What Do Your Fingers Say About Your Personality?

If you’re into Zodiac signs, horoscopes, and palm readings – you might find this interesting too. Your fingers can say quite a lot about your personality, and, surprisingly, it’s rooted in science. Research suggests that your digit ratio is determined by which hormone you were exposed to more in the womb: testosterone or estrogen. So there are three basic options for digit ratio and here’s what they can say about your personality:

Index finger is shorter than 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 in comparison to your ring finger – the more testosterone you were exposed to in the womb. If this is the case for you, that means that you’re probably good at endurance sports, your spatial awareness is on point and you’re good at puzzles and maths.

Researchers have conducted tests in which a group of women were given testosterone drops and some were given placebo drops. Those who had the testosterone drops showed better results in spatial tests and when doing basic maths.

On the other hand, greater exposure to testosterone in the womb might mean that you’re less likely to be faithful in the future. Research shows that adults who have shorter index fingers tend to be promiscuous. Another interesting detail is that women who took part in the research were asked about their sexual orientation and those with shorter index fingers admitted to being attracted to other women.
