Determine the direction these doctors and nurses shoulders are facing

We want to see how quickly and accurately you can answer simple questions about medical professional's headshots. You'll see thumbnail headshots of doctors and nurses. Your task is to tell us, as fast as you can, the direction their SHOULDERS are facing (regardless of head or eye direction). Make sure to take note if the person is a doctor or nurse because we will ask you to recall their profession after the picture disappears.

Note we are asking what direction they are facing in respect to YOU (so think your left/right and not their left/right!).

This is how trials will look like:

What's the direction of the NURSE's/DOCTOR's shoulders?



Press "1" for SHOULDERS facing LEFT

exampleLeft

Press "2" for SHOULDERS facing RIGHT

Then the person's profession will disappear from the screen and we will ask you to click on their correct profession:

What was the profession of this person?

nurse

doctor



Note that the order of the "nurse" and "doctor" buttons may change from trial to trial.
