Ring Finger Length Linked To Success


A study by Cambridge University scientists of highly pressured London traders, whose jobs requires risk taking and quick responses, found the most successful had long ring fingers in relation to their index fingers.

Not only did traders with long ring fingers make on average six times more money, they survived more years in a cut-throat world which weeded out the weak and unprofitable.

I think there was a study that found a relationship between the length of the ring finger and testosterone. I think it's rare for women to have that finger longer than the index finger, so it's not you Karyn.
