Is it true that left handed people are smarter and more talented or is it due to the smaller proportion of left-handers that we see more geniuses from that group?

Being left handed, of course, I'd like to think so. But as others have pointed out, the right side of the brain is the 'creative' side of the brain, and therefore, it's suggested that lefthanded people are more creative. For lefthanded people to perform in the more logical realm, stronger bridges are most likely made to the left side of the brain for easier access of information to be processed with the right. One thing for certain, left-handed people are in their RIGHT mind. :))

i donot know the answer to the question... The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice - versa. The left side of the brain has certain skills and the right -side has other type of skills.. i think it will be fair to conclude that the left handed people will be "smarter" with things dealing with the right side of the brain.. i am just making a guess work here with possibly incorrect information-- so correct me if i am wrong.
