Personality tests have fascinated people for decades. From astrology to Myers-Briggs, everyone seems to want to understand themselves and others better. One quirky and fun test involves touching different parts of a finger to reveal if you are inherently a “giver” or a “taker.” This simple yet insightful test can offer surprising reflections about our nature.
he test shown in the image above divides the finger into months, and depending on which month you “touch” on the finger, it categorizes you as either a giver or a taker. It further provides a descriptive personality profile for those who are “over givers,” highlighting their unique traits and challenges.
In this blog, we will dive deep into this personality test, analyze what being a giver or a taker means, explore the psychology behind these traits, and discuss how this awareness can help us improve our relationships and well-being.
What Does It Mean to Be a Giver or a Taker?
The terms “giver” and “taker” originate from social psychology and describe how people interact with others in terms of exchanging resources — whether those resources are emotional, physical, or material.
Givers: These individuals naturally give more to others than they receive. They are empathetic, supportive, and often put others’ needs before their own. Givers derive satisfaction from helping and nurturing.
Takers: These people tend to prioritize their own needs and desires, sometimes at the expense of others. They seek to gain more from interactions and may be perceived as self-centered or opportunistic.
The Finger Test: How Does It Work?
According to the image:
-
Each section of the finger corresponds to a month, from January to December.
-
Depending on which month you identify with or “touch,” you are either a giver or a taker.
-
The test emphasizes the “over giver,” suggesting that some givers may give too much, potentially leading to vulnerability or burnout.
This approach combines a fun, tactile element with personality insight, making it easy to engage with.
