What's your score?

According to LiveScience, new research is suggesting that finger length can tell whether you’ll score higher on the math or verbal section of your SATs.

Here’s the key: If your ring finger is longer than your index, apparently you’re math-minded. If it’s reversed however, you’re likely to have stronger reading and writing scores.

Curious why? Here’s the explanation from the article:

Exposure to testosterone in the womb is said to promote development of areas of the brain often associated with spatial and mathematical skills, he said. That hormone makes the ring finger longer. Estrogen exposure does the same for areas of the brain associated with verbal ability and tends to lengthen the index finger relative to the ring finger.

Okay, so according to this I'm "math-minded." Which honestly, I can't say how my scores on my SAT were broken down into verbal or math. But I do know I HATE math. I didn't like it in high school (despite being in the accelerated math class) and picked a college major partially based on whether or not I had to take tons of math. In fact, I only took one math course in college (pre-algebra) and I know I didn't get an A.

So, let's see.... who else can we analyze.

Tom Hanks... looks like his index is longer... I can see him as more of an English man...

Madonna... surprisingly her ring finger is longer... I'd never guess math was her strong suite.

Looks like Gov. Schwarzenegger has a longer ring finger too... Guess he would have use math in his power lifting and body building days...

And David Copperfield must be using his mad math skills to do all that magic...

And it looks like good old Jimmy Stewart was a closet math nerd too...

Jack Nicholson was an English pro it looks like...

And surprisingly Adam Sandler is a math whiz....

But Bing looks to be a words-man and was better in English.

SO - that was fun. What do your fingers say about you?
