General Assumption of Psychological Behavior Based on Finger Print Pattern

Abstract

The impressions from the pulp of finger are known as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to identify indi­viduals has become an invaluable tool worldwide. A Study of finger print pattern was performed in the prisoners and normal population (non prisoners) of hilly region to compare whorls, loops, arches and composites in each hand using ink technique. The goal of the study was to identify the behavioral traits (somatic, psychological and Neurological) of these two groups on the basis of finger print pattern. Prevalence of whorls and arches were more in right hand of control group as compare to prisoners. On contrary, loops were found more in right hand of prisoners than control group. Left hand of control and prisoners showed following results: whorls and arches in control group > prisoners and loops in prisoners > control group. Aforementioned Results were found statistically significant.

“…Whorl and loop patterns were relatively higher on the left and right digit of the control compared with the criminals, and this was in line with the study conducted by Agarwal 15 .…”

Cheiloscopy and Dactyloscopy as Behavior Assessment Tool in Dental Settings: A Cross-sectional Study

“…Agarwal et al observed that individuals with loops were found to have a possible lack of concentration while individuals with whorls are quite aggressive. 25 White mentioned that whorl pattern was associated with individuals who were very selective and otherwise non-committal. 26 Singh and Majumdar found that individuals with whorls are quite aggressive and obstinate, whereas, people with arches on any finger are settled, skillful, and socializing.…”

Fingerprints as an index for investigating cooperation by children in dentistry: a pilot study

“…Studies have suggested that individual behavior and personality differ according to fingerprint type (Singh and Majumdar 2015;Shrestha et al 2016). Generally, fingerprint patterns are categorized as loop, whorl, or arch patterns, accounting for 60-65%, 30-35%, and 5% of all fingerprints, respectively (Agarwal et al 2012). Singh et al 2016 suggested that individuals with arch-type fingerprints prefer a simple lifestyle and like to communicate with others.…”

“…In the case of a poor resolution of an image, the procedure was repeated. Recognition and classification of the fingerprints were performed based on standard classifications by a trained dentist separately and blindly (Henry 1937;Agarwal et al 2012). The trained and calibrated dentist classified the fingerprint patterns twice for each subject.…”

“…Fingerprint patterns have been established as a genetic characteristic that is unique and constant over the lifetime and can be used for identity recognition. Fingerprint patterns are categorized as loop, whorl, or arch types (Henry 1937;Agarwal et al 2012) (Fig. 1, Vaidya et al 2017.…”
