First what exactly is dermatoglyphics?

The palms of the hands and the soles of the feet are etched by distinct alternating ridges and grooves that together make up dermatoglyphics. Medical research verified that the formation of fingerprints start at week 13 of embryonic stage and complete at week 19. These patterns are formed from the external ectoderm and usually occur during the fetal development stage, 13 to 19 weeks after fertilization.

Now,what is DMIT(Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test)?

DMIT is the scientific study of the dermatoglyphs (ridge patterns) of the fingers which has many applications in the field of Psychology, medicine and Anthropology . Dermatoglyphics refers to the branch of science which constitutes the study of the patterns of skin (dermal ridges) present on the fingers, toes and the soles of human. Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence test is a biometric assessment of the individual’s fingers to get an insight into his brain.

Who came up with this test?

1926

Harold Cummins proposed “Dermatoglyphics” as the proper noun for the study of fingerprints at the American Morphological Society. Dermatoglyphics officially became a professional Knowledge in the field of Research.

1958

Noel Jaquin researched and found that each fingerprint corresponds to each type of personality.

1981

Professor Roger W. Sperry and his co-researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Biomedicine for their research work on the left and right brain functions as well as dual-brain theory.

2005

Prof. Lin Ruei filed for patency in Dermatoglyphics.

2008

Prof. Lin Ruei got U.S. Patent Dermatoglyphics (7406186).

What are the proposed benefits of DMIT for a child?

• Discover your child’s innate strengths and weaknesses

• Build an environment conducive to their overall development

• Give them the required push in the best possible way

• Incorporate teaching methods best suited to them
