Dermatoglyphics Multiple intelligence Test introduced by KOGNISENCE, is a set of assessment systems developed by scientists and medical experts based on Genetics, Embryology, Dermatoglyphics, Neuroscience and Pediatric Psychology through methods of observation, record, comparison and summarization in combination with clinical experience. In 1926, Dr. Harold Cummins coined the word ‘Dermatoglyphics’ - the scientific study of skin ridge patterns found on the palms of human hands. Dr. Cummins achieved world recognition as the “Father of Dermatoglyphics”. The findings of his lifetime studies and the techniques he developed, known as the Cummins Methodology, are accepted as important tools in tracing genetic and evolutionary relationship. This methodology has gained common usage in diagnosis of some types of mental retardation, schizophrenia, etc.

Dr. Howard Gardner, a renowned scientist, psychologist & educationist, is the Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero

The author of over twenty books translated into twenty-seven languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” proposed in 1983, which has been widely accepted by science all over the world.

He proposed these 8 abilities in his theory:

Medical experts, through observation, recording, comparison, induction and clinical trials confirmed that fingerprints provide accurate analysis of a person’s inborn talents. The assessment system analyses the distribution of brain’s learning capacity and allocation of cerebral function of an individual and provides relevant statisticalreport of individual’s innate intelligence. Hence, it allows development of the individual in realm of dominant intelligence.

This can help the guide/mentor to understand the innate characteristics and effective communication mode of the individual. It will provide them the most appropriate learning habits from young age and improve learning ability effectively. It can also help the guide/mentor to discover the potential of the individual and understand the development of multiple intelligence. Thus, it will be easy to improve their weakness during learning process, in order to achieve all round development.

Lastly we would like to convey the message to all Guides/Mentors and Individuals that the aim of this test is to allow you to fully understand and respect individual differences of each person and provide education and/or training accordingly. The vital factor of an individual’s intelligence is determined by “neural network connection of brain cells”. It is not only congenital nor destiny, but also largely determined by acquired environmental stimulation and early learning.
