What the length of your fingers reveals about your health
It might sound strange, but researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have discovered a direct link between our brains and the length of our fingers – meaning our hands may be the best predictors of health, athletic ability and personality.
They found that those with ring fingers longer than their index fingers tend to be better at sports, due to the fact they also tend exposed to more testosterone inside the womb than their longer index-fingered counterparts. However, this athletic ability comes with a small caveat – those with longer ring fingers are more prone to having ADHD, autism and Tourette’s Syndrome.
On the other hand (pun intended!), because they’re exposed to lower levels of testosterone, those with longer index fingers than ring fingers have a greater tendency towards anxiety and depression. On the upside, they’re also more adept at verbal memory tasks.
Tell us in the comments below, which is longer – your index or ring finger? Have you found this information to be true?
