ß“π«‘®—¬ «“√ “√«‘∑¬“»“ µ√å ¡¢. ªï∑’Ë 39 ©∫—∫∑’Ë 1 111 Conclusions 72 male and female high school students answered the MI questionnaire of 80 items and their ten-fingers were scanned using the fingerprint sensor and the Automated Inkless Fingerprint Imaging Software to investigated relationships between types of fingerprint patterns and each of the 8 multiple intelligences derived from Gardner. Analyses revealed that the whorl pattern on the right middle finger had a statistically significant relationship to the logical-mathematical MI score. This is the first report of an integrated analytical study of fingerprint research and educational knowledge on multiple intelligences. Further studies of appropriate sample sizes need to be undertaken to further develop this research.
