Aren't left-handers more creative?

Aren t left-handers more creative?

We have often heard that there is a link between left-handedness and creativity. But as it turns out:there is no hard evidence for that.

The University of Groningen has researched the myths about left- and right-handedness and discovered that it makes no difference to your creativity whether you are left or right-handed.

People who sometimes do things with the left and sometimes with the right (or vice versa) would be more creative. In addition, they are more often dyslexic, have allergies more often and have fewer (grand) children than people with one preferred hand.
