This module is an extract from the lesson on Hand Types from my Palmistry Correspondence Course Diploma.

It includes a description of four types of hand classification systems developed over the last two centuries, including a presentation of the hand classification system that I use.

Also included is a table summarizing the important features of each hand type according to palm width, finger length, finger tips, finger smoothness, padding on the palms, hardness of the palms, flexibility of the hands and line structure.

Following is a brief discussion of features that do not fit and are out of sync with hand types.

Next follows a physical description of each hand type which includes characteristics such as general appearance, line structure, shape, finger shape and refinement. and personality description. Following is a personality description and lifestyle preferences, plus emotional and intellectual expression.

Included with the description of each personality type is a sample photo or print.
