Interesting blurb from Men's Health, Index vs Ring Finger length
 

So I ran across this in the Health Bulletin in the April 2011 issue of Men's Health.

Apparently there has been a decent amount of research on this, and it seems that men that have a longer ring finger relative to their index finger were exposed to more testosterone before birth.

This then apparently may act as an indicator for other health and behavioral issues/traits including:

• less likely to have a heart attack in 30s and 40s
• more likely to develop prostate cancer
• more agressive than men with longer index fingers
• greater mental toughness and optimism

As it relates to this forum, I am curious as to whether this phenom is present in a random (somewhat) sample of actual Quiet Professionals.

Not advocating that it is or is not an indicator of success in becoming SF but rather trying to humor my own sense of curiosity.

Thanks,

P.S. - I have the longer ring finger and do feel I am on the more aggressive side :lifter

Oh, you shouldn't have to go thru Training Group, then. :rolleyes:

LOL! Believe me, I did think about posting this under comedy, but then I figured that no one would take it seriously! :D

Hmmmm
 

Whose ring finger is shorter than their index finger? That would make your hand look kind of odd wouldn't it?

The only guys I can remember seeing in that condition were Elton John and the actor on the "Low-T" commercial...

Oh, man..........
 

Oh, man, you just had to make that comment.

Ain't nobody going to admit it now.

Many moons ago my almost MIL said I couldn't marry her son if my second toe was longer than my first toe because it's an indication of aggressive personality. :D

That's not the reason we never married. :p

Never really thought about this but here's an article that is full of interesting stuff on the subject: Click Me

Even more interesting info including ratios etc etc: Click Me

A little visual aide to help.

I also attribute the length to an abnormal gene in my recombinant DNA string?? Or the time I slammed it in the lock-out hatch in KW??

:D:D:D:D

Informal survey here on the team, all are longer. :munchin :D

Well, there was my 18C phase 2 instructor. Three guesses as to the cause of his affliction.:D

I wonder if anyone ever successfully breached his see through case. No, blow it in place does not count.



LHC

Longer here.!
