A new study has revealed that the left-handed people are most likely to be easily embarrassed reserved, anxious, and more shy. They are more conscious about doing and saying what they want as revealed by Researchers at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland.

"I worry about making mistakes" and "Criticism or scolding hurts me quite a bit", are the most commonly used statements by the lefties.These differences are due to the wiring differences between the left-handed and right-handed people as revealed by Study leader Dr Lynn Wright.

"Left-handers are more likely to hesitate, whereas right-handers tend to jump in a bit more," the Daily Telegraph quoted Wright as saying.

"In left-handers, the right half of the brain is dominant, and it is this side that seems to control negative aspects of emotion. “In right-handers, the left brain dominates," she added.

In order to conclude their study, the participants underwent a behavioural test that assesses personal restraint and impulsiveness. AGENCIES
