The Top Ten

1 They comprise less than 1% of the population

It's pretty rare to have this trait, making them rarer than left-handed people, but only if you have the capability to write with both hands. According to the American Psychological Association, 10% of the world's population is left-handed, and 1% of the world's population is ambidextrous.

2 They have symmetrical brains

That pretty much explains how they can perform tasks simultaneously with both hands. It would be so cool if I could use one hand to write down some important information and use my other hand to doodle simultaneously.

3 They are more likely to have synesthesia

Synesthesia is essentially the crossing of senses with one another, or cross-sensory perception. For example, people with synesthesia can taste color and see sound.
