Abstract<br />

This study aims at investigation of a relationship between fingerprint patterns and multiple<br />

intelligences (MI) i.e. the linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal,<br />

intrapersonal and naturalistic intelligences of school children. Subjects are 72 high school children who<br />

attended the Olympic academic course at the Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University, northeastern<br />

Thailand. The MI data were assessed by the self-administered questionnaire which consists of 80 questions.<br />

Ten fingerprints of each subject were collected by scanning with the fingerprint scanner and the Automated<br />

Inkless Fingerprint Imaging Software. Results are as follows: (1) ten fingerprint patterns of most subjects are<br />

of two types i.e. whorls plus ulnar loops; (2) The right middle finger of whorl pattern is significantly related<br />

to the logical-mathematical intelligence high score. It is concluded that the whorl pattern on the right<br />

middle finger may be able to indicate the logical-mathematical intelligence high score. Large sample size is<br />

examined to determine a relationship between fingerprint patterns and other MI.<br />

Keywords: Fingerprint, Whorl pattern, Multiple intelligence<br />
