Are you a NUMERATE or LITERATE?
Salaswildthought published an interesting article about psychology research on how the hormone affect our performance. According to the article, you can identify a person whether he is a numerate or literate by measuring the length of his ring finger and index finger.
The study shows that results in English and Math tests are linked to the length of fingers. Pupils with longer ring fingers are said to be more likely to excel in numeracy while those with shorter ring fingers tend to be more adept at literacy. More information about the report here.
Whether the research is true or not it’s still early to tell.
In my case my ring finger is longer than my index finger – so that means I’m a person more inclined in numerical.. hmm.. I’m an engineer and yes I find it hard to deal with literature class when I’m studying. seems like I’m validating the research report huh?.. How about you? are you numerate or literate?..measure your index and ring finger let’s see how you assess your self using this method..:)

hey, my ring finger and index finger have exactly the same length, so I conclude that I am half numerate and half literate, am i right? hheheh
