Also called: Flexible fingers · Backward-bending fingers

Where on the hand: Tested by pressing the extended fingers gently backward at the tips.

What it looks like: The fingers bend backward into an arch under light pressure and spring back.

Quick wit, a clever brain, charm, affability, intellectual curiosity, tolerance and adaptability — but a lack of continuity of purpose. Indian sources prefer a mixture: rigidity with some flexibility gives sensitivity plus resolve.
