The question

What is the ruling on personality analysis or multiple intelligences through fingerprints, which is not based on astrology or fortune-telling, but rather by scanning fingerprints and then reading them via a computer to provide a detailed and accurate analysis of personality, skills, and suitable specializations?

The answer

Personality analysis through fingerprints, known as DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test), is not a reliable scientific field. The problem lies in the fact that fingerprints are not linked to a genetic makeup that can be used for personality analysis. Such matters are considered a forbidden form of divination (kahana), which leads individuals to false perceptions of themselves and others. It is impermissible to believe in or act upon them, even if some coincidences are found between them and reality.
