<p>What do you all think of that article?</p>

2

<p>Seems like a great example of that a correlation does not show cause and effect…</p>

3

<p>seems true for me at least…</p>

4

<p>no flattie, it’s not saying that it caues anything, it just *indicates *that something’s more likely</p>

<p>and it didn’t work for me, my ring finger is longer than my index but i got higher reading scores</p>

5

<p>Wow… it worked to predict my scores!</p>

6

<p>weird, cause i am better in math by a lot and my ring is bigger than my index :D</p>

7

<p>ok, so i’m an anomaly</p>

8

<p>ring vs index =
masculine vs feminine=
Math oriented vs Verbal oriented</p>

9

<p>o.O how freaky. it is true!</p>

10

<p>wow it is true. my ring is longer. my math owns…</p>

11

<p>it is ridiculous- not truep- i am counterex.</p>

12

<p>Mmm - my kid does better on reading/writing on the ACT but better Math on the SAT. I think her fingers stay consistent.
Next thing some loony tunes will be injecting their pregnant selves/spouses with hormones to try and produce a wiz kid in their field of preference!!</p>

13

<p>Doesn’t work here. </p>

<p>I’m female, my ring finger is much longer than my index finger and my verbal aptitude (based on SATs and GMATs plus 25 years of working!) is significantly better than my math aptitude.</p>

14

<p>haha this is true for me!</p>

15

<p>i have big hands and big fingers and a big purple monster. why was my score a 1200? :(</p>

16

<p>Ha. That does not apply to me AT ALL.</p>

<p>Good math scores? Pffft.</p>

<p>From the original press release:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Looks like they were studying 7-year-olds who took a British test, also referred to as the SAT, not the high school one we talk about on this list.</p>
