In Argentina, to be right-handed or left-handed has to do with political postures. This is already unconscious, because the leftists (Marxists) they are called "left-handed" (Left-handed). For that reason the right has to do politically with traditional thing, and the left with the progressivism. I don't know if this has something to do with this post or with analysis that Rd Chrisostomos will do later on it, but I wanted to contribute with this.
Survey on those who are left-handed or right-handed.

The reason I took this poll was to see if a theory I had was valid or not. The premise was, and still is, that "left-handed" people, or at least the one's I know, are literal types. They take everything literally.
When communicating with them, understand that they take you literally. They tend to think in terms of "black and white". No middle ground. I felt that any "left-handed" Orthodox Christian would be a "traditionalist", due to this bias. My results were conclusive. I was the lone "left-handed" World Orthodox. I consider myself a "traditionalist". With the exception of attending a "New Calendar" Church, I am guilty of all counts accorded to a "traditionalist" minded Orthodox Christian.
For what it's worth,
