Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin—these great scientists(科学家) are all left-handed. Does this mean that left-handers are smarter than right-handers, as some people say?

Scientific studies show that left-handers have no higher IQ (intelligence quotient (智商) than right-handers. They are just good at different things.

Left-handers and right-handers usually use different sides of their brains(大脑). Right-handers use the left side more often, but left-handers use both sides more evenly. We use the left side of our brain to work out problems. We use the right side to create(创造).

Left-handers are good at creative things such as music, art and science. But it's not all good news for them. They often forget names and places.
