Many Parents Use Dermatoglyphics Testing to Understand Their Children's Tendencies, Interests, Intelligence, and Learning Abilities, but How Reliable Is It? This article provides an overview of the costs, procedures, methods, and locations for dermatoglyphics testing to help parents better understand this technique.
Dermatoglyphics testing analyzes the patterns and shapes of fingerprints and palm prints to assess intelligence and potential. Similar to traditional palmistry, it claims to be grounded in scientific evidence. Proponents argue that the test can analyze genetic traits and brain development to identify an individual's learning areas and characteristics. The testing process is relatively simple and safe, taking about 8 to 12 minutes to collect fingerprint and palm patterns using instruments and water-based ink. The entire process typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes and can be conducted at various locations. The purpose of the test is to help parents understand their children's innate and acquired differences early, aiding in future educational planning.

The cost of dermatoglyphics testing generally ranges from NT$2,000 to NT$3,000, depending on the testing equipment and the content of the report. The report often includes information on intelligence, learning styles, and thinking abilities, serving as a reference tool for parents.

However, while dermatoglyphics testing is supported by some scientific data, it should not be overly relied upon. Science is static, while the human brain develops dynamically. Environmental factors and life experiences can significantly influence an individual's potential and development. In summary, parents can use the results of dermatoglyphics testing as an educational reference, but the most important factor remains to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for their children's growth.
