Six Things Your Fingers Say About You by otagbuegede: 9:08am On Jan 07, 2014
Men, get ready to inspect the length of your index
finger. Scientists have discovered that men whose index
fingers are longer than their ring fingers are one-third
less likely to develop prostate cancer. But "digit ratio"
can tell you a lot more about a person, if scientists and
researchers are to be believed. That's because finger
length tends to be determined by the level of testerone
someone was exposed to in the womb. Here are six
things the length of your finger might say about you:

1. That you are a man, or a woman
The most obvious thing the length of your finger tells
you is your sex. Men's ring fingers are normally longer
than their index fingers, while womens' ring and index
fingers tend to be the same length.

2. That you make a lot of money, or not
Researchers in Cambridge discovered that stock traders
with long ring fingers made more money than
colleagues with shorter ring fingers. Again, this can be
chalked up to higher testosterone, which can make men
more assertive and likely to take risks.

3. That you are a lesbian, or not
A study in California found that gay women tend to
have shorter index fingers than ring fingers. The
scientists at UC Berkeley theorized that exposure to
androgens in the womb influence both finger length
and sexual orientation, but the effect was not as
pronounced among gay men.

4. How good you are at sports
Men and women whose ring fingers are longer than
their index fingers are more likely to have an aptitude
for sports. The correlation is particularly strong, says
"finger expert" Dr. John Manning, in middle and long-
distance runners.

5. That you are good at math
Children with "masculinized" ring fingers — that is,
longer than their index fingers — do better in math tests
than in literacy tests, found scientists at the University
of Bath . Alternately, children whose second and fourth
fingers are the same length perform better in literacy
tests.

6. You are prone to arthritis
If your index finger is shorter than your ring finger,
you may be more likely to develop arthritis, found
researchers at the University of Nottingham . Those with
"masculinized" finger lengths were more likely to
develop osteoarthritis in the knees, and in the hips
problem was most acute in women
