UNIQUE BRAIN
Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test
The theory of multiple intelligences is written by Dr. Howard Gardner’s in 1983. It claims that everyone is intelligent in at least eight different ways and can develop each aspect of intelligence to an average level of competency.
He said that only IQ is not enough to judge a child, because there are so many things beyond IQ.
Dermatoglyphics History
Dermatoglyphics is the study of ridged skin patterns (also known as dermatoglyphs) which can be found on fingers, palms, toes and soles. These patterns are formed from the external ectoderm and usually occur during the fetal development stage, 13 to 21 weeks after fertilization.
From the anatomical point of view, the human hands dominate all other organs in terms of relative importance. This is why the brain dedicates the majority of approximately two hundred million nerve endings to the hands. In other words, the hands are sources of physiological and psychological information waiting to be tapped, hence the increasing importance in the field of dermatoglyphics. This is the reason why Dermatoglyphics Analysis is fast gaining recognition to uncover our hidden potentials.
Our fingerprints are as invariable which never changes as they are unique. Between year 1626 and 1690, Spanish Dr. Marcello Malphigi pioneered the scientific research on fingerprints. He was also the first Professor or anatomy to utilize the microscope to examine fingerprints and record them. In his research, he discovered that individual fingerprints are unique. DMIT or Dermatoglyphics multiple intelligence test is the analysis of these unique patterns on our fingerprints.
