Is your ring finger longer than your index finger, or vice versa?

The answer to this simple question may be the key to understanding something new about your personality.

This isn't your simple run-of-the-mill test even though it appears like that initially.

In fact, researchers have been studying finger length to understand if it has anything to do with our personality and the development of our body.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have found that men generally have a longer ring finger than the index finger, which is the equivalent to increased production of testosterone by the body.

Conversely, women often have a shorter ring finger compared to the index finger.

Experts have been studying the length of fingers as well as the ability to learn and the likelihood of contracting diseases.

They've also studied this issue in regards to fertility, since the length of the fingers would be linked to hormonal problems, as explained in their article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The longer ring finger, for example, reveals a more masculine and aggressive personality, while the shorter ring finger indicates a more feminine, sweeter person.

According to researchers, comparing finger length isn't just an interesting subject.

Instead, it may reveal something important about our personality and about the development of our body from the embryonic stage to adulthood.
