Ring Finger - Index Finger Ratio

Are there times when you're just not sure if she's an LB or GG?

 

In these cases the Finger Ratio test may be useful.

 

Most men and ladyboys have a ring finger (4th digit) that s longer than their Index Finger (2nd digit).  These fingers tend to be of equal size in females.

 

 

That a greater proportion of men have shorter index fingers than ring fingers than do women was noted in the scientific literature several times through the late 1800s,[2][3] with the statistically significant sex difference in a sample of 201 men and 109 women established by 1930,[4] after which time the sex difference appears to have been largely forgotten or ignored.

 

In 1983 Dr Glenn Wilson of King's College, London published a study examining the correlation between assertiveness in women and their digit ratio.[5] This was the first study to examine the correlation between digit ratio and a psychological trait within members of the same sex.[6] Wilson proposed that skeletal structure and personality were simultaneously affected by sex hormone levels in utero.[5]

 

In 1998, John T. Manning and colleagues reported the sex difference in digit ratios was present in two-year-old children[7] and further developed the idea that the index was a marker of prenatal sex hormones. Since then research on the topic has burgeoned around the world.
