ATD angle indicate the Speed of our brain and muscle coordination in conveying and Transmitting informations.
Lesser the ATD angle , faster the brain response.
ATD…………Response
The ATD angle is a dermatoglyphics trait formed by drawing lines connecting the a -triradiu (under index finger), the t- axial triradius (near the wrist) and the d- triradius (near the little finger) points on the palm. The angle indicates the speed of our brain and muscle co- ordination in conveying and transmitting information. It reflects how fast our brain responds to the information delivered to our brain through sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing. Lesser the degree of our ATD angle, the more is our learning sensitivity.
People with slightly slower response in learning are certainly not incapable or dull, it is just that they need some longer time to respond. One needs to be patient with them and constantly encourage them in their learning process to increase their self-confidence. For the children in the age group of 0-8 years old it is suggested to have some training on agility of the fingers or suppleness of the body to enhance physical flexibility.
Since early 70’s Soviet Union had been applying Dermatoglyphics and ATD angle in selecting athletes. In the countries like China, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan etc. the selection/ rejection of the candidate depends upon the findings of Dermatoglyphics & ATD angle and if the findings are supporting then the coach and other authorities of the sports team focus and concentrate on training such students. This is one of the key reasons that China has won the maximum no. of Gold medals in Olympics since beginning.
