Of all the body parts that we regularly nourish and take care of, the thumb is probably one of the last on our minds — second only to, say, the big toe or the earlobe. It’s there, it’s useful, and it’s a huge part of our day, but our thumbs aren’t exactly vital life organs, or even beauty symbols that we must maintain. However, don’t dismiss your thumbs so easily — there might be more to them then you think. Below, we look a the two different types of thumbs and examine what, if anything, they say about your personality. The long and short of it is that your thumb either bends or it doesn’t, and depending on what kind of thumb you have, you might be a certain kind of person. Skeptical? We were too. But take a look at the thumb personality outlines below, and just see if yours fits. You might be surprised to see how accurate it is.But what most people don’t know is that in addition to giving a killer thumbs up, our thumbs can determine our personality.
Prepared to be educated on a topic you never knew you always wanted to know, because this is pretty thumb-believable.
The bones on top of your fingers are called the phalanges, then there’s the metacarpals and the carpals. Clearly, your thumb is the shortest of the bunch.
There’s no bend to the bones at all, and the thumb doesn’t even slightly retract backwards over the knuckle.
The straight thumb could mean that you’re a more serious person than most. Though you don’t show your excitability, it doesn’t mean you’re a downer.
This guy’s straight thumb tells us that he might be thinking something but not saying it — and his devilish face confirms that theory, in our expert thumb-pinions.
His thumb is as straight as they come, which totally fits the prescribed personality type: No nonsense, and rarely to give away a smile.
Our thumbs bend backwards, sometimes quite far, so the phalange is basically perpendicular to the metacarpal.
But what could the bend say about your personality?
You’re lively and are likely to be the life of the party, entertaining people wherever you go.
Having a curved thumb doesn’t mean you can’t be serious.
In fact, they tend to compliment one another.
After all, when it comes down to it, we are more than just a couple of thumbs — curved, straight, or otherwise. If life boiled down to simply that, it would be pretty thumb-fortunate.
Are you the seriously straight-thumbed type, or the animated, curved, life of the thumb party? Check out those phalanges if your personality fits the mold.
