Previous research indicates that index-to-ring-finger (2D:4D) ratios are a good proxy for how much testosterone we were exposed to in the womb. High levels of the hormone tend to lead to growth of the ring finger and thus a low 2D:4D ratio. With increased early testosterone exposure comes increased sensitivity to the hormone in adult life--and studies have linked this heightened sensitivity to quick reactions and a willingness to take risks.

人差し指と薬指の比が小さい．．つまり薬指が長いということが子宮内でテストステロンをどれだけたっぷりと浴びたかの良い指標になるらしく，早期にテストステロンをたっぷり浴びるほど成人になってからのホルモンに対する感受性が増して，機敏な行動反応やリスクを取る意欲に通じるんだと．．？

けっこう薬指長いですよ，私．．貧乏人だけど（汗　ほとんど長さ一緒．
おおかた，バイアスのかかった少ないサンプルで統計取って出てきた話だろうなと思いつつ，なんか一山当てたいもんですねえ（苦笑

The team found those with a lower digit ratio of 0.93, on average, earned 10 times more than those with an average ratio of 0.988. Men typically have a ratio below 1, indicating their ring fingers are longer, Coates said. Women typically have a ratio of 1 or above.

男性の場合薬指の方が長いのが普通で平均の比は0.988．　そうしてみると平均だね，私は．　もっと長くて0.93の人は10倍稼ぐんだそうで．　やっぱ足りないわ，長さ（汗
