for eMaxHealthIndex Finger and Literacy Success
The results of numeracy and literacy tests for seven-year-old children can be predicted by measuring the length of their index finger and ring finger, shows new research.
In a study to be published in the British Journal of Psychology, scientists compared the finger lengths of 75 children with their Standardised Assessment Test (SAT) scores.
They found a clear link between a child's performance in numeracy and literacy tests and the relative lengths of their index (pointing) and ring fingers.
Scientists believe that the link is caused by different levels of the hormones testosterone and oestrogen in the womb
