世界十大左撇子名人 简介 世界上的左撇子总归没有右撇子多，但是貌似世界上左撇子的质量都比右撇子高，要不怎么上至总统国王，下至科学家艺术家都是左撇子呢。 No.1?巴拉克·奥巴马 在过去的一百年中，美国的总统们越来越“左倾”，这不是指他们的政见，而是他们的用手习惯。二十世纪以来一长串左撇子总统名单中，奥巴马是最近加入的一个。在他之前，加菲尔德总统、胡佛总统、杜鲁门总统、里根总统、老布什总统和克林顿总统都是左撇子。 怎么会有那么多左撇子总统当选呢？一些专家认为，左撇子人群的语言运用能力更强，这种能力或许可以使他们在组织一些政治措辞时更为游刃有余。而至于近些年左撇子总统出现更为集中的问题，有些人认为这和教师最近停止对左撇子儿童进行右手使用纠正训练有关。 In the past hundred years, the U.S. presidency has veered more and more to the left — not in policy, but in handedness.

In fact, the Microsoft titan and philanthropist is one of a surprising number of U.S. business moguls to be left-handed, including Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner. But the club seems to be a guys-only fraternity — research suggests that while left-handed men tend to earn more than their right-handed colleagues, there is no similar advantage for women. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left-handed men favor divergent thinking, a form of creativity in which the brain moves from conventional knowledge into unexplo
