Finger digit ratio

[Dieselman]

Does anyone fancy a little test?

Measure the length of your right hand index finger (2nd digit) and the length of the right hand ring finger (4th digit).

Measure carefully from the crease at the palm to the tip of the fingers, then convert that to a percentage ratio.

Example:
2nd digit = 80mm
4th digit = 83mm

80/83 = 0.96.3
0.94 * 100 + 96.3%

I'll reveal more another time.

Not quite what I was interested in, but sort of.

There are claims of genetic and global regional differences linked to the digit ratio, face and body shapes, temperament and behavior.

Is it a knob joke?

 

[Dieselman]

I'm more interested in the physical and behavioral attributes, especially as even within certain genetic races there are significant regional differences in both physical (body and facial) and behavior.


This applies within any given race, such as Caucasian and is apparently very regional, even to individual countries.

I wondered if people thought his fitted them.

So a digit ratio of say 92% is very Alpha, a digit ratio of 100% is very Beta. Women tend to be higher than 100%, but the same rules apply.

Perhaps people can just say if they think this fits them, without saying what the ratio is.

mine are identical, I've measured about 5 times!

2D=78mm
4D=78mm

What category does that put me in?

Thank the Lord it is only fingers we are having t o measure.

You do the math.

What percentage would this be

So a digit ratio of say 92% is very Alpha, a digit ratio of 100% is very Beta.

What is Alpha and Beta in this context?

Does my finger length ratio mean I am more likely to have a heart att

My mother always told me to be sure and marry a woman with small hands, thus ensuring that member would always look big.

Just as well this is a length measurement.

My fingers are very thin. I went gulling near Bruce Millers in Kent and I wore my fingers down as I was really gulling a lot

This query started out as the normal physical one, but it was this article that got me thinking more in depth.
Less about the physical side, more about the behavior side. The nationalities aspect is quite fascinating.
