Abstract
The fingerprints patterns have been studied of dermatoglyphics of a sample of (160) person(80) for each sex, where the qualitative analysis has shown some differences in the frequencies of patterns among the studied samples and for each sex separately. The frequency of arches and whorls has increased for the male sample of the clever students(31&150) compared with the control sample of males(22 &147) respectively. Whereas the frequency of arches and the ulnar loops in the clever female samples(66&215) compared with the control sample of females(24&193) respectively. Theses differences have reached the significant level when using the Chi Square (χ2) to compare the two female samples where its value is (34.518) under the probability of (0.001)and the differences were not significant when using it with the two male samples. As regards the quantitative analysis of the dermatoglyphics in the finger tips, it is found that the clever males carry the highest mean compared with the control males and for the two analyses, the unilateral and bilateral analyses. As for the clever female samples, the result was the anticlockwise to what is found in the male sample, where they possessed a lesser mean than the female control sample and for the two analyses, the unilateral and the bilateral. When using t-test for comparison of the two female samples, they are found that their value equals(2.519) under the probability of (0.025) for the unilateral analysis, and the value equals(2.659) under the probability of (0.025) for the bilateral analysis. The differences did no reach the significant level when used to compare the two male samples.
