Many famous scientists, presidents, and all the like were left handers.

Some examples from the top of my head: Isaac Newton, Joan of Arc, Ramses II, many in the British royal family, Buzz Aldrin, Barack Obama, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein (actually, I'm not too sure about him), Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., Lewis Carroll, Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Clinton (he's a smart guy, like him or not) H.G. Wells, Pablo Picasso, Bill Gates (you may call him stupid and stuff, but not everyone can build a giant company like Microsoft), Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Paul McCartney, Helen Keller, Wolfgang Mozart, Jay Leno, Uri Geller, Alexander the Great, and Charlemagne.

Obviously, there are also famous right-handed people, but considering that only around 1 left-hander out of every 10 righties, what do you think?

Well im left handed so it must be true!

But thats pretty impressive, Einstein is considered to be one of the smartest men in the world, Bill Gates is a fantastic entrepenuer.
 
I'm right handed, and I probably know more anime titles and more Japanese than my entire anime club. It's also not uncommon for me to get on the honor roll a lot.
 
Its like the crabs who have a dominating claw. The ones with a dominating left claw are more likely to survive longer. So yeah its almost scientifically proven that the people(or crabs) who have a dominating left hand(or claw) are the ones with the upper hand(or claw) in intelligence or survival. But some of those people are too lazy to actually go ahead and use that potential(ie: Me! XD). Seriously I'm left handed and considered much more mature and wittier then most of the kids in my class but I just go whatever be lazy and get all 60s and 70s.

Well, the first one doesn't really have much to do with intelligence and the second... I personally don't think you can really brag about getting it "commonly", per se. Save that for when you get a 6.0 GPA.
 
I'm a lefty, and I'm considered one of the smartest kids in my grade due to the way I talk (midwestern or modern western accent + use of 'long' words among New York ghetto kids...yeah.) as well as my grades (although personally 89-90% GPA isn't THAT great when I'm competing with 95-ers).

I failed Geometry. :/
 
I am left handed and people in my school act like I am Einstein... Well I am pretty smart and I actually pay attention to lectures while everybody is napping. So Left-Handed People FTW.
 
Right handed people are more artistic, left handed are better in math, etc etc. I learned this freshman year but forgot everything. Idk if their the smartest, but anyone can be just as smart or smarter.

Actually, it's the other way around iirc.

I'm not sure about the left handed being good at math but I'm almost 100% positive right handed are more artistic. But I could be wrong, there might be a website on this stuff.
 
Yeah I can do all kinds of crazy percentages with maths but I can't draw for my life. The farthest I can go is stick figures. XD

I was going to say, most of the left-handers I know tend to lean toward the artistic. Also, these are general trends. There are plenty of smart right-handers out there too. It's just that left-handers have a higher percentage.
