6 Hand signs for Extraversion / Introversion!

Martijn, what I wanted to know is: how did you take a rating on the individual parameters?
'coz, in the set of cases, where the separation of headline is studied for, there might be other factors which influenced them from being introvert and not exactly this marker.

For those, where the head and life line are separated, it can be said that, since, they mingle with the group, they may want to be independent of the group! And since, they are with group very much, they are mostly extraverts and introverts.

The rest of the points, other than 8, are very logical, particularly the Moon mount and life line. But, this separation point is not convincing.

Kiran, in the new results all numbers have risen from statistics derived from the 48 cases that I have studied; table 3 presents an overview of the occurence of the variations inside the 6 individual hand signs:
http://www.handresearch.com/diagnostics/extraversion-ambiversion-introversion-hand-signs.htm#HandSigns

E.g. from the details one can derive that the 'dissociated head line' has been notified in about 33% of the introverts (versus 11% of the extraverts); it's a tendency that has been observed in both the female and the male sample - though in the male sample the effect-size is low.




PS. The 'weights' featured in the picture of the article (see previous post) indicate that the starting point of the head line does not represent much more than a minor sign (representing 4% of the full Hand Model for Extraversion); so one should not conclude from these results that most people who have a dissociated head line tend to be introverts.

Martijn,
I am not a member of this group yet. Have requested for membership.Meanwhile, can you please post here what he says there?

I got the access Martijn. But, the link is not directly takng to the comment you're pointing to here. Its pointing to conversation. Which comment are you referring to?

I agree with all you have concluded so far in this research. Especially with 2D:4D ratio.

As per the multiple points on which you have classified extraversion/intraversion, I have just one question.

It says that "Extraversion is noted with a high positioned thenar crease(life line) + long connection with proximal transverse crease(head line)" and correspondingly "Introversion is noted with a low positioned thenar crease + disconnected proximal transverse crease".

What conclusion can you draw for a proximal transverse crease that originates below the thenar crease (ie. a head line which originates nearer the thumb, below the life line?)

Obviously that makes it disconnected lines. Will this be included as an  example of introversion?

Hello meshlines,

(Sorry for this rather late response!)

During the past week I have made progres in my Extraversion-study, and now I am finally able to answer your question with a thorough answer:



My latest findings suggest that it is essential to consider the 'vertical' dynamics displayed by the hand, where the focus should be putten on hand proportions & the 2 major transverse creases (a.k.a. heart line and head line).

Now, regarding your 'proximal crease crosses life line' example: the principles presented in the chart above indicate that a proximal tendency regarding the location of the proximal crease (head line) can be understood as a '-' factor on the radial side of the hand... which is likely more typical for  'extraverts'!

So, I think your example should not be associated with 'disconnected line variant' - especially since the crossing of the two lines can actually formally best be described accurately as a variant of 'connected lines'.


PS. I have decided to 'lock' this topic in order to allow members to make a fresh start on the new results - as for the first time the (new) results now present a sensible concept for how to recognize 'extraversion' from the hand!

Okay. Thank you Martijn.

Kiran, I have been thinking about your question/comment a little bit more ... and as an additional thought, maybe the picture below kind of explains why it is not surprizing to see that 'independent thinking' appears to correlate with 'introversion' (in the hand).

INdependent
INtroversion

(The words themselves also show a connection)


"Seeking independence (via act or thought) can by principle be recognized as a typical expression for the need/nature of an introvert"
