Finger length predicts mental toughness in sport

Finger length predicts mental toughness in sport
Mental toughness and an aptitude for sport may be biologically determined.

Previous research has shown that the 2D:4D ratio (index finger/ring finger) has the potential to explain sporting success. An index finger that is much shorter than the ring finger is caused by exposure to testosterone in the womb. This research investigated the relationship between 2D:4D and mental toughness, optimism, aggression and performance.
