My father is totally left handed. I'm partially left handed(40%). I think my high intelligence and unique broad-based way of seeing things which is widely different from that of majority may be attributed to this.
I have a brother who is ambidextrous. He is tremendously SMART. Nothing escapes his notice, he learns very fast and is very good at computer games.
In my country, Nigeria left handed people are known to be hot-tempered. This is their learned response to the condemnation that they face.

In summary most left handed people i've met have something different about them

Well,according to some studies from one of my father's files.Tony Buzzan stated that left hand should be used for drawing for more creativeness and right hand should be used for writing essays and such.All in all,he's stating that we should be ambidextrous for certain activities

what does it mean if you write with your left but use your right for everything else- bats, scissors etc. and just to break the cycle i'm not in the least creative but i do get bored very easy and need to be on the go constantly, maybe there is a missing gene!!

well ive been looking into left handedness and most things i have come across says we have difficulty expressing how we feel some times our thoughts get so far a head we dont realize what we are saying some times... so your kid may be inventing his own language to describe things how he sees them in a way that makes sense to him.
