A: left-handed
LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE MAKE LESS MONEY THAN RIGHTIES: Life’s not fair, and a lot of factors that determine our luck are out of our control. A new study finds that left-handed people are likely to earn 12 percent less over their lifetime compared to right-handed people. Researchers looked at 47 thousand U.S. and U.K. workers and found that one in eight people were left-handed. Study author Professor Joshua Goodman writes, “This paper is the first to demonstrate that lefties…have consistently lower labor market earnings than right-handed individuals [and] show consistently lower cognitive skills and higher rates of mental and behavioral disabilities.” Goodman thinks the cognitive deficit is due to the wiring of a left-handed person’s brain.
