Page 2: Discover My Talents E.pdfTest for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other areas. According to brief surveys,

In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor of Harvard University,

proposed the theory of “multiple intelligences” which divided

human intellectual abilities into eight categories. In his view,

we are endowed with all kinds of intelligence which determine

our performance in different activities. As everyone’s superior

intellectual abilities are not alike, we all have different modes of

thinking, behaving, and learning.

Theory of Multiple Intelligences

When learning history, a chi ld with strong “ logical-

mathematical intelligence” pays more attention to the causal

relationship among different events. His main interest and strong

points are obviously different from children with good “linguistic

intelligence” and who love listening to stories. Therefore, if a

teacher can use different approaches to teach her students

according to their aptitudes, they can definitely learn better.

However, in reality, the Confucius’s first major educational

principle, “teaching without discrimination”, is easy to be

achieved but the second, “teaching by considering everyone’

s needs and characteristics”, is the opposite. There is an

initial problem we need to tackle in order to realize the second

ideal-in what way we can identify every child’s needs and

characteristics?

Our educational system is not flexible and prone to turning all

of us into conformists. As most jobs in our society emphasise

linguistic and logical-mathematical abilities, those children with

other aptitudes but not these two are marginalised. Even now,

talents such as art, music, and sport are not appreciated and

considered as “extraordinary skills” by most parents. In our

mind, the definition of “talent” is rigid, narrow, and materialistic.

Most schools, which only manufacture “standardized

products” whose qual i ty are measured by numerous

examinations, overlook everyone’s infinite potential. Without

visionary educational concepts, our hope to build a vibrant

society will always be “mission impossible”. In schools, children’

s chance of developing their multiple intelligences is obliterated.

In real life, many intellectuals are not sitting on the “right seat”.

Hence, the mission of Intelli Quest Enrichment Centre is

to extricate all parents or even the whole society from the

bondage of limited educational notions. To achieve our mission,

we introduce “Dermatoglyphic Test for Congenital Multiple

Intelligences” into Malaysia from Taiwan.

Discover our “Talents” with Dermatoglyphic Test

This test uncovers a person’s innate learning style, strength of

different congenital intellectual ability, learning potential and other

characteristics about learning accurately and efficiently.

Long ago, the Chinese have discovered that the course of a

person’s life is related to the pattern of his fingerprints vaguely.

They composed a song called “Ten Spirals Song” and handed

it down to express this belief. This can be regarded as our

ancestors’ initial attempt to find out facts disclosed by ridges on

the skin of our fingers.

Modern scientific research on the link between dermal ridges

and congenital intellectual ability started with medical studies of

the relation between fingerprint patterns and genetics. In 1926,

Harold Cummins, the Father of Dermatoglyphics, pulled together

the diverse work of his predecessors, added original research,

and set the standards of the field. Since then, dermatoglyphics,

as a specialized field of study, is chiefly used for population

studies, personal identification, morphological and genetic

research. Useful instruments for dermatoglyphic research were

also developed.

Since last fifty years, scientists have gradually identified the

correlation between dermal ridges and intellectual abilities.

Based on genetics, embryology, and neuroscience, scientists

who had carried out observation, comparison, induction,

and clinical experiment proved that the number of brain cells

distributed over different cerebral cortices can be measured by

ridges on the skin of fingers.

Foreword:

From Multiple Intelligences

to Dermatoglyphic Test

As different cerebral cortex controls a specific intellectual

ability, the distribution of brain cells will decide how superior or

inferior a person’s congenital multiple intelligences.

During 1980s, scientists in Taiwan began to develop

technology for assessing congenital intellectual abilities based

on dermatoglyphic research. Over the past twenty years,

plenty of case studies have been accumulated. In recent

years, Dermatoglyphic Test for Congenital Multiple Intelligences

has become even more widespread with the aid of high-tech

computer software and examination tools. Currently, this test is

an important tool for educating children and helping adults to

plan their life in Taiwan.

Along with the acceleration of globalization, Dermatoglyphic

Test for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced

into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other

areas. According to brief surveys, this test, which exerts great

influence on children and parents, is most welcomed in areas

where students are oppressed by stiff educational system and

heavy burden caused by piles of homework.

一螺穷  二螺富With one spiral, a person is destined to be poor. Two spirals, rich.

三螺四螺开当铺Three and four spirals, the owner of a pawnshop.

五螺六螺卖豆腐Five and six spirals, the tofu seller.

七螺八螺骑白马Seven and eight spirals, white horse rider with power.

九螺十螺十足足Nine and ten spirals, the great achiever.

Various versions of “Ten Spirals Song”: Our ancestors did not carry out scientific research to prove that the course of a person’s life is related to patterns of fingerprints. However, based on real life observation, they composed interesting song to express their assumption that we could predict someone’s future by reading our fingerprints. There are many versions of “Ten Spiral Songs” in different dialect. Which is the version in your mind?

Our brain and hands are correlated: Ridges on the skin of our fingers are visible genetic signs of the brain embryo. They reflect a person’s inborn features.

Page 4: Discover My Talents E.pdfTest for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other areas. According to brief surveys,

The test examines our congenital intellectual abilities from

seven aspects, including learning potential, the agility of learning,

the strength of congenital intellectual abilities, learning mode,

ways of absorbing and processing information, innate learning

style, behavioural manner, and the development potential of

multiple intelligences.

1. Explore Learning Potential with TRC

“Total Ridge Count (TRC)” is the value we use for examining a

person’s learning potential and it is directly linked to the number

of neurons in the brain. Our brain is primarily composed of

neurons. The key to the growth of intelligence lies with how

well fibres of different brain cells (dendrites and axons) are

connected. There are more chances for these neurotransmitters

to be connected if neurons are dense. Better connection means

higher leaning potential.

The number of neurons affects the pace of learning. We

need external stimuli in order to acquire learning experience and

the gain will result in connections of dendrites and axons. With

more neurons, the speed of connection will be faster and make

a person a quick learner. Learners with less neuron can also

reach a certain level via repeated practice.

TRC Learning pace Suggest

< 60 Rather slow To learn better, these learners need stable and familiar learning environment and they should employ appropriate learning methods and practise regularly.60 - 90 Slow

90 - 150 NormalThese learners’ performance depends on adequate external stimuli and guidance.

150 - 190 Fast

These learners’ attention is easily diverted. To arouse their interest, it would be better to teach them with multiple approaches.

> 190 Very fastThese learners should lead a full life in order to exploit their potential.

Guide to the Report

Less Developed Neuron

Rich learning experience changes the appearance of brain cells: The picture above shows the look of brain cells of four different stages. The number of neurons remains unchanged but the network of dendrites expands along with a person’s growth and increasing external stimuli.

Newly-born 1 Month Old

6 Month Old 2 Years old

Useful learning experience can only be obtained from positive

learning environment which is secure, relaxing, liberal, and full of

novelties and challenges. Hence, if we want to be “smarter”, we

are required not only to maintain original connections between

brain cells but also to nourish our brain constantly with new

learning experience which expands the network of dendrites.

Page 5: Discover My Talents E.pdfTest for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other areas. According to brief surveys,

2. Examine the Agility of Learning with ATD Angle

atd angle The Agility of Learning

< 35° Very Good

35° - 42° Good

42° - 45° Moderate

45° - 56° Poor

> 56° Very Poor

The value of ATD angle reflects the smoothness of body

movement and coordination (e.g. the dexterity of fingers). This

value is more important to athletes.

Generally speaking, this value is not directly related to

congenital intellectual abilities. Besides, ATD angle will reduce

slightly after long-term training of your palms.

3. Distribution and Strength of Congenital Intellectual Abilities

The computer system will generate a table showing the order

of the strength of every intellectual ability, to which different

finger corresponds. It also provide a general picture of how well

different brain lobe functions and the development potential of

each intellectual ability.

Strength Level Suggestion

> 13% Great

If the learner is guided properly, it is very probable for him to achieve high level in this area with his potential if compared to others.

11% - 13% Superior

If the learner is guided properly, he is able to grasp skills and knowledge of this area quickly and efficiently.

7% - 11% Average The learner can learn well without much difficulty in this area.

< 7%Enhance-ment is needed

The learner do not have inborn advantage in this area but he is able to make a breakthrough if cultivated properly since young.

NilVarious possibilities

The learner’s performance in this area, which may turn out to be extremely good or bad, depends greatly on his learning environment and education.

“Ranking”, an item which is found in the table of “Distribution

and Strength of Congenital Intellectual Abilities”, shows the

order of the strength of different intellectual ability. The value of

“Strength” is obtained from the comparison of the “Total Ridge

Count” with our statistical database. “Strength” is divided into

five levels, with “10%” as the median.

4. Innate Learning Modes: Ways of Absorbing and

Processing Information

There are three learning modes: visual, auditory, and

kinaesthetic. When learning something new, some learners

learn by doing but some other learners, who rely on seeing or

listening, can only apply new knowledge in their daily life after

going through a digestive process of classification, analysis, and

deduction.

By understanding our preferred learning mode, we are able to

learn better and even get twice the result with half the effort.

5. Identify Innate Learning Style with Patterns of Fingerprint

The pattern of each fingerprint reveals many features of

the corresponding brain lobe. Our centre’s categorization

of fingerprints is based on “Henry System of Fingerprint

Classification” proposed by E.R. Henry, a British scholar.

Learnig style Symbol Characteristics

Under-standing Learne Head: Thinking

independently

These learners prefer individual work. They learn by analysing, reordering, and abstract thinking.

Inter-personal Learner

Heart: Sharing feelings with others

These learners prefer group work and they always care about others’ feelings. They learn by discussing issues or sharing ideas with others.

Self-expressive Learner Eye: Having

unique opinion

These learners are creative. They learn through exploratory and inspiring activities.

Mastery Learner

Hand: Doing things manually

These learners prefer concrete and realistic objects. They learn well with clear step-by-step guidance.

Page 6: Discover My Talents E.pdfTest for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other areas. According to brief surveys,

To understand a person’s major innate learning style,

we mainly look at fingerprints of four fingers—thumb and

forefinger of both hands. An analysis of all fingers is required for

knowing the “learning style of the whole brain.” Each pattern of

fingerprint corresponds to a type of learning style. According to

educational theory, by understanding how we learn, we are able

to learn more effectively.

The 11 patterns of fingerprint classified by E.R. Henry: Ridges on the skin of our palms and soles begin to take shape after the 13th week embryos grow in maternal body. The formation of those fine dermal lines will be completed during the 24th week and they will stay unchanged for the whole life. The formation of dermal ridges is correlated with the development of our brain.

6. Distinguish Innate Behavioural Manner with Patterns

of Fingerprint

By understanding his behavioural manner, a person can

know the way he treats people, conduct himself in a group,

and communicate with others. With these insights, his career

performance will be enhanced as he will know how to better his

interaction with others.

7. Analyse the Development Potential of Eight Multiple

Intelligences

Howard Gardner proposed the theory of “mul t ip le

intelligences” in year 1983. Instead of judging a person’s

intelligence by his IQ (Intelligence Quotient), a criterion which

was traditionally used, he divided our intellectual abilities into

eight categories.

Our actions and decisions are determined by different regions

of our brain and their collaboration. Dermatoglyphic test helps us

to understand the distribution of congenital multiple intelligences

in a systematic and reliable way. As a result, we can adjust

ourselves to learn better and lead a more pleasurable life.

Page 8: Discover My Talents E.pdfTest for Congenital Multiple Intelligences has been introduced into China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and other areas. According to brief surveys,

Case Studies

Case 1

A tutor brings her student, Wong, to our centre for the test.

Wong is an 8-year-old boy whose academic results are poor.

TRC

206

Intellectual Abilities Ranking Strength

Creative/Interpersonal 10 7.0%

Spatial/Mental-imaging 2 11.1%

Logical/Reasoning 1 12.1%

Handling/Coordinating 9 8.2%

According to the report, Wong’s TRC value is 206, which

means his learning potential is high. Besides, the strength of

Wong’s different intellectual abilities is quite even.

Obviously, Wong’s high learning ability is the reason for his

lack of motivation to learn. As most subjects are not interesting

and challenging to him, he does not pay much attention to

them.

After talking with the tutor in detail, we understand that Wong’

s parents have divorced. That is why he lacks a sense of

security and cannot concentrate on his study.

Stable environment is crucial children’s learning. Children

will only open their minds and hearts in an environment without

threat and disturbance. Those with high TRC value can absorb

both good and bad things quickly. Hence, if they encounter

negative experience in their process of growing up, the

emotional damage will be more severe to them.

Therefore, in order to prevent Wong from being helpless and

to assist him to get through this period, his family members and

teachers should provide sufficient love and support.

Case 2

Alex, an 8-year-old boy, hates doing homework. As his writing

is always crabbed, his teacher and mother think that he should

be more patient and focused when he writes. While lack of

concentration is one of the reasons for children’s writing illegibly,

we must not neglect the fact that some of them are having

learning disorder about writing.

atd

left/50 right/52

Intellectual Abilities Ranking Strength

Handling/Coordinating 10 6.5%

From Alex’s report, we find that his ATD angle is quite wide

and his palm muscles are not well-developed. Thus, he is

not good at executing tasks that requires dexterity of fingers,

for example, handicraft. To help him overcome this problem,

we advise Alex to use “triangular pencil”. The stick of this

kind of pencil is triangle in shape and thicker if compared

to other pencils. Learners with wide ATD angle can hold

them comfortably and write smoothly. Parents should bear in

mind that attractive handwriting is not the ultimate objective

for learning. They should not care too much about this.

Furthermore, as they move up, more tasks are to be done with

computer.

Case 3

Wayne is a fifth-grade primary school student. According to

his mother, his academic results were good and consistent from

grade one to grade three. However, his mathematics results

dropped suddenly last year.

Intellectual Abilities Ranking Strength

Logical/Reasoning 1 12.6%

Linguistic/Memory 10 6.5%

Wayne’s “superior intellectual ability” is “Logical/Reasoning”

but his “Linguistic/Memory” ranks tenth. In theory, he should

have no problem with the calculation. It is just that he does not

excel in language.

As we know, there are more practical questions in maths

exercises of grade four and above. Wayne’s inabil ity to

answer those questions is originated from his poor reading

comprehension. Instead of improving his arithmetical ability, he

should pay more efforts in language in order to get rid of the

barrier.

Case 4

Sue, who is 18 years old, has just completed her secondary-

school education. Her parents plan to send her abroad and ask

her to major in accountancy. However, she shows no interest

in her parents’ arrangement. Her wish, which is not meeting her

parents’ expectation, is to further her study in art. Whenever her

parents mention issues about choosing university or handling

relevant procedure, she always reacts passively.

Intellectual Abilities Ranking Strength

Spatial/Mental-imaging 4 10.7%

Kinesthetic/Artistic 2 11.1%

Visual/Cognitive 2 11.1%

Observing/Reading 1 11.4%

Case 5

Jenny’s mother thinks that she is a smart kid. However,

she often loses her focus during lessons. Whenever people

talk to her, it seems that she does not fully understand them.

From Jenny’s report, we know that she is a visual learner. That

means she learns best by seeing images, observing, imitating,

and reading. Her parents should provide adequate training to

improve her listening skill.

Suitable Career Paths arranged according to their ranking

Sue’s “superior intellectual abilities” are “Spatial/Mental-

imaging”, “Kinesthetic/Art ist ic”, “Visual/Cognit ive”, and

“Observing/Reading”. Apparently, she possesses aptitude for

art. Majoring in art fits not only her interest but also her flair.

Before being shown the results of the test, her parents try to

persuade her to choose “promising courses” which may enable

her to earn more money in the future. They ask her, “Why didn’

t we see any excellent performance of yours in fine art?” She

responds, “You have never looked at my textbooks. I’ve drawn

many beautiful illustrations in them.”

If parents and the child seldom communicate in depth with

each other, this report can serve as a helpful reference for

making important decisions about the child’s future, for example,

choosing major. As this report is scientific and objective, it can

clear parent’s doubts, resolve disagreement, and help parents

and the child to make the best choice together.

Listening alone is never enough for Jenny to fully grasp the

meaning of a piece of information. She needs something, for

example, a picture or a book, to look at or read.

We advise her to prepare a notebook and bring it along with

her. When she learns something new, she can draw picture

or jot down notes with symbols that she understands. When

reading a book, she can mark those important points with a

highlighter. Colours will enhance her pleasure of learning. In

addition, we suggest her to use table, graph, and flowchart to

sort out pieces of information when she grows older as these

methods will help her to learn more effectively.

On the other hand, children need to be praised when they

are learning. For visual learners, verbal praises would not really

motivate them. They need tangible rewards. A practical way is

to prepare a “Reward Book” which is used to compliment their

good behaviours, for example, waking up punctually, completing

homework on time, and picking up toys. Parents can reward

them with little stars or stickers.

1. What is “Dermatoglyphic Test for Congenital Multiple

Intelligences”?

This is a scientific test for congenital intellectual abilities which

is based on our physiological features.

First of all, we take fingerprints of all fingers. After that, we

calculate the “Total Ridge Count” and compare the value with

our large database. With the comparison, we are able to carry

out statistical analysis of a person’s learning potential, strength

of different intellectual ability (altogether 10 abilities, including

interpersonal, managerial, logical, linguistic, and artistic), learning

style, and many more.

Hence, dermatoglyphic test can prevent mistakes which may

be caused by cultural differences or verbal misunderstanding

in IQ test which only reveals a person’s linguistic and logical-

mathematical abilities.

2. What is the difference between dermatoglyphic test

and fortune-telling?

Dermatoglyphic test and palm reading are based on dermal

lines on palms and both of them are people’s attempts to

uncover a person’s “destiny”. Naturally, people may have the

misunderstanding that two of them are in the same category.

In fact, dermatoglyphic test, which analyse people’s congenital

features, is completely different from fortune-telling or palm

reading, which predicts people’s future.

Dermatoglyphic test is grounded on solid theoretical

framework and large database of samples. Hence, you should

not treat the test as a kind of fortune-telling. You should hold

positive attitude toward the test and accept the result with an

open mind.

3. Dermatoglyphic test reveals a child’s congenital

intellectual abilities. Does the test imply that his or

her life is predetermined?

Of course not. On the contrary, a child’s future development

is totally determined by himself and his parents. If a child’s

logical-reasoning ability is weak but his parents give up nurturing

his skill in this area considering the difficulty for him to improve,

we might well say that it is his fate regretfully. However, if his

parents are positive and make up strategy to help him overcome

his disadvantage, we will regard him as a success delightfully.

Frequently Asked Questions

4. Is the test accurate?

Generally, the accuracy of the test is about 80%. Factors

which may cause error are as follows:

1) The test is based on statistical database. Therefore, inductive

error is inevitable.

2) Human brain is a complex structure. If compared to it, dermal

ridges on our skin are just simple shapes. As fingerprints

cannot reflect all features of our brain, there must be some

gaps in the test.

5. What positive ideas should people have for the test?

No doubt, this test is a high-quality tool for examining

congenital intellectual ability. However, with the right spirit, we

must admit that the test has its boundaries. We hope that the

public will not have any unrealistic expectation for the test.

1) Scientific research on congenital intellectual ability is

based on the brain map. At the moment, we still have not

fully understood all functions of the brain and scientists

are striving to investigate those details. Along with the

latest development, we will amend and improve the test

continuously.

2) Most results are within the normal range. This explains that

most of us are ordinary people.

3) No matter a person’s congenital intellectual abilities are

strong or weak, learning environment and education that

he obtains are more important to his future development.

Some scholars hold the view that 65% of a person’s life is

decided by his after-born experience. Hence, this test can

never replace roles played by parents, teachers, physicians,

psychoanalysts, and coaches.

6. When should a child do the test?

There is no age limit for doing the test. In principle, the earlier

a child does the test, the better his parents can make plans for

overcoming his weakness.

According to the development of a child’s brain, we suggest

that parents should focus on tasks that help children improve

their weaker intellectual ability before they are 12 years old. As

this is their golden period for learning, it is easier for them to turn

their weakness into strength effectively.

��

7. Why may adults find that the test is inaccurate?

While our “superior intellectual ability” may be suppressed

due to social value or our parents’ expectation, our “inferior

intellectual ability” may be improved because of continuous

practice. Hence, if a person is not educated according to his

nature and aptitude, it is normal for him to find that the result

of the report, which analyses his congenital features, does not

match his current abilities and position in life.

The difference between the result and reality highlights the

value of Dermatoglyphic Test of Congenital Multiple Intelligences.

We should be more open-minded and consider the test as a

way to know more about ourselves.

8. Then, is it still meaningful for adults to do the test?

The value for adults to do the test is different from children’s.

People who lose their direction in life may need an objective

and reliable report telling them what their inborn advantages are.

In real life, some people only unlock and fulfil their full potential

(most in the arts) after their retirement. Hence, it is never too late

to start a whole new life.

On the other hand, those who have planned their life nicely

and lived accordingly can obtain more convincing confirmation

of their success from the report. “Marvellous! I’ve reached my

potential and I’m leading a full life now.”

9. Dermal ridges on the skin of our soles are not

examined. Is the test incomplete?

No, it is not. The test is complete because we only need to

take fingerprints in order to understand a person’s congenital

intellectual abilities. However, that does not mean dermal lines

on our soles are useless. We can identify some hereditary

diseases by examining ridges on the skin of both our palms

and soles. As we are unable to diagnose people’s illness and

provide treatment, we do not examine soles. We only do what

we can do and do our best.

10. Why is the Intelli-Quest Dermatoglyphic Test for
