Between the age of 18-24years the fingerprint of ten  digits were taken (plain and rolled print) and personality traits were examined. Frequency of fingerprint patterns are categorized. Ridge  count were made for the frequently distributed pattern. The personality traits are classified from the score obtained by using a personality  questionnaire. The relationship between personality traits and fingerprints are examined by using SPSS software.
