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.
