Skilled at Math or Writing?
Here is a handy way to find out
New research claims that the length of a child’s index and ring finger can be used to predict how well they may perform on the SAT’s.
“Kids with longer index fingers compared to ring fingers are likely to have higher literacy or verbal scores versus math scores on the college entrance exam, while children with the reverse finger-length ratio are likely to have higher math scores versus reading and writing, or verbal, scores,” said psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath, who led the study.
In the future, his team will see if fingerlength ratios are related to other cognitive and behavioral issues, such as technophobia, career paths and possibly dyslexia.
