I have never been able to call 'left' or 'right' - somewhere there is a wire missing. Giving directions in the street to people I often just sort of wiggle my arm in that direction and go 'you know, that, way'.
At school this had one advantage when I was excused from having to do the marching bit of army corps by the NCO since my inability to turn in the correct direction when ordered was making his squad look bad!
However I am a genius when it comes to reading maps and hardly ever get lost, even without one, so it is not linked to sense of direction.
