quick experiment if you're interested

I have to do a generic experiment for a class, but it requires some volunteers. I thought I'd see if anyone here wanted to participate. If not, it's cool. Post if you want.

The test is really simple. Just clasp your hands together so your fingers are interlocked. Look at your hands.

1) Is your left thumb or right thumb on top?
2) Are you left-handed or right-handed? (If you can use both hands, which one do you favor most?)
3) When you sit cross-legged or "Indian style" which leg is in front?
4) Are you right eye or left eye dominant? ( Here's a good way to determine eye dominance if you're not sure.)

That's it.

Thanks guys. In case you were wondering, the thumb crossing thing is a test for a dominant allele. If your left thumb is on top, then you have the dominant trait. If your right thumb is on top, then you have the recessive trait. Whether you're left- or right-handed shouldn't affect this. The other questions were just random sample questions.

Other "dominant gene" tests for fun:
Can you curl your tongue? If so, you have a dominant gene.
Widow's peak in your hairline? If so, you have a dominant gene.
Hitchhiker's thumb? If so, you have a recessive gene.
Can you taste PTC paper? If so, you are a "super taster" with a dominant gene.
Hairy middle knuckles? If so, you have dominant gene.
Dimpled chin? You've got dominant gene.
Does your little finger bend toward your hand? That's a dominant trait.
(The opposite is true. If you can't curl you're tongue, for instance, you have a recessive gene.)

you don't sit Indian style because you're a guy?

Sitting on a chair I always keep my legs apart. On the floor I alternate - purely to prevent pins and needles!
