Your skills are in your hands

Look at your hands and you will learn a lot about your skills, say scientists at Cambridge University in England. They have scientific evidence about the link between talents and the length of fingers particularly the ring finger and the index finger.

If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you will probably be good at sport, especially running and football. You will probably also be interested in numbers-based subjects like maths and physics. One study found that people with longer ring fingers made up to six times more money than those with longer index fingers. If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, you will probably be more interested in words- based subjects like language and literature. You will also be better at verbal skills and expressing your ideas.

There was another study, however, which challenged the Cambridge scientists. It studied twins and showed that for most people, the length of our fingers is inherited from our parents and has nothing to do with our skills and talents at all.
