A new research has found that left-handed people are less successful than their right-handed counterparts.
The study of 47,000 people showed that left-handed individuals are likely to earn 12 percent less than right-handed ones during their lifetime.
Professor Joshua Goodman (an economist at Harvard, Massachusetts, USA) who wrote the study, said lefties ‘exhibit economically and statistically significant human capital deficits relative to righties. Left-handed individuals show consistently lower cognitive skills and higher rates of mental and behavioural disabilities”.
