Personality tests shed light on something new about ourselves. Some are based on scientific studies, such as the Myers-Briggs test, while others are more subjective. The personality test below was discovered in South Korea. It is derived from the ancient practice of palmistry, however, in this test, the basics of a personality type can be deciphered from just one variable - the pinky finger. And though it may be small, it is believed that your pinky can speak volumes about your personality as a whole, especially with regard to the ways that you communicate and interact with the world around you.
