Cheiloscopy and dactyloscopy, both are well-established forensic tools used in individual identification in any scenario be it a crime scene or civil cause. Like finger prints, lip prints are unique and distinguishable for every individual. But their relationship to personality types has not been established excepting the hypothesis stating that finger prints could explain these personality patterns.
The study was aimed to record and correlate the lip and finger prints with that of character/personality of a person.
The lip and finger prints and character of a person were recorded and the data obtained was subjected for statistical analysis, especially for Pearson's Chi-square test and correlation/association between the groups was also studied.
The study sample comprised of 200 subjects, 100 males and 100 females, aged between 18 and 30 years. For recording lip prints, brown/pink-colored lipstick was applied on the lips and the subjects were asked to spread uniformly over the lips. Lip prints were traced in the normal rest position on a plain white bond paper. For recording the finger prints, imprints of the fingers were taken on a plain white bond paper using ink pad. The collected prints were visualized using magnifying lens. To record the character of person, a pro forma manual for multivariable personality inventory by Dr. BC Muthayya was used.
Data obtained was subjected for statistical analysis, especially for Pearson's Chi-square test and correlation/association between the groups was also studied.
In males, predominant lip pattern recorded was Type I with whorls-type finger pattern and the character being ego ideal, pessimism, introvert, and dogmatic; whereas in females, predominant lip pattern recorded was Type II with loops-type finger pattern and the character being neurotic, need achievers, and dominant.
Many studies on lip pattern, finger pattern, palatal rugae, etc., for individual identification and gender determination exist, but correlative studies are scanty. This is the first study done on correlating patterns, that is, lip and finger pattern with the character of a person. With this study we conclude that this correlation can be used as an adjunct in the investigatory process in forensic sciences.
唇纹鉴定和指纹鉴定都是成熟的法医工具，可用于在任何场景下进行个体识别，无论是犯罪现场还是民事案件。与指纹一样，唇纹对每个人来说都是独特且可区分的。但除了认为指纹可以解释这些性格模式的假说外，它们与性格类型之间的关系尚未确立。
本研究旨在记录唇纹和指纹，并将其与一个人的性格特征相关联。
记录一个人的唇纹、指纹和性格特征，并对获得的数据进行统计分析，特别是进行皮尔逊卡方检验，同时研究各组之间的相关性/关联性。
研究样本包括200名受试者，其中100名男性和100名女性，年龄在18至30岁之间。为记录唇纹，在嘴唇上涂抹棕色/粉色口红，要求受试者均匀涂抹在嘴唇上。在正常休息位置，将唇纹印在普通白色绘图纸上。为记录指纹，使用印泥将手指印在普通白色绘图纸上。使用放大镜观察收集到的指纹。为记录人的性格特征，使用了BC·穆萨亚博士编制的多变量性格量表手册。
对获得的数据进行统计分析，特别是进行皮尔逊卡方检验，同时研究各组之间的相关性/关联性。
在男性中，记录到的主要唇纹类型为I型，指纹类型为涡纹型，性格特征为自我理想、悲观主义、内向和教条主义；而在女性中，记录到的主要唇纹类型为II型，指纹类型为箕纹型，性格特征为神经质、成就需求者和支配型。
关于唇纹、指纹、腭皱襞等用于个体识别和性别判定的研究有很多，但相关性研究较少。这是第一项关于将唇纹和指纹模式与一个人的性格特征相关联的研究。通过这项研究我们得出结论，这种相关性可作为法医学调查过程中的辅助手段。
