Did you know?
The pinky is mighty indeed. Despite being the smallest finger with the least range of motion, without the pinky the strength of your grip would diminish by 50%. But it's also said that the length and shape of your pinky tells us something about your personality.
For instance, (1) if the tip of your pinky is below the top knuckle of your ring finger, you are said to be shy and reserved. (2) If it is above, you tend to be charming and sociable. (3) If it is even, you are mellow and deal with stress well.
Now compare the absolute length (from base to tip) of your pinky and ring fingers. (4) Most people have shorter pinkies, which means they have plans and aspirations in life but have a tough time reaching them. (5) But a select few have pinkies longer than their ring fingers. These tend to be overachievers and high-performers, like world leaders, CEOs, and celebrities.
(6) Is the tip of your pinky finger flat or square-shaped? If so, you are likely honest and forthright. (7) How about a pointed tip? You're likely a good public speaker, since you tend to be eloquent and tactful. (8) Finally, a pinky tip that is curved to one side indicates a fear of confrontation, or more generously, a desire to make peace.
However, the jury is still out whether getting cosmetic surgery on your pinky will change your personality. Somehow we think not...
