SAT Experiment: Find out what you're likely to be better at: Math or Reading

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>What do you consider yourself better at? Math or reading?
Look at your index finger and your ring finger. Which is higher? Or are they equal?
If your ring finger is higher than your index finger, then you are better at math.
If your ring finger is lower than your index finger, then you are better at reading.
If you are equal, then you are good at both. </p>

<p>Can anyone post if this is true? </p>

<p>I found a research about it. </p>

<p>“Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores on the college entrance exam, while children with the reverse finger-length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal, scores versus math scores. The researchers looked at boys' and girls' test performances separately and compared them to finger-length ratio measurements. They found a clear link between high prenatal testosterone exposure, indicated by the longer ring finger compared to the index finger, and higher scores on the math SAT.</p>

<p>Similarly, they found higher literacy SAT scores for the girls among those who had lower prenatal testosterone exposure, as indicated by a shorter ring finger compared with the index finger.”</p>

<p>My ring finger is bigger than my index, and I got 800CR (well, on official practice tests, haven’t taken a real exam yet) without any prep at all, but I peak at like 690-700 math, even with some prep</p>

<p>awkward :|</p>

3

<p>Well it seems pretty accurate because my index finger is shorter than my ring finger and I’m way better at math than reading</p>

4

<p>wow its true for me, thats weird…</p>

5

<p>LOL!!1 That is so weird! I suck at reading and am in advanced math…guess which finger is longer…That’s so creepy</p>

6

<p>The finger rule is true for me. Nor is the testosterone fact. But I’m an adult.</p>

7

<p>Anyone good at reading and have their index finger longer?? This is pretty cool</p>

8

<p>It didn’t work for me. I’m better at reading.</p>

9

<p>O_o it works for me…my math score is higher than my CR.
But perhaps males are genetically favored to have longer ring fingers? There’s a reason why males exceed females in the math portion, and females the other way around. Or is that all what that testosterone prenatal mumbo jumbo is?</p>

10

<p>My ring finger is higher than my index finger and I can barely break 600 on math, but almost have an 800 on CR…lol. Doesn’t work for me.</p>

11

<p>Correlation does not lead to causation.</p>

12

<p>Is anyone’s index finger longer than their ring finger? Seems less prevalent…</p>

13

<p>^ My index finger is longer.</p>

<p>But I’m better at math.</p>

14

<p>Incidentally, the same digit ratio OP talks about also has a correlation to pen0r size.(not kidding)</p>

15

<p>Well SAT wise it’s true…
M 710, CR 580…
But normally it’s the other way around…</p>

16

<p>@dusterbug I read about that too lol</p>

17

<p>Ring finger is higher than index. 780 math, 650 CR. O_o</p>

18

<p>Doesn’t work for this guy. I deplore english subjects.</p>

19

<p>My ring finger is longer, and I’m way better at Math, so I guess it’s true!</p>

<p>But…that means I was exposed to higher than normal prenatal levels of testosterone? Umm okay?</p>

20

<p>So now that this seems to be true I just wonder why.</p>
