I saw this article on Yahoo! yesterday. The article talks about how your finger lengths could be used as an indicator for which section of the SAT you were more likely to do better on. People with longer ring finger’s than index fingers were more likely to score better on the Math section of the SAT, while those with longer index fingers were more likely to score better on the Verbal section. Also, the longer one finger is over the other correlated to how much better a person did in the section over the other section.

Basically, those with longer ring fingers had received more testosterone in the womb, and those with longer index fingers received more estrogen. This somewhat points to how boys generally do better in math, and girls generally do better in reading/writing. This actually holds true for me as my ring finger’s longer than my index finger, and on all standardized tests I’ve taken, I’ve always done better on the math section.

For those that are studying for standardized tests and want to know what section to possibly study harder on, just take a look at your fingers to see which section you’re likely to do worse in! (Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for those that follow this advice and don’t score well )
