My index finger on both hands are slightly longer than my ring fingers.
I have heard of this before and I'm not sure what to make of it. It strikes me as an oversimplification of scientific facts at best, at worse it's misleading. According to the wikipedia article you cited, a high digit ratio suggests traits such as a reduced risk of video game addiction and a greater possibility of having superstitious beliefs. Also, the article suggests a high digit ratio correlates with males preferring butch females or other men for sexual partners. Lastly, what is 'masculinity of handwriting?'
Ultimately I would be more interested in the science of how androgen exposure influences the development of our fingers than anything else.
