Apparently the shape of your hands can tell you about your sexuality, the films you like, your athletic ability and what to watch out for health-wise.
For many decades now, scientists have noticed a link between the ratio of two digits on the hand — the ring and index fingers (2D and 4D) — and a whole host of traits.
This week, for example, strong evidence has emerged of a link between the ‘2D:4D finger ratio’ and a man’s likelihood of developing prostate cancer. Specifically, men whose index fingers are longer than their ring fingers are significantly less likely to develop the disease, according to scientists at the Institute Of Cancer Research.
A long index finger also correlates strongly with a lower risk of early heart disease and, in women, a higher risk of breast cancer and greater fertility.
People with relatively long index fingers are also more likely to suffer from schizophrenia, allergies, eczema and hay fever.
Young boys are more likely to be clingy and anxious than their low-ratio peers but also, ultimately, less attention-seeking and better behaved in school.
People with short index fingers make better soldiers, engineers, speculators and chess players, and are better at solving problems such as crosswords. They are also more likely to be left handed
While a long index finger is considered a more feminine hand, a short index finger relative to the ring finger is a more masculine hand. It correlates with higher male fertility and sperm counts, higher levels of aggression and increased aptitude for both sport and music.
Women who have the masculine finger pattern display higher levels of aggression — as well as enjoy greater professional success.
