New Test for Athletic Ability

British researchers say that they have discovered a link between finger length and athletic prowess. After studying the lengths of ring (next to smallest finger) and index (next to thumb) fingers of professional athletes, the researchers claim to have found a correlation. Simply put: long ring fingers indicate higher levels of testosterone exposure in the womb during development. So, if your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you are predisposed to doing better at sports.
