Handedness of US presidents


Since 1929, 6 US presidents are left-handed while 7 are right-handed. The percentage of the population who are left-handed is only about 10%. Amar Klar, a scientist who has worked on handedness, says that left-handed people "have a wider scope of thinking", and points to the disproportionately high number of Nobel Prize winners, writers, and painters who are left-handed.

Does this imply that holistic thinking can help to produce good scientists and leaders?
