That's a good point. Successful photographers probably do gain an advantage from using their right brain more, so the numbers might skew slightly there. However, among hobbyists, I expect the numbers would very nearly match that of the general population, since photography requires use of both right and left brain (left for all the technical details, right for the more creative aspects).

That is fascinating. I wonder if there are other professions that have similar fear/exposure relationships.
