The development of fingerprints and the human brain is synchronous, between the 13th and 19th prenatal week. Through clinical trails, the fingerprints and multiple intelligences are absolutely related. Dr. Howard Gardner discovered that multiple intelligences are correlated to specific regions in the neocortex. This enables dermatoglyphics to identify the presence and magnitudes of these multiple intelligences at the early stages of childhood development. Equipped with this invaluable information, our children will have the competitive edge in identifying and enhancing their multiple intelligences.
