If so, you might have high estrogen levels, and therefore possess high level spatial and analytical skills.

Atleast, according this this article (and dozens of others confirming the same thing): http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/200...runc_sys.shtml


I'd wage a bet that, in general, more Asians than Whites & Blacks have longer index rings fingers than ring fingers - just because of their dominance in mathematics. This might also explain why the "medium" Whites were able to conquer asian and african cultures in the 19th century so easily. But I doubt any researcher has the balls to produce these type of results at a university.

But I posted this because I'm interested.

Quicly look at your hands.

Which finger is longer, and please briefly describe your personality type (aggressive, analytical, etc.)

I think in the article above it talks about how scientists procreate less than normal, presumably due to their higher estrogen levels. So please mention your sexual experience ("I hit mad shit", "I'm a virgin")

Mods: I put this in S&A, in an admittedly drunken state, because to me, the comparison length between index and ring fingers will have a high correlation with one's specific interaction with society. But move it if you must, even though this forum gets the highest ratio of traffic:serious response

ring is longer

antisocial
mmorpgplaying

horrible at math

can take a decent photo/love to draw

index is shorter.

Ring finger is longer. I am a very analytical person. Great with problem solving and I learn very quickly.

Sexual experience...I've done a shit load of weird stuff with God only knows how many chicks in my time.

Bullshit theory.

Ring finger is longer.

I'm intelligent, good at maths & problem solving. Good at women. Then again, there's almost nothing I'm not good at, and I'm betting they didn't factor in gods in the theory, so I guess I'm excluded...

Mine are exactly the same length, I never noticed it before.

Ring is longer, I think this is the majority, with most people and not just men.

My hand look something like this:

but i suck at math, so i guess theory fails.

ok, I study this at uni a fair bit, so I'm going to take a stab at explaining it a little bit better/in more detail.

What you're looking at is the 'digit ratio' - that is, the ratio between the length of your second and fourth digits (counting from your thumb to your little finger). The length of the second digit is divided by the length of your fourth digit and voila, your 2D4D ratio (second digit/fourth digit).

The thinking goes that higher levels of prenatal testosterone result in a more 'male' brain, that is, more mathematically and systematically inclined. Also resulting from higher levels of prenatal testosterone is a lowered 2D4D ratio (ie your fourth digit is longer than your second digit).

The reason this concept is about is because some psychologists suspect that autism is an extreme of the male brain, no social/emotional skills but more systematic. They've found that the 2D4D ratio follows this theory, with autistic subjects more likely to have a lower (<1) 2D4D ratio.

Me - I'm female and my 2D4D ratio is about 0.93 (ie my ring finger is longer). I'm definitely more systematic than many of my female (and male) friends BUT I am studying psychology, so I don't think my emotional skills are completely shot.

If anyone one has any questions I'd be happy to link you to a few articles about the idea.
