Estimate your in-utero testosterone exposure.

'Cliffs notes':

If your ring finger is longer than your pointer finger, you were exposed to a high dose of testosterone while in the uterus.

If the pointer finger is longer, then you were exposed to a lower dosage.

Lower means better verbal skills, higher means better spatial skills.

For me:

Right hand: pointing finger about 4mm shorter than ring finger.

Left hand: same but only about 2mm difference.

Slightly above medium testosterone level?

So does this mean your parents did it a lot when your mom was pregnant?

Both ring fingers are longer, but the one on my left hand is as long as my middle finger...lol

Long ring fingers, here. Must explain why I am so manly. I think you are full of crap.

 

[Fritzo]

My middle fingers are about 1/2" longer than all my other fingers.

 

[clamum]

My ring finger is about a 1/2 inch or so longer than my pointer finger on my right hand; ring finger on my left hand is maybe a 1/3 inch longer than the pointer.

Interesting. My ring fingers are nearly as long as my middle fingers; my index fingers both end about 1/3 of the way into the final segment of my middles.

 

[Modeps]

Left hand, ring finger is slightly smaller than pointer finger.
Right hand, ring finger is slightly longer than pointer finger.

Don't you understand what he is doing? He is making us look at our fucking hands and measure fingers. It's like the old joke, "Hey, did you know that if your hand is bigger than your face, you might have cancer?" When you put your hand up, you smash it into their face. The harder, the better. Only in this version, you are just made out to be an idiot online.

My ring fingers are longer.

Finally.

Mine are longer/shorter depending on how I hold my hand. At rest, the ring finger is ~2mm longer on both hands.

Hmmmm. Don't know how valid the theory is, but at least with me, my ring fingers are quite a bit longer, and I have horrible verbal skills, and excel at spatial reasoning and was always athletic.

< the spatial skills are strong in this one.

I was born by woman unlike some of you, so not very high.
