If you like zodiac signs, horoscopes, and palm readings, you might find this interesting too. Your fingers can tell a lot about your personality, and surprisingly, it is rooted in science. Research suggests that the ratio of your digits is determined by the hormone you were most exposed to in the womb: testosterone or estrogen. So there are three basic options for digit ratio and here’s what they can tell about your personality:
The index finger is shorter than the ring finger:
Scientists have seen that early exposure to testosterone can affect certain behavioral traits in animals and therefore the same logic can be used for humans. The shorter your index finger is compared to your ring finger, the more testosterone was exposed in utero. If this is your case, it means that you are probably good at endurance sports, your spatial awareness is optimal, and you are good at puzzles and mathematics.
Researchers have conducted tests in which a group of women were given testosterone drops and others placebo drops. Those who received testosterone drops did better on spatial tests and basic math.
On the other hand, more exposure to testosterone in the womb could mean you’re less likely to be faithful in the future. Research shows that adults with shorter index fingers tend to be promiscuous. Another interesting detail is that the women who participated in the research were asked about their sexual orientation and those with shorter index fingers admitted to being attracted to other women.
The index finger is longer than the ring finger:
People whose index finger is longer than their ring finger tend to be quite confident. They know what they want and they know how to get it. They are also usually very self-sufficient and don’t really like asking for help. These are the people who like to assume the position of leader of a group. They have very analytical thinking and like to discover all possible outcomes when making a decision. They also have no problem making the first move, be it in a romantic setting or in business.
There are people who will speak frankly with their boss about the need for a salary increase, support their case with all the arguments and generally achieve their goal.
The index and ring fingers are the same length:
These people are likely to be serially monogamous. They would rather be in a relationship than be single and willing to socialize. These people are also more likely to get married sooner rather than later. Their memory also usually improves and they rarely forget what they wanted to do, buy or when their grandmother’s birthday is.
These people tend to be very affectionate. They enjoy taking care of their loved ones, they are often considered the mother of the group of friends. They are also quite peaceful and try to avoid conflict when possible.
Unfortunately, having symmetrical fingers also has a downside. Apparently, people whose index and ring fingers are the same length are also much more likely to develop depression and anxiety.
