Finger length and testosterone

[sade]

Female infj, ring finger longer on both hands by 2-3mm.

Due to sleepyness I unfortunately voted the wrong way around.

The skin is lower on one side of my ring finger. Do I measure from the lower side or the side where the finger first connects?

EDIT: Also, which side am I supposed to do the measuring from?

You mean the bottom of your ring finger is slanted? In that case, measure from the average of the upper and lower side.

No, I mean that the web of skin between my fingers is higher between the middle and ring fingers than it is between the ring and the little finger.

Going by bluebell's method, I still can't tell which is longer. They seem to be almost the same, if not exactly.

Measure from the fingertips against the 3rd finger. Is your ring finger longer than your index finger in comparison to your third finger.

 

[Polaris]

I think I'm just going to have to call myself an anomaly on duck out on this one. Maybe my fingers magically change length just to give me a hassle.

Female INFP here. Ring fingers are significantly longer than my index fingers.

 

[NewEra]

Male ISTJ.

Here are my results:

Right hand:
Index finger to ring finger ratio: 0.980

Left hand:
Index finger to ring finger ratio: 0.942

Hmm... that's odd.

 

[Tiltyred]

My index finger is shorter.

 

[Fluffywolf]

Male INTP, both hands, index and ring finger are of the exact same length.

It's not in the list. :<

The only difference is that my index finger has a slightly more curved point, and is thicker then my ring fingers. But the length is uncannily the same.

 

[speculative]

My ring finger is at least half an inch longer than my index finger. I thought it was fairly rare to have a longer pointer finger than ring finger?

 

[JocktheMotie]

Male INTP.

Both ring fingers are longer than my pointer fingers.

 

[ajblaise]

My ring fingers are so huge that they bully and intimidate my pointer fingers. My pinkies are always trying to switch spots with my thumbs.

 

[lunalum]

My ring fingers are pretty significantly longer than my index fingers. The ratio is about .92 on both hands.

In light of a few articles I've found, the data we've collected here is pretty unusual since females usually have the same length fingers, or slightly longer index fingers. I thought I had super masculine hands until I saw this thread.

This wikipedia article in particular is interesting, since it actually mentions that digit ratio may affect personality. Digit ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With this data, I am tempted to conclude that people interested in typology have unusually low digit ratios.....

Not at all. Look at how many people said their index fingers are actually LONGER than their ring fingers. That's a rarity as it is.

 

[TaylorS]

I am a male INFJ and my index finger is longer than my ring finger

 

[placebo]

I'm a female INFP with index finger shorter than ring finger.

It looks like INFJs are the weirdos only ones with the majority having more longer index fingers than ring fingers.

On which hand?

 

[Lexicon]

Female infj, ring finger longer on both hands by 2-3mm.

Due to sleepyness I unfortunately voted the wrong way around.

I just voted incorrectly, too!

I'm also a female INFJ, and initially my ring finger & 1st appeared to be the same in length, but under closer examination, turns out my ring finger is ever so slightly longer that my 1st..

I don't have specific measurements. Too sleepy to search for a ruler.

Naptime.

 

[Nocapszy]

ENTP and my middle fingers are longer than hell.

 

[Eagle]

I have yet to discover on which hand we are referring to. On my left hand my ring finger is longer than my index finger by 2-3 millimeters. On my right hand my index finger is longer than my ring finger by 2-3 millimeters.
