What do fingerprints say about us?


Every person born on this planet inherits individual characteristic patterns and a unique set of fingerprints, the main feature that sets us apart from one another. The total world population is beyond 8 billion, with a 0.88% increase since 2022, and all the people in this world remain to have different fingerprint patterns. No two are the same.

Scientists have proven that there is a connection between the makeup of our brain and fingerprint patterns. After about ten weeks of growth, a deep layer of skin, called the basal layer, starts growing faster than the layers above; this process makes the skin buckle and fold. The expanding lower layer ends up creased beneath the outside layer. These folds eventually cause the surface layers of the skin to fold as well, so by the time the fetus is seventeen weeks old, its fingerprints are set.

Fingerprint patterns reveal much about our inborn personality, learning capabilities, behavior, strengths, and limitations. Scientists have also proven that those with underdeveloped fingerprints suffer from a genetic disorder. 


There are mainly three types of fingerprints and more than thirteen subtypes. Here, we will show the three main patterns.

Loop - 60 to 65% of the population has loops, often with an average aptitude, and are pleasant and even-tempered. Other characteristics include solid opinions and respect for others, being pleased to go with the flow, and generally being content in life. “Loopers” also tend to make excellent partners and employees because of their easygoing demeanor and leadership skills. However, they are on the unorganized side, but they can embrace change and have a good work ethic.

Whorl - 30 to 35% of the population has whorls, Often above average in intelligence and independence with a dominant personality. A whorl on the thumb indicates a high intellect and a strong will. Whorls on both thumbs may indicate a controlling nature or lack of emotional flexibility.

Arch - A 5% of the population has an arch pattern, often analytical, cautious, and practical, with a strong sense of traditional values; however, they do not like change. “Archers” can be challenging to get along with as they are very set in their own ways and yearn for a high level of methodology.
