Know your Child better with Thumbrule DMIT

Know your child better with ThumbRule

Every child has his/her own individual way of learning and understanding things around them. It is not an easy thing for parents to get to know each of their own children. Sometimes it takes them years to understand the character and inclinations of their children, and sometimes they never really know why their children are the way they are.

In order for children's behavior to develop in the right way, ThumbRule has introduced the DMI (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence) technology, a unique & scientific method developed out of the study of fingerprint patterns analysis. From researches and observations on seven million fingerprint samples documented, compiled, and put together with psychological theories, the program can explain any children's character, improve parent-child communication and relation, and help parents to raise their children more successfully by bringing out the best abilities in them, guiding them in doing what they love to do, developing their best potentials, and making them happy children who will grow up to be quality adults.

Discover your child's Hidden talent, likings & potential according to the Multiple Intelligence Theory of Prof. Howard Gardner, educational psychologist at Harvard University, and learn about the unique functions of the human brain's right and left hemispheres, after the findings of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Roger W. Sperry. It will also tell you the preferred Learning style & Communication character of your child.This is the first time that the DMI technology is introduced into India, then assessed and summarized in a report by experts of ThumbRule technologies. The technology will be brought to light here and explained clearly in consultation sessions, so that parents will come to a correct understanding before they put the knowledge to use with their children. The aim is for parents to bring up children who are happy in what they do and what they will become.

It has helped lakhs of students in past 10 years, in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, taiwan

DMIT will reveal following information about your child

  1. Intrinsic potential
  2. Multiple Intelligence Distribution
  3. Dominant and Preferred Learnig Style
  4. Learning Communication Character
  5. Allocation of various abilities
  6. Psychological & Planning Capability
  7. Learning Sensitivity
  8. Innate Work - Management style

Need for DMIT Concept in India

Above 12,000 students commit suicides in India due to exam relates stress.

Is our educational system and parenting style going horribly wrong somewhere?
Are we stressing our children too much?

DMIT helps you understand the behavioural characteristics & communication needs of your child...! This goes a long way in reducing stress in children...!

The 8 Multiple Intelligences

  1. Visual - Spatial
  2. Verbal - Linguistic
  3. logical - Mathematical
  4. Bodily - Kinesthetic
  5. Musical - Rhythmic
  6. Inter-personal
  7. Intra-personal

Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence- Thumbrule DMIT

INTRODUCTION OF DERMATOGLYPHICS

Dermatoglyphics is the study of ridged skin patterns (also known as dermatoglyphs) which can be found on fingers, palms, toes and soles. These patterns are formed from the external ectoderm and usually occur during the fetal development stage, 13 to 19 weeks after fertilization. Through research, geneticists have proven that dermatoglyph formations are controlled by chromosomes, and the patterns are influenced by polygenetic inheritance. These genes do not exhibit dominance, and they are very resistant to acquired changes from the environment. Using their morphologies, the patterns can be classified into two categories, namely “ridges” and “furrows”. During the seventh week of pregnancy, vertical thumb creases (thenar contours) begins to appear on the palm of the embryo. Two weeks later, remote and proximal horizontal creases (hypothenar contours) begin to form.

Hirsch and Schweicher discovered that prior to the formation of dermatoglyphs, the dermal nerves and blood vessels are arranged in an orderly fashion. This led them to believe that the nervous and vascular systems determine the formation of dermatoglyphs. Consequently, they also established the correlation between the dermatoglyphic patterns and one’s personalities.

From the anatomical point of view, the human hands dominate all other organs in terms of relative importance. This is why the brain dedicates the majority of approximately two hundred million nerve endings to the hands. In other words, the hands are sources of physiological and psychological information waiting to be tapped, hence the increasing importance in the field of dermatoglyphics.

DERMATOGLYPHICS VS MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

The development of fingerprints and the human brain is synchronous, between the 13th and 19th prenatal week. Through clinical trials, 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.

Linguistic / Verbal Intelligence
Ability to use language as a means to express thoughts and gain understanding.
People with high linguistic intelligence like to read, write, discuss and expand their vocabulary at the same time.
Desired occupations include lawyers, orators, writers, talk show hosts, editors, sociologists or social science lecturers.

Naturalistic Intelligence
Ability to observe and develop keen interests on the ecosystem.Occupations which requries high level of naturalistic intelligence include hunters, ecologists, biologists, taxonomists, agriculturists and even astronomers.
Solitary / Intrapersonal Intelligence
Ability to be aware of one’s inner strengths and weaknesses,emotions, interests and ambitions. People who reflect on themselves tend to keep diary records and engage in self thoughts. They are also intuitive and capable of deep contemplations.
Suitable occupations include counsellors,theologists,autobiographers, creative entrepreneurs, inventor, critics or scholars.
Social / Interpersonal Intelligence
Highly empathic and aware of other people’s motives, feelings and emotions.
People with high interpersonal intelligence usually have a wide social network, inclined to participate in group activities and tend to hold key leadership positions.
Suitable occupations include politicians, entrepreneurs, public relations experts, spiritual leaders, teachers or psychologists.
Visual / Spatial Intelligence
People with high visio-spatial intelligence are proficient map readers, like to draw, play with puzzles and labyrinths.
They have good perception of space, lines, shapes and colours. Besides they have excellent sense of direction.
Desired occupations include architects, artists, landscapers and other related fields.
Bodily-Kinesthetics Intelligence
Fond of outdoor adventures and physical activities. People with high kinesthetic intelligence are dextrous, capable of excellent control of their body parts and skilled crafters.
Suitable occupations include athletes, sculptors, surgeons, dancers or stageplayers.
Auditory / Musical Intelligence
Fond of outdoor adventures and physical activities. People with high kinesthetic intelligence are dextrous, capable of excellent control of their body parts and skilled crafters.
Suitable occupations include athletes, sculptors, surgeons, dancers or stageplayers.
Mathematical / Logical Intelligence
This intelligence consists of advanced calculations, categorisations, summarising and assumption skills.
Occupations that require high levels of mathematical and logical intelligence include mathematicians, taxers, accountants.

DERMATOGLYPHICS vs PERSONALITY


Cognitive

self-discovery in pursuit of knowledge i.e. will take own initiative to see knowledge and find answer
somewhat self-centred, difficulty in communication i.e. strong believer in own beliefs and knowledge found; need to allow him to self-discover own mistakes and wrong answers
need to be motivated with a reason to learn, with a clear goal; allow more thinking & give less answers
self-motivated with own achievements
demand space and respect in communication and decision
high ego and highly prideful of self
discourage harsh punishment but allow self-learning from mistakes
Affective

self-discovery through modifications and leveraging on existing materials i.e. learning of new subjects/topics is preferred to be example based
leverage and learn from the media – newspaper, films, magazines etc.
motivated through reading of famous biographies
organised and planned with guided examples
quiet achiever but thrive on being appreciated by others; give regular encouragement to instil feel-good factor in learning and improve motivation
Reflective

open-minded, able to absorb a lot but not necessarily understanding all
need patience with continuous repetition in the accumulation of knowledge
best if given 1-1 focused learning/coaching
clear reward and punishment method to drive improvement, to meet objectives
motivated by philosophical ideas and objectives
need to plan daily activities; need to reflect on daily activities
Critical















































creative, love challenges, very competitive
thrive on setting new standards and challenges
coached by reverse reasoning and using reverse psychology
use stages and points accumulation to achieve reward
motivated by challenges
allow self-plan and self-managed







DERMATOGLYPHICS vs LEARNING STYLE

Individual learning styles and characteristics consist of three factors:
1. What is the easiest method for you to acquire information?
2. How do you organize, process and filter information?
3. What environments and conditions affect your learning process?

New York Saint John University Ken & Rita Dunn conducted research on students’ learning styles. They discovered that about 30% of the students still recalled 75% of the lecture content after a session. To achieve the same retention rate, about 40% of the students need to read through the content (including words and illustrations), about 15% needs physical stimuli and the remaining 15% needs bodily-kinesthetics learning experiences.

Therefore, it is inferred that individual learning styles are different. Nevertheless, traditional teaching methods tend to use only one teaching style to cater for all. For students who have visual and auditory learning styles, this method is extremely effective. However, this is at the expense of students with other learning styles. It is recommended that individual learning styles be identified as early as possible. Then, they should be put into an environment which suits their learning styles so that the learning process could be efficient and effective.
