Left-handed men see better paychecks. There’s no causation here, folks. Left-handed men who attended college make 17 percent more than their right-handed colleagues. That’s because the IQ distribution of left-handed people is flatter than that of right-handed people — we’re more likely to be creative, yes, but we’re also more likely to have learning disorders. So by chopping off the bottom half of that curve you’d confirm what I could’ve told you already.

Wikipedia’s article on left-handedness: “Unfortunately, they tend to be over-represented at both ends of the intellectual scale, and as well as geniuses, the group also produces a disproportionately high number of those with learning handicaps. There have been suggestions of links between left-handedness and dyslexia, stuttering, and child autism, among other disabilities.”
