Which finger is longer?

Recommended Posts

I heard about this new study on tv this morning. They polled students who took the SAT on which finger was longer, the index or ring finger and then looked at the results of their test. Apparently their studies found that if the index finger is longer than the ring finger, you are better at English. If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you are better at Math.

So, check out your hand. Is the study correct for you? My index finger is longer, but I think I'm better at Math. I just talked to my son about it and he told me I'm better at English. I guess I'm not much help in his eyes with his Math homework. :ph34r:

what does it mean if the diddling finger is the longest one???



It means you should have spent more time studying and less time diddling while you were in school. This explains a lot though. :P

I sucked at both, but mega aced both parts of the SAT (maybe it was good beer the night before). I'm probably better at writing than math, and both ring fingers are longer.

That they're good at diddling, maybe? :D:):D

My index/ring fingers are the same length... I was always good at math and LOATHED English...

Never noticed that before...back to therapy!



I left out that part of the study. They said if that happens, you're fucked up and there's no hope for you. :ph34r:

My ring finger is just barely longer on both hands. Unless I have a calculator, I suck at math!! So I guess I don't match their survey results! [:/]

This has a lot to do with digit ratio research. The root of the index v. ring finger length lies in the androgen concentrations in utero. If you are interested in exploring further google is always a good place to start. I had a class in college that explored the more liberal research areas in psychology, digit ratios, phrenology ect. Pretty interesting stuff!

I've always heard that is a pretty accurate way to determine the sex of an individual. Most females have longer index fingers. Most males have longer ring fingers. For years I've looked at babies hands and it is usually accurate.
