Professor Li Mai Jin, a renowned criminologist and child-rearing expert in China, has shared on a TV show that one can assess a child’s IQ by observing their hands.
Li says a child’s intelligence can be seen through their hands. It may sound far-fetched, but it’s true. A child’s hand has many sensory nerves, so even their fingers can perform many movements. And these movements need to be coordinated with the brain to be executed.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the more complex and rapid the hand movements, the greater the brain stimulation, and the more compatible response is required from the brain.
According to Li, whether a child’s IQ is high or not, one can tell just by looking at the following three signs of their hands:
1. Flexible fingers
Some children suck their fingers from a very young age, but some others can only do this when they get a little older. Although it is a simple movement, it is not easy for children, and the earlier a child can do it, the more intelligent they are.
2. Good hands-on ability
If your child likes to do crafts and do things themselves, such as disassembling machines, congratulations, your child is very intelligent.
3. Artistic talent
Many parents get upset by their child’s scribbles all over the house and even give them a stern no-no. However, parents need to remember that many intelligent children have a talent for “drawing”.
