Ring Finger vs. Index Finger --- Where do You Fall?
« on: May 27, 2007, 07:07:06 AM »
I heard on the radio today, about a study comparing abilities in math and English, to the length of your ring finger vs. your index finger.  Shorter ring fingers in children in some study somewhere, were tied to better ability in English, and longer ring fingers were tied to better performance in math areas.

So, where do you come out folks?!?  This applies to adults as well, or so they state.  I'm curious, because mine are backwards (Yeah, I know -- big surprise!!!).....

Is this true?!?    ::thinking::

How can you be backwards in an "either or" type of situation?

IE, one is longer... it doesn't say which one has to be longer.  ;)

But you aren't going to tell us what your's is?   ;)


Longer ring finger here.  I'm not an English fan and I am fairly good at math.  However, I'm not exactly bad at English... at least not when I'm paying attention.

Certainly true here--shorter ring finger and I was an English major simply because it was so easy ::whistle:: -- theoretical math was beyond comprehension ::loony::

Hey, neat answers...   Airtac, I didn't know you were an English major!!  Awesome DUDE.  (Oh wait, that's not really English, is it?)   ;)

I just wondered...  my fingers should be the other way 'round, I think..  English was easy but math was like breathing... I even managed to be the only kid in one math class...  they had run out of curriculum, and a nice physics teacher made up a class just for me...   I know, I know, it's hard to believe, when I am always counting gallons of fuel on my fingers....  DUH...    ::rofl::

Oh, one article said if they were equal length, it did mean you had equal aptitude in math / English...  they said the test results showed that, also.  So, Fabo, you must be equally talented!!!!    :D

That would fit I think... though I still think I am littlebit better in English than maths.


It just got into my mind... does it count for Slovak/Maths or what if I am native Slovak speaker, not English...  ::)

This just means you are even more talented -- additional languages!!!  (Do you have 12 fingers, perhaps??)   ::bow::

My ring finger is slightly longer.  I hate math/chemistry/physics with a passion.  I barely passed my calc class in college.  However, I do very well in english/tech writing etc.   ::thinking::

UH OH...think I'm in trouble here.. ::drinking::...on my left hand both ring and index are they same length, and then I close my right eye, hey I can count to 5  ::drinking::
THEN on my right hand my ring finger is longer, so if I close my left eye I can spell Ornithorhynchus (that's a Platypus for you non-marsupial owners :) )  ::drinking:: but when I open both eyes and look at both hands  ::drinking::  everything is a lot harder to 5pe11 and c0un71ng is r311y hard.... but if i wrap both hands around this cold bottle here....
::complaining: OH NEVER MIND.... I think I'm just as airtac once told me......irreverent  :D :D  ::drinking::
