Math / Writing skills based on the length of your finger!

So I read an article today stating that there was a study which showed that you can tell what your child excels at. If their index finger is shorter than the ring finger, the child is better at writing / communication than mathematics skills. On the flip side, if the ring finger is longer than the index finger, Mathematics is a more dominant subject over writing / communications. The difference between the sizes is also like a ratio (or to what degree the person is better at one subject than the other as well, so if your fingers are even, both are your strong, or weak subjects).
I looked at my own fingers and it was true for me! (I excel in mathematics over writing / communications). Just wondering if this was true for anyone else?

Honestly, bro, I feel that there's no difference in what you've stated.
You said that, "if their index finger is shorter than the ring finger, the child is better at writing/communication than mathematics skills," and "if the ring finger is longer than the index finger, Mathematics is a more dominant subject over writing/communications."
If you'll truly closely and carefully analyze or scrutinize these two statements, it would be readily apparent that they're basically the same.
If the index finger would be shorter than the ring finger, the natural equivalent of which is that the ring finger is longer than the index finger (though stated differently) and, thus, there's no real difference between these two statements.
If this is the case, modesty aside, I would dare claim that I excel in both, since my index finger is shorter than my ring finger, which, as you've claimed, means that one is better at writing/communication, and my ring finger is longer than my index finger, which, as you've also claimed, means that one is better at mathematics.

I started reading that as well and I think it is a bunch of bull harky. I think how well you do in certain subjects depends on who you are, and how you study, and how you are supported by your parents in your education. If you have people around you who help you learn, who teach you well, and reinforce what you've learned, you'll do better, that simple.
