No more time, today

Listening to: Last Train Home by Lostprophets

Look at this cool studies thing I found.

Pupils with longer ring fingers are said to be more likely to excel in numeracy while those with shorter ring fingers tend to be more adept at literacy.

In the research project, which has been published in the British Journal of Psychology, scientists measured the finger lengths of 75 seven-year-olds by using photocopies of their palms.

For each child, they took measurements of the index and ring fingers on their right hands.

They divided the length of the index finger by the length of the ring finger to calculate each child's 'digit ratio'.

Adult women usually have ratios of one - with index and ring fingers of equal length.

The average for men is lower, at 0.98, since they tend to have longer ring fingers than index fingers, suggesting greater exposure to testosterone in the womb.

Using scores in 'key stage' English and maths tests, the researchers compared the measurements of the study group - who all attended an infants' school in Bath - with their performance in the classroom.

They found that children with smaller digit ratios - a longer ring finger and greater pre-natal exposure to testosterone - were more likely to be better at maths than English.

Similarly, pupils with higher ratios - shorter ring fingers and greater exposure to oestrogen - performed better in English tests than maths.

This is true for me because I have a longer ring finger and I am better in math! (:

I attempted to read my left palm too using wikihow's guide.

Apparently your non-dominant palm tells you about your natural persona or your past, and your dominant is how you have lived your life and how you have chosen to develop yourself or something, and also your present and future.

These are my results for my left palm only:
- falls in love easily
- has creativity
- has adventure, enthusiasm for life
- cautious when it comes to relationships
- prone to many changes in life from external sources

If I determined my hand shape correctly, I am:
Fire - square or rectangular palm, flushed or pink skin, and shorter fingers; length of the palm greater than length of fingers

spontaneous, enthusiastic and optimistic
sometimes egoistic, impulsive and insensitive
extroverts
do things boldly and instinctively

This is so not me currently, but I think I was like that in primary school! Oh I miss the days when I was so full of life and didn't care what others thought of me ):

Right palm:
- falls in love easily
- smaller lines crossing through heart line - emotional trauma (only one line)
- has creativity
- has adventure, enthusiasm for life
- often tired
(I couldn't find a description of any trait which fits that of my fate line)

I like doing such stuff, it's so fun! Hahaha. You guys should try it too.

XOXO
