Creativity proven by science
A study published in the journal Perceptual and Motor Skills shed light on this particularity.

Their ability to produce new ideas, to imagine novel solutions and to approach the world differently was much more developed.
But beware, being left-handed does not automatically turn you into artistic genius. Rather, what science reveals is a potential for divergent thinking: this ability to consider several paths where others see only one.
