Finger Length Ratios in Palmistry

Comparing the lengths of the fingers with each other and with the palm gives useful insights into personality.

Fingers compared with the palm

  • Long fingers: patient, detail-oriented and thoughtful.
  • Short fingers: quick, impulsive and big-picture thinkers.

Index and ring fingers

  • Index longer: ambition and leadership dominate.
  • Ring longer: creativity, risk-taking and charm dominate.
  • Equal: balanced nature.

Middle finger

The middle finger is normally the longest. If the other fingers are nearly as long, the person is less serious; if it is much longer, the person is very serious and responsible.

Little finger

A little finger reaching the top joint of the ring finger shows strong communication skills.
