Reading individual fingers
Different fingertips can have different shapes. For example, a square tip on the index finger shows practical leadership, while a pointed tip on the little finger shows intuitive communication.
Fingertip pads
A small raised pad on the fingertip is sometimes called a "droplet of sensitivity" and is linked with a sensitive, tactful nature.
