Left Handers Earn More? ¿ÞÂÊ Handers Àû¸³ ´õ ÀÖ³ª?

A recent study from the US National Bureau of Economic Research reveals that among graduates the earning power of left-handed men is 15pc greater than that of men who are right-handed. ¹Ì±¹ ±¹¸³ °æÁ¦ ¿¬±¸¼ÒÀÇ ÃÖ±Ù ¿¬±¸ 15pc °¡¿îµ¥ ±× ´©±¸º¸´Ù ´õ Å« - ¼ÕÀ¸·Î ¿À¸¥ÂÊ ¾î¸¥ÀÇ ¿ÞÂÊ - ¼ÕÀ¸·Î ³²ÀÚÀÇ ¼öÀÔ Àü¿ø Á¹¾÷»ýÀÌ´Ù. Certain professions are particularly suited to the traits of left-handers, who have often been cited as making excellent entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates, and politicians like Bill Clinton.

Clinton was actually the third left-handed president in a row after George Bush and his predecessor Ronald Reagan. ½ÇÁ¦·Î Ŭ¸°ÅÏ Àü ´ëÅë·ÉÀÌ ¿ÞÂÊ¿¡ 3 - ¼ÕÀ¸·Î Çà¿¡ ·Î³Îµå ·¹À̰Ç, Á¶Áö ºÎ½Ã ´ëÅë·É°ú ±×ÀÇ ÀüÀÓÀÚ.

Image description This backs up psychological evidence suggesting left-handers are more creative and neurological studies that have shown that male left-handers are better at thinking 'outside the box' than their right-handed counterparts and are also better able to deal with new situations.

Another explanation for the possible advantage enjoyed by left-handers may have to do with the structure of the brain.

The main connection between the two hemispheres of the brain is the corpus callosum, a thick band of tissue which has been found to be larger in left-handed men, which could allow a more rapid thought process. ³úÀÇ µÎ ¹Ý±¸ »çÀÌÀÇ ÁÖ¿ä ¿¬°á ÄÚÆÛ½º callosum, ¿ÞÂÊ - ¼ÕÀ¸·Î ³²ÀÚÀÇ »ý°¢Àº Á» ´õ ½Å¼ÓÇÑ Ã³¸®°¡µÈ´Ù´Â °ÍÀ» ¹ß°ßÇß½À´Ï´Ù½Ãų ¼öÀÖ´Â ´õ Å« Á¶Á÷ÀÇ µÎ²¨¿î ¹êµåÀÌ´Ù.
