Left–handed people are more competitive than their right–handed counterparts, according to a study. Researchers have discovered that 'Lefties' show higher levels of 'hypercompetitive orientation' and are driven by a very strong desire to win. Analysis of questionnaire answers revealed that while 'Righties' were more likely to avoid competition, 'Lefties' recorded higher levels of competitiveness. A study, published last year, unveiled a link between left–handed CEOs and greater innovation, unique patents and higher returns for companies. It's thought that an embryo's exposure to higher levels of the male hormone testosterone in the womb increases their chances of being left–handed.
