But by using data sets from the United States and United Kingdom that show handedness, test scores and salaries, Goodman determined that lefties have 10 to 12 percent lower annual earnings than righties.

On cognitive skills tests, lefties also do worse. And the evidence that lefties are gifted with greater creativity is “fairly weak,” according to Goodman.

“Lefties have more emotional and behavioral problems, have more learning disabilities such as dyslexia, complete less schooling, and work in occupations requiring less cognitive skill,” Goodman said.

TT9 has got to be left handed

All the lefties I know are bat shite crazy. Plus they are living in a right handed world.

If he is not, I'm sure he uses his left hand occasionally to make it feel different.

It is time for equal pay for equal work. Lefties have been discriminated against for way too long and it starts in elementary schools with the right handed desk, and notebooks...

Gay advocates have been holding left handedness out as an example of a benign genetic trait.

Hence the vehement union support.

Can we get a lefty (not to be confused with a leftiest) union and reparations?

As a member of the most discriminated against minority in the US I say Harvard has some explaining to do. How dare they paint my people in such a poor light!

Of course they do. Its a right hand world. If only they got equal treatment.

What do you do if the school you attend has no left handed desks?
Can you claim disability discrimination?
Is left handedness - a disability, like pregnancy, or death?
