Sense of Humour - can your hand show it?

Do comedians’ hands have anything in common at all? If they did, it would mean they have similar personalities … but seems unlikely, doesn't it, because there are all types of humour out there. And is there a sign on the hand which tells you that a person has a sense of humour?

I picked four world-famous comedians’ hands: Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan, Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert. I have not seen any of their shows, except for a couple of Colbert's shows. All of these comics possess a sense of humour, obviously, but is that quality evident on the hand? We already know that there is no such thing as a blanket sense of humour as comedians have different styles.

The hands of Elon Musk

Elon Musk’s hands were not a surprise but it never fails to amaze me when a hand fits well into what is already known about the person. Yes, sometimes, hidden personality traits are revealed by the hand. That’s the case here too, at least to some extent, but largely this hand fits him. 

It’s a typical hand of an entrepreneur. However, his emotional self (as revealed by the hand) is not typical. There is a tendency to stereotype entrepreneurs/inventors as perhaps not so people-oriented or with not-so-great social skills. Elon Musk is

Oscar Pistorius's hand reading

Few believe Paralympian Oscar Pistorius’s claim that he shot his girlfriend Reeva by mistake; certainly not the police. What is the truth? Did Oscar Pistorius deliberately kill his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp? Can Palmistry really shed light on this?

The hand can guide us to some extent. It may not be able to tell if a person has actually committed a crime, but it can tell us whether a person is capable of it. The hand reveals the inner workings of the mind, and it is also possible to surmise from the hand whether a person is likely to commit a crime of passion or a cold-blooded, premeditated one.

Nelson Mandela's hand reading

When one sees the hand of a legendary figure like Nelson Mandela, one expects his hand to be a certain way, a hand which corroborates his known personality. Knowing his character to be that of a humanitarian, and of a great leader, someone who stood steadfast during his years of incarceration by the apartheid government of South Africa, one expects a large thumb, a broad hand, and deep lines. These signs are present, but I found something more, some of which were a little surprising.

Nelson Mandela was born with a good intellect and equally good concentration abilities although his heart was always a little

Jacob Zuma's hand analysis

Jacob Zuma’s hands tell us why he became the President of South Africa. He is far more than just a capable man - he is a master strategist! 

In some ways, Zuma’s hands are very well balanced. Hands, fingers and palms are well shaped, fingertips squarish, with the Apollo (ring) fingertip is likely to be spatulate. The thumb is good, in the sense that it is long with a good balance of its first and second phalanges, although the second phalange is thick. 

This indicates a person with an overall balance of personality, a broad outlook on life, common sense, and a doer mentality. There are other important indicators of his personality shown in his hand, like
