What is Dermatoglyphics?

For starters, according to ancient Greek, Dermatoglyphics word is formed by a combination of two words - “derma” means “skin”, and “glyph” means “carving”. It is the term used for the scientific study of ridge patterns on our fingers, hands, and legs. These patterns reduce the skin in contact with the external surface, increasing the traction and hence help in grabbing things using our hand, walking barefoot, etc.  Genetic factors influence Dermatoglyphics.

As these patterns are unique, they are highly beneficial for in-person identification and are often used to find the linkage between the suspect and the crime scene. It is also used in diagnosing genetic disorders and identifying patients prone to developing certain diseases. One can predict the abilities and skills of an individual using a test called “Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test” (DMIT), wherein, with the help of our fingerprints, our potential in different fields is identified.

Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT)

The ridge patterns on our fingers are unique and infused genetically. Medical experts say that your fingerprints are firmly attached to your brain. Studying the marks on your fingerprint can help in knowing your personality, behavior, and, most importantly, the potential you have. With the help of DMIT, you can learn about your strengths and weaknesses and find the right career choice for yourself.

DMIT equips you with: Personality profile (DISC)

DISC stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. The result of the test taker is plotted on the graph where the system tells where precisely the person stands and which type of personality is dominant. This test can give a fair idea of which career option is best suited for the test taker.
