Southpaw Statistics

'Facts and Stats About Lefties' is a Rare Infographic

As a southpaw, I am honored to say that I'm left-handed once reading this 'Facts and Stats About Lefties' infographic.

For those who as well are a leftie, take pleasure in knowing that only 15% of the population is left-handed and for those leftie females out there, that your writing hand is even more rare. The infographic though has some downsides as according to a statistic, left-handed people are more likely to become alcoholics and that lefties have a shorter lifespan (by nine years) than those who use their right hand.

The Facts and Stats About Lefties infographic is sure to get you smiling about your difference though. Take pride in knowing that left-handers have a higher chance of being incredibly intelligent versus right-handers.
