I seem to have failed the test. My ring finger is somewhat longer than my index finger. I do know that I had several male siblings born immediately ahead of me, and that has been strongly associated with gender and sexuality. But fingers can't lie right? I guess I don't need all these women's clothes afterall
Oh gosh, I haven't seen this in years!
I remember a thread long ago where it was discussed extensively. You might do a search. If memory serves, the results were mixed pointing to yet another fun, but ineffective way to determine gender.

Thanks Mikaela. I read up a little about this recently after someone here posted a link. I think the topic is fascinating, Gaby

Although I failed this particularly test, I wonder if other factors, such as overall stature might affect this particular ratio. I have embarrasingly large hands, and I'm 6'2" and fairly large boned. And I don't care, I still like wearing tank tops!
I have mentioned this in other threads. It has for years been said as a good way to tell ones true gender but then everything changes over time so who knows>
My ring fingers on both hands are a good 1/2 inch longer then my pointers.
Kinda makes one wonder how it relates to the size of something a little lower?
Check the thread on the COGIATI test, which is now about 10-12 days old. One of the gender tests discussed therein had a finger length ration test as part of its "scientific methodology." It's fun stuff, but probably has very little utlity in the final analysis. I do have to admit that my fingers came in as being of female proportions, which kind of surprised me, but would appear to be accurate as regards sexual orientation.
I found that on one hand my ring finger was longer. On the other hand they were the same. I wonder what the experts would say about that?
Mixed results. Left hand, low ratio (i.e., ring finger longer, maleness). Right hand, equality (femaleness). That's measured.
Interesting, though - if I put my hand flat on a table, the left hand index and ring fingers *appear* the same length, whereas the right hand ring finger looks longer than the RH index.

Oh, I wouldn't put too much value into it Depending on how you shift your thumb, the orientation of your fingers can change. And if it is part of the Cogiati, it might as well have bunk written all over it.

I am with you jessica, one is male proportioned and the other is female. Maybe that is why I am bi...lol. Fun analogy Mikaela, thanks.
yep....I did......and for the record my 2D and 4D are the same length to the nearest 1/10th as best as I can Measure them.Originally Posted by Scarlet Rose
Another test of being female is if you put your right hand up the centre of your back and extend your first finger...if it comes above where a bra strap would be...you have feminine traits. That's why women can fasten bras.
I made that up.
But you did it anyway
Yes you did!!
No you did I saw you.

To those of you who consider yourselves to be "Cat People" I apologize in advance for I am not.
One of my favorite things to scoff at! But I seem to remember the original thread saying something to the effect of "if you ring finger extends past your pointer". I have seen this come up in other writings and those stated the true length of the fingers (the bases aren't parallel). So the wording does change depending on who you read.

Darn! You caught me! How'd you do that???
And that is the way I fasten my bra -- behind my back.
More importantly, like others here I have those opposite fingers.
My pointer finger on my left hand is a good bit longer than my ring finger. My ring finger on my right hand is quite a bit longer than my index finger. The ratios are about the same and on each hand the longer finger is about 3/8" (9.5mm) longer than the other finger.
Maybe one hand with each is emerging as the most common pattern for transgenders? Wonder what the FtM's are finding on this one.

I'm small boned, about 5'9", and pretty skinny. My ring finger is slightly longer than pointer also. I have slightly muscular but not large hands.Although I failed this particularly test, I wonder if other factors, such as overall stature might affect this particular ratio.

Have you broken the longer finger? I knew a girl that had one arm that was a good 3 inches longer than the other one. She had broken it twice. It seem that when you break a bone it heals to be slightly longer than before.

according to the test mentioned previously, you would be an androgyne: part male part female.
On my right hand, my ring is longer than my index but on my left they equal in length.
the BBC test takes that into account.

Well I must be female since mine are the same length. No wonder I feel the way I do inside!!!!!

Yes, I did - and I can almost touch the base of my skull!! Bring on the bras!!!!
I've fastend my bra behind my back for 30+years! My ring fingers are longer then my index's! Go figure! I put about as much in this story as I do that the president is going to 'fix' the economy???????????????
I think that is only valid if you are left handed and first born.... Was the only male child with 7 sisters.... Parents were divorced...... And you haven't worn your fingers down dragging them on the ground...
You know they used to say you can tell a criminal by the sepration of thier eyes and there forehead. And I guess for some of us isn't it a matter of being in the wrong body?
To add to the fun, on both hands my ring and pointer are almost exactly the same, w/ both rings being slightly shorter. In the name of (non) science
My fingers may pass this, clearly very accurate test of feminineness. But my knuckles are worn to the bone from dragging on the ground. Not as you may think from walking up & down the garden ploughing, but from trying to slow our little sport car when my wife is at the wheel.
So mine are both exactly the same length. From what i gather from the article, this is considered a female trait? Super! one more thing to have a complex about!
