AN ITRODUCTION TO DERMATOGLYPHICS

The study of Dermatoglyphics can be traced back to almost 200 years of research. This study has been proven with evidence in anthropology, genetics, medicine and statistics to decode human’s innate ability (inborn characteristic). It started in 1823 when scientists discovered the relevance of fingerprints and multiple-intelligence in human. Medical research verified that the formation of fingerprint started at week 13 of embryonic stage and completed at week 19. Both the brain development and dermal ridges are growing simultaneously during that stage too. Therefore there is a direct co-relation between the development of the brain and fingerprint. Some countries such as Russia, China and Taiwan adopt dermatoglyphics technology in areas of sports, education, human resource management, recruitment, entertainment and even talent scouting.

Unfortunately, most of us have little sense of our talents and strengths,

much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided

by our parents, teachers, managers or influenced by media, peers

and friends, we become numbed and blinded and practice our

weaknesses and spend our lives in mediocrity , while our strengths lie

dormant and neglected. This vicious cycle keep on going as we use

the similar way to raise our next generation.

THE BENEFITS OF THUMBRULE-DMIT

ThumbRule has a Scientific Approach to discover the innate abilities and talent of an individual, particularly children before the age of 16.

STEP 1

Understand your child’s innate characteristic

� Parents often misunderstood their children simply because they do

not know their inborn characteristic (curious, rebellious, persistent

and etc.)

� To know how to communicate effectively with your child based on

their inborn communication style

� To understand and to develop an effective interaction method

with your child

For adults, this test can be used for self evaluation and compatibility

with your spouse or business partner.

STEP 2

Know your child’s inborn learning style or ability

� To know exactly the natural learning style a child posses

o A kinesthetic learner expresses his feeling/thought through body

language and prefers to learn/memorize through operation and

movement

o A visual learner has sharp observation/visual differentiation and prefers

to learn through observation and reading

o An auditory learner prefers to learn through auditory sense/oral

practice and able to assimilate, organize and arrange oral information

� To recommend parents to place their child in courses or pre-school

where its curriculum suits the child’s inborn learning style (i.e.

Kinesthetic learner learns best at Montessori due to its activity-

based method)

� To eliminate the ‘trial and error’ situation where parents send their

child to a certain class (i.e. art class or music class) without knowing

if the child is capable to comprehend

For adults, this test will reveal to them the strength they possess and to

guide them to perform effectively at work.

STEP 3

Discover your child’s inborn talent & potential

� Every child is unique and possess different inborn talent

� To use a scientifically proven method to reveal a child’s inborn

potential (strength, weakness, left-brain dominant or right-brain

dominant)

� To give parents an insight into their child and to groom them

effectively to the talents they possess

� To enable parents to focus on their child’s strength and to eliminate

the ‘guessing game’ on their talent

� A dermatoglyphics report is very useful in assisting parents to

choose a course for their child (arts, music or sports)

� Dermatoglyphics report is also a very important guideline for a child

to refer when choosing an university programme that best suit their

inborn abilities and potential

� After graduation, the dermatoglyphics report will again be helpful in

giving recommendation to chose their career path

As for adults, this test can be a very good reference for those who

intend to make a career change, to venture into new business or to pick

up new skills/education
