Long Ring Fingers May Point to Wealth in Traders, Study Says
Long Ring Fingers May Point to Wealth in Traders, Study Says: "A glance at a trader’s hand may reveal the size of his paycheck. The longer the ring finger is compared with the index finger, the bigger his pay is likely to be, a study of London traders found.
The secret to prosperity may be contained in their digit ratio, which reflects the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger, according to a study of 44 London traders in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Traders with a lower digit ratio made an average of 679,680 pounds (or about million U.S.), compared with 61,320 pounds (,956 U.S.) by those with a higher ratio, the report said."
