Article about "Dermatoglyphics Multiple Test" through MSDFnepal

Dermatoglyphics has a rich and scientific history of over 350 years and has documentation of research data and results dated 200 years back. Dr. Harold Cummins is acknowledged as the Father of Dermatoglyphics. He studied all aspects of finger print analysis in fields as varied as anthropology, embryology and genetics. His famous Down Syndrome studies accurately predicted the genetic link to the disease upon study of finger print patterns and the Simian crease. The findings revealed that most children with learning difficulties have different fingerprints compared to normal children. This DMI Assessment technique has been developed by scientists and research experts based on Genetics, Embryology, Dermatoglyphics, Psychology and Neuroscience.

Many research papers have elaborated on the link between finger print patterns and different diseases and psychological conditions. Further studies aroused educators’ interest in establishing a link between fingerprint pattern distribution and innate intelligence potential distributions. Significant investigations have also been carried out into the dermatoglyphic indicators of congenital heart disease, leukemia, cancer, coeliac disease, intestinal disorders, rubella embryopathy, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia as well as other forms of mental illness. Most of this research has only been published in the pages of medical journals.

In fact, in Germany dermatoglyphic assessment has been taken very seriously indeed, to the extent that computer programmes have now been designed to perform rapid multi-variate assessments of hand imprints which can predict with up to an 80% accuracy the chances of a new-born child developing heart disease, cancer, leukemia, diabetes or mental illness. Such is the status of dermatoglyphic analysis in Germany, that it has become an integral part

Prof. Howard Gardner

In the early 1980s, Professor of Education, Howard Gardner of Harvard University and Professor of Psychobiology, Professor Roger W. Sherry, winner of Nobel Prize in Medicine (1981), put forward the

respectively, after years of research. These theories aroused and attracted the warm response from the whole world, especially in the Education and Psychology arena.

These theories form the fundamentals for future generations of educators; applying the theories in many educational programmes with marked effects in education institutes across America, Europe and recently in Asian countries like Singapore, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan etc. The brain cellos a child undergo rapid development from the age of 0 to 3 years in a process called Myelination. This is followed by the age span of 4 to 8 years when the Neural network grows. This growth is aided by conducive environment, various learning activities and external stimulation.
