What Your Right Index Finger Reveals About Your Views on Love

Believe it or not, your right index finger’s fingerprint might reveal how you approach love. A Japanese company ran an online personality survey using a fingerprint-recognition tool and grouped people’s views on love into eight types. See which one fits you.

Note: Everyone should use their right hand

Arch Pattern: You’re extremely loyal to your partner—gentle and considerate—but you may lack a little spark.

Raised Arch Pattern: Even with a steady partner, you may light up when someone attractive catches your eye—you’re always seeking something new.

Left Loop Pattern: You tend to be passive in love, waiting for the other person to make the first move, and you may idealize them.

Right Loop Pattern: You take your time observing your partner; if you notice a personality clash, you may end things, but you struggle to let go of the past and find it hard to start over.

Bag-Shaped Pattern: You’re a natural romantic; once you’re with someone, you imagine grand scenarios and can lose your calm.

Double Loop Pattern: You’re clear-headed; you dislike being pursued too aggressively but still long for lasting love.

Whorl Pattern: You often dream of romance but struggle to express your feelings, so opportunities may slip away. Note: A rounder pattern can also be considered a whorl—be sure to distinguish it from the bag-shaped pattern.

Irregular Pattern: Your love life may be turbulent, perhaps due to an impulsive streak; be mindful of your partner’s feelings.
