm in the process of learning Italian (I'm studying abroad) and I am also in the process of learning to write just as well with my right hand as my left (in some ways I'm ambidextrous). Is it possible to be able to write with both hands simultaneously in two different languages (i.e. writing with your left hand in English and your right hand in Italian at the same time)? I was told that we all have the capacity of being a genius like Einstein if we just push ourselves. Thanks for your time.

Each hemisphere of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. This means that the left brain dominant people are right handed and that the right brain dominant people are left handed. It also determines your dominant eye or the eye that you would use to shoot with if you were to be using a gun. My girlfriend is right handed but she is left eye dominant. I really don't know what the deal is with that but she could just be special.

Artistic, creative, emotional, characteristics are the results of people "suffering" from right brain dominance. Creative arguments always originate in the right brain. Another trait of right hemispheric thought is non-sequential order. A right brainer may compose the world's most endearing love letter, address it, seal it, put the letter in the mail box forgetting to add the stamp. Right-brainers often do not finish a project but start many, keeping them all in an orbit. Right brained dominance is sometimes confused with psychosis, eccentricity, or learning disorders. Artistic people are lone eagles and don't work well in teams.

Attention to detail, order, discipline, and respect for authority are aspects of left brain dominated people. They are often perceived as "book worms" or "nerds" because they like words and numbers. Disciplined analysis of details originates in he left brain. Public school teaches 1+1=2, c-a-t spells cat; the left brain understands this precise order. Bookkeepers, accountants, and computer programmers are occupations that require lots of "left brain," repetitive, discipline.

Answer 4

Yes apparently lefties are more creative. I know this because my daughter is left handed, she is only 18months old but her pediatrician said being left handed she will favour her right side of the brain which holds the arts for creativity. I find it interesting as I've always thought of being left handed as a disadvantage but it isn't!

Answer 5

there was a question about this asked a month or so ago about right and left handed people and which side of the brain they used. from what i read it told me left handed use their right brain and righties use left part of brain. the people who answered the questoin was mostly left handed poeple and majority of them (including me) said that we're very creative but very bad at math. i can remember things more than an average person could and i do believe lefties can be geniuses if we push ourselves.
