Signs of True Intelligence That Can’t Be Faked


Maria Konnikova, a journalist for The New Yorker, described an experiment that was held amongst a group of left-handed and right-handed people:“Left-handed people were more adept, for instance, at combining 2 common objects in novel ways to form a third—for example, using a pole and a tin can to make a birdhouse. They also excelled at grouping lists of words into as many alternate categories as possible.”Scientists connect left-handedness with “divergent thinking” — a form of creativity that helps generate new ideas. The same can be said about ambidextrous people — those who have equally developed hand activity.
