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.

RedThread Report Reveals 50% Drop in L&D’s Involvement in Strategic Discussions, Offers Framework for Reclaiming Influence

Published

on

By

RedThread Research’s latest report, Hope Isn’t a Plan: Building a Progressive L&D Strategy, highlights a 50% drop in Learning & Development involvement in business strategy discussions over the past two years, signaling a shift from strategic partner to reactive function. The report also provides a comprehensive five-part framework to help L&D leaders articulate their strategy, collaborate effectively across departments, and balance stability with flexibility.

WOODSIDE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RedThread Research has published its latest report, “Hope Isn’t a Plan: Building a Progressive L&D Strategy,” which underscores the declining strategic role of Learning & Development (L&D) functions and offers a comprehensive framework for leaders seeking to recalibrate their strategies.

“L&D needs to rethink its strategy or risk becoming irrelevant. More than just talking about being strategic, they need to align, act on, and operationalize it. That means doing things differently, thinking more strategically, and embedding learning into the heart of the organization.”

The study reveals a sharp 50% drop in L&D’s involvement in business strategy discussions over the past two years, signaling an alarming shift from strategic partner to reactive supporter. The research also shows that L&D’s involvement in workforce planning discussions similarly declined sharply over this same period.

“L&D needs to reclaim its strategic voice or risk becoming irrelevant,” said Dani Johnson, Co-founder and Principal Analyst at RedThread Research. “More than just talking about being strategic, they need to align, act on, and operationalize it. That means doing things differently, thinking more strategically, and embedding learning into the heart of the organization.”

The report highlights several pressing insights, including:

Declining Strategic Influence: L&D’s diminishing role in strategy discussions has led to a more tactical and reactive function in many organizations.The Importance of Articulating Strategy: Many L&D leaders lack a clearly communicated and well-defined strategy, further compounding their inability to respond effectively to changing business needs.Collaboration as a Cornerstone: Successful employee development requires structured collaboration and cooperation across departments, challenging entrenched mindsets about L&D’s role. L&D functions need a plan for how to best collaborate with other business functions.Balancing Stability with Flexibility: While adaptability is essential, the report argues that stability also forms the foundation for long-term success in L&D efforts.A Five-Part Strategic Framework: The study provides a detailed framework comprising five core elements of an L&D Strategy—Organizational Alignment, Employee Impact, Operations and Governance, Tech and Data, and Stakeholder Engagement.

“Learning and Development can’t afford to play it safe,” added Johnson. “They must be prepared to continually evolve— locking down what works while still flexing to meet what comes next. And they need to double down on strategy to show how that connects back to outcomes — and prove that L&D is not just a cost center but a critical driver of success.”
