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
o o
A kinesthetic learner expresses his feeling/thought through body language and prefers to learn/memorize through operation and movement A visual learner has sharp observation/visual differentiation and prefers to learn through observation and reading 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 activitybased 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
