Q1) Fold your hands like you are praying and and cross you fingers together. Is your right or left thumb on top?

Left

Q2) Cross your arms, is the left or right arm on top (you see most of when looking down)?

Equal

Q4) Sit Indian style and which leg goes in front of the other?

Right

Q5) Are you left handed, right handed, or ambidextrous?

Right

Q6) Are you left or right eye dominant.

  1. left
  2. left
  3. equally
  4. right
  5. right handed
  6. right eye
 
ok felt like I got a big enough base. My Question was does Hand or Eye dominance have anything to do with certain subconscious choices, like cross legs or arms. I threw out eye dominance due to inconclusive data.

Results:
Does hand dominance have anything to do with it?
No, it look like a random choice you subconsciously decide at some point or another in your life.

Future testers:
Keep the data coming. I might be wrong becuase of too small of a user base.

Thanks all,

1. Right
2. Left
3. Equal
4. Left in front
5. Right-handed
6. Don't know. Can't figure out which one.

EDIT: I see that you've already got enough results. Oh well.
 
First: I'm not doing this to be difficult. You can throw out my results if you want. The same thing happens with personality typing tests for me.

1. No automatic preference.
2. Ditto
3. Equally
4. No preference
5. writing - right, everything else ambidextrous
6. Neither

The experiment is to see if people are gullible enough to answer any question posed to them on the internet even without any reason.

Based on the number of those stupid 'questions about yourself' e-mails I get, I'd day that people will in fact answer just about any question on the internet for absolutely no reason.

1. My right thumb's on top.
2. My right hand is on top of my left arm, and my left hand goes under the right arm. So, I guess, right on top.
3. Left moves more.
4. Right in front of left.
5. Left, although I golf right.
6. I never thought about it...i guess right, when its so bright I can't keep both my eyes open, i usually close my left eye and my right eye stays open...so right.
