FINGERPRINT STUDY OF 1000 SINGAPOREANS SHOWS HIGH SELF-MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE TRAITS: BRILLIANAIRE

Published

on

Brillianaire’s dermatoglyphic personality and potential testing uncovers major personality traits of Singaporeans across all agesSingapore firm believes such data will help Singapore chart a better future by tapping on its strongest resource: people

SINGAPORE, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Brillianaire, Singapore’s first self-development consultancy to use dematoglyphics services extensively for children and adults, has for the first time, collated data collected from more than 1,000 Singaporeans to provide a preliminary indication of what drives its citizens.

Singapore’s true wealth lies in its people and the founding father of Singapore, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, would be heartened to know that three generations of talent cultivation and training have cultivated a population with exceptional resilience and high intrapersonal intelligence, as shown through a fingerprint analysis of its citizens.  

Brillianaire’s sample size of 1,000 dermatoglyphics data includes both adults and children. While innate traits such as resilience and self-management are strong across all age groups, the data appears to show that Singapore’s older generation are born with a higher degree of self-management skills compared to its younger generation – indicative of the fortitude of the founding generation of Singaporeans perhaps?

Upon being presented with this data, Ovidia Ong, the founder of Brillianaire thought, “This is so Singaporean”.  She then went on to verify the data against her partner’s data of Hong Kongers, which showed an entirely different set of inborn characteristics.

“I was thrilled to discover that indeed, Singaporeans rank very high in self-management and adaptability – both traits that showcase our resilience and ability to self-regulate,” adds Ovidia. The charts of both datasets are shown Appendix A.

The 200-Year Science of Dermatoglyphics: Linking Fingerprints to Brain Development

In the past, when doctors discovered babies born without brains, they also noted the absence of fingerprints as well. This led medical experts to believe that the brain was linked to the fingerprints. Later medical research determined that fingerprints and the neocortex develop simultaneously, which established a scientific relationship between fingerprints and brain function. Depending on ridges, line types and direction, an individual’s personality type and brain dominance could also be determined at birth, leading to experts developing dermatoglyphics tests to help one ascertain their inborn traits.

Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints to determine a person’s inborn traits, characteristics and potential. 200 years ago, in 1823, John E Purkinji published his thesis on fingerprint patterns classification and in 1892 Sir Francis Galton (Charles Darwin’s anthropologist cousin) scientifically established that fingerprints were individualistic and permanent. In 1920 Elizabeth Wilson started analysing brains scientifically to check on the differences between people with schizophrenia, low intelligence and normal people and in 1926 Dr Harold Cummings coined the word dermatoglyphics. He is recognised as the ‘Father of Dermatoglyphics’ for his lifetime studies of ridge patterns found on the palms of human hands. His methodology is used commonly in the diagnosis of some types of mental retardation and schizophrenia amongst others. 

Dermoglyphics was also by the former USSR in the 1970s to select its candidates for the Olympics – as it turned out, the USSR took home 50 and 125 gold medals in 1972 and 1976 respectively.

Singapore’s Future Through Its Fingerprints?

Through Brillianaire’s data, it shows that Singaporeans have high self-management, resilience, scientific aptitude and lower artistic inclination, all seemingly aligning with our overall direction, academic success and professional resilience as a nation.

“While preliminary analyses also show that Singaporeans excel in scientific careers and generally not in sporting or artistic careers, this is just a generalisation of what we are best at. Among us, there are sporting and artistic talents who should be cherished as truly unique and not within the norm,” adds Ovidia.

Brillianaire is excited to share its initial findings, which may benefit city planners, strategists, and human resource departments. The company plans further analyses to create a detailed white paper on ‘What Is the Singaporean Made Up Of?’ for general use.

“For now, I am just happy to share our data so that whoever finds it interesting may reach out to us, to take the guesswork out of what they are best at, what job they would excel in, or which role is best suited for which individual.  At Brillianaire, we believe that the use to dermatoglyphics will also enhance a parent’s relationship with their child as they will better understand how to hone and guide them based on their inherent personality traits,” concludes Ovidia.

CASE STUDY: FROM CONFUSED STUDENT AT 5 TO A DEAN’S LISTER AT 19

Five years old and facing confusion in the classroom, Mignon Low left her worried mother deeply concerned about her learning and future prospects. Traditional methods seemed to leave Mignon behind, and a sense of frustration hung heavy in the air. Desperate to find a solution, Mignon’s mother turned to dermatoglyphics.

The analysis proved to be a turning point. With a newfound understanding of her daughter’s strengths and weaknesses and unique learning style, characterised by a slower learning speed and a strong auditory preference, Mignon’s mother was empowered to craft a personalised learning journey for her. This was not just about adding enrichment activities; it involved strategic adjustments. Some existing classes, while well-intentioned, were not the optimal fit. By strategically focusing on targeted methods and allowing Mignon the time she needed to absorb information, a dramatic shift began.

Fast forward 14 years later, and the transformation is undeniable. The once-struggling student has blossomed into a confident young woman. At just eight years old, she had the courage to step onto the stage as an emcee for a school event. Her dedication to piano resulted in her achieving the highest grade, Grade 8 – a testament to her perseverance and focused learning. At school, Mignon also received numerous awards for “Most Outstanding Performance” and at 19 consistently found herself on the Dean’s List – a roll of honour for the best academically-performing students of each cohort.

Brillianaire’s programme was not a quick fix – it was a roadmap to unlocking Mignon’s full potential. By understanding her learning style and tailoring her education accordingly, it transformed a path of struggle into one paved with success and confidence.

Universal Brain Announces Publication of Groundbreaking Depression Research Using Multiple Event-Related Potentials

Published

on

By

New findings support the company’s neuroscience-driven approach to precision psychiatry, offering actionable insights for personalized depression treatment

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Universal Brain, a pioneering technology company focused on transforming mental healthcare through neuroscience, today announced the publication of its latest peer-reviewed study, “Neurotyping depression using multiple event-related potentials (ERPs): Leveraging task-based variation to predict remission in depression,” the paper introduces a novel framework for detecting unique neurophysiological patterns that can help predict which depressed patients are most likely to achieve remission from depression.

“By combining several EEG paradigms with novel statistical analyses, we’re moving closer to a future where depression therapies can be precisely tailored to each individual,” said Kazu Okuda, Chief Executive Officer of Universal Brain. “In particular, we are poised to leverage a battery of EEG paradigms to better subtype depression – which will pave the way for more precision in treatment development and selection.  These functional measures of brain activity (i.e., neurotypes) will be used to determine what treatment works best for whom.”

Key Highlights of the Study

Multi-Task ERP Analyses
The study leveraged multiple cognitive and emotional tasks to capture a broader spectrum of brain responses, thereby enabling more robust classification of distinct depression subtypes.Predictive Neurotyping
Through comprehensive ERP assessment, researchers identified patterns linked to a higher likelihood of remission in depression, paving the way for more targeted clinical strategies. Combining ERPs from multiple tasks outperformed classifications based on more traditional single-task analyses.Implications for Precision Psychiatry
These findings underscore the potential of individualized treatment pathways—an approach backed by emerging research in the field of precision psychiatry, which calls for data-driven, personalized solutions to improve outcomes in mental health.

“This work is especially exciting because it bridges the gap between laboratory-based assessments and potential real-world clinical practice. We believe our new method can help physicians potentially select treatment but also help clinicians fine-tune therapeutic interventions to an individual’s unique neural signature,” commented Greg Hajcak, Chief Scientific Advisor of Universal Brain. “By leveraging multiple ERPs in varying tasks, we can aim to better predict who will respond to specific treatments, a key step in transforming how we approach depression management.”

Championing Precision Psychiatry
