Do you have a directional preference?

Yes, north, and I've no idea why. Perhaps my brain subconsciously realizes that I'm 15° south of where I'm supposed to be.
*hunter: Where are you from?

I associate North with coldness; South with Southern accents and racism and excessive heat; West with the pioneering spirit; and East (which is what I chose) with the rising sun.

It's a tossup between north and east. I don't know why.

Daver, I picked north, too, which is why I created this survey. Perhaps it's because north is associated with up? Or perhaps, like you, there's something inside that knows I belong a little closer to the Arctic Circle.

*daver: I was born in Upstate New York. I meant more the heritage thing, though (mostly Scots, a little English).

North, for some reason. I hate the heat, perhaps :)

Northeast

I prefer to look in the direction of on coming traffic.

For some reason, I've always associated North and East as the dominant directions. Of the two, North is king. I have no idea why.

I'm particularly drawn to North. Who knows why. When I hear it, I'm just like, "Yeah." By the way, I think this survey is very odd, but original.

I'm *really* intrigued by the stats on this one.

northeast - hmm.. Realy North and/or East. Northeast is a compromise. I live in the northeasten US. East is Boston or the Ocean, North is New Hamshire, the mountains (where I often go to visit friends, and have fun hiking or skiing).
It's too bad we can't do stats on where a person lives for this one. I really gotta do some kind of cross-reference feature some day.

Left. I rarely know which was the compass points are.

North Is Up. Literally, where I grew up, in the foothills on the southern side of the San Gabriel Mountains.

I prefer a non-cardinal direction (i.e. puddingward)

well, I've always had a very strong feeling about Oregon, which happens to be West, but I chose North....because if someone were to say quick pick a direction! thats what I'd pick

the one that takes me where I'm going.
