Left handed, right brained but even footed

I am a left hander......I never felt out of the flock though.
Oh yes, there were times when I felt being "sinister" or "gauche". (no! I did not learn latin or french in school!)I vividly remember my exasperation on being left handed when I bought my first calligraphy set! Not to forget the very uncomfortable classroom chairs with an extended table customized for right-handers. Very few schools are thoughtful enough to cater to the poor "leftys" who have to lunge foward in an odd conformation to write. Could that be the cause for my very shabby handwriting? Well...I am comforted by the fact that very many great people were indeed left handed. Have a look for yourself at this site
A while ago I read some stuff on brain lateralization, and its relation to creativity vs practicality.
For whatever it is worth I took a test for my "right brained-ness"
Here are the results. You can try it too....
