Abstract

200 university students were tested to determine whether or not different types of finger prints were associated with personality test data. Comparisons were made between the three main finger-print types: loop, whorl and arch, on each of the 10 digits for each scale on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). Subjects with arches on their left index fingers or left middle fingers scored significantly higher on the Neuroticism factor (forthright versus shrewd) than people who had whorls on these fingers. However, no obvious large or simple relationships were found in this preliminary study between the 16 PF scores and finger-print types.
