Business Opportunity

Indian Population

Current Population of India in 2010 is around 1,150,000,000 (1.15 billion) people.India has an astonishing demographic dividend where more than 50% of its population is below the age of 25.

Year in year out, we see huge crowd coming out from schools and colleges and the tussle over the entries to professional courses and jobs applications are our never ending journey. Everyone knows the need to have an education to success, or should i say,

Education Is The First Step Towards Success”.

Due to our circumstances and our educational system here in India, there is need to excel and obtain good grades in order to qualify for any professional course. Analysis states that, an average family spend on tuition a fee per month is about Rs. 2000.00 in Metros for class 10th and 12 th.

India requires $400bn investment in education sector: Sibal


Nonetheless, our education sector has projected $50 bln market opportunity by 2015 for whoever want a piece of the pie.

The waves are roaring on our Indian shore now, ThumbRule Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) is the GOLDEN opportunity awaiting for you.

Parents are flocking to endless educational centers to get their children to learn whatever they think can make them a genius.

Sad thing here is that the poor child and the parents both are exhausted because of this educational demand.

Not knowing of their child talents, potential and intelligences, most children are over stressed on unnecessary learning skills and many take the exit because they are no longer interested in it.

Now both the child as well as parents feel devastated, disappointed. Neither the child nor the parents feel overjoyed here, time spent, money diminished and knowledge they gained is questionable... yes, a question mark (?)

Here, ThumbRule DMIT a revolutionary system helps individuals identify their innate (inborn) talents.

A Scientific Biometric Based Assessment Program which has more than 90% accuracy that identifies the most prevalent human intrinsic potential with the theory of human genetic inheritance.

Through decades of research, scientists have found relationship between our fingerprints and brain lobes.

The system introduces Work Management Style, 3 Learning Style and 8 Multiple Intelligences, 10 Intrinsic potential of Brain and Learning Sensitivity Index. With thousands of possible combinations, it reveals how they can best be translated into education, personal and careers success.

Multiple Intelligences

The IQ (Intelligence Quotient) has become accepted (erroneously) as the way to measure a person's intelligence. This single figure with the value of 100 as average (what is average, anyway?) has created more problems than it solves.

Human intelligence has many dimensions, and this article explores Howard Gardner's notion of Multiple Intelligences.

Notes from Brain Dancing by Dilip Mukerjea:

According to Professor Howard Gardner of Harvard University, there are at least eight different kinds of human intelligence. There could in fact be more intelligences, and further investigation into their existence continues with great vigour.

Gardner's contention is that individuals possess these eight intelligences to varying extents. The first seven intelligences were addressed in Gardner's book "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences", initially published in 1983.

The eighth intelligence, "naturalist" was introduced recently, and another, "spiritual", is under consideration for inclusion into the list of classified ones.

Interestingly, Gardiner does not isolate a creative intelligence, unlike Buzan and Keene, who include this amongst one of the ten intelligences classified in the book "Buzan's book of Genius". Yet the creative vein does weave through all of Gardner's intelligences. This means that recognition of our strengths and weaknesses in the different intelligences impinges directly on our ability to generate creative outcomes in various domains.

Gardner's studies of the "creative" personality document that certain personality traits - such as ego strength and willingness to defy tradition - characterise outstanding creative individuals within a particular domain; they also help to explain the lack of a relationship between scores on creativity measures and scores on more conventional tests of intellectual strengths, at least about a certain level of IQ. Gardner's investigations are also being directed to the role played by different intelligences, and different combinations of intelligences, in the highest orders of human creative achievement.

Traditional IQ tests only measure two intelligences - linguistic and logical-mathematical, and later extended to include spatial intelligence. We still do not see a balanced picture of an individual after an IQ test since the majority of categorised intelligences have not been considered.

In his book "Creating Minds: An Anatomy of Creativity", Gardner has selected seven individuals, each one's life lending significance to creativity and intelligence. Charles Darwin has been added to the list, and represents the eighth (naturalist) intelligence. All the individuals are from the same era.

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.
