Pseudoscientific theories like the “digit ratio” suggest finger length reveals personality traits. A longer ring finger (low 2D:4D) is linked to risk-taking and competitiveness, while a longer index finger (high 2D:4D) is tied to empathy and nurturing. Equal lengths indicate a mix of traits. Popularized by biologist John Manning, this idea connects digit ratios to behavior and health but remains scientifically debated.
