i'm not really into gypsy palm readings, but what i am interested is a form of aesthetic, burdened by an i.q. expression, and it's there, this upper tier of chiromancy does exists.

how, you may ask?
well, i have three points of observation.

you ever feel the eeriness of walking
down the middle of a street at night,
rather than on the pavement, with the audacity
of not looking back?
  try it sometimes,
  it's one of those *john keating
moments
of perspectivism at work -
me? some of the cars parked on the street
carve an annoying shadow,
every time i walk past a few of them:
i imagine myself tripping and
knocking the rabbit's buck-teeth out
of my smile, so i take the middle of the road,
and, strangely enough, it's worth just as
much as having climbed mt. everest -
there's this eerie balance at hand,
it's not worth explaining further,
it just has to be experienced...
  but this is not my i.q. test reinvention...

this is not about logic games,
hardly, i couldn't give two ***** if you can solve
a crossword puzzle, or a sudoku puzzle...
or distinguish shapes,
   and the ones missing, and the dice dots
counted between two pairs of examples...
i wanted to keep it simple:
and i did...

(a) how a person holds a pen,
     (b) how a person holds a knife & fork
  (esp. the fork),
and (c): how you apply yourself to typing
using a keyboard -
i.e. whether you type within the full capacity
of all fingers, whether you look down at
the keyboard when typing (masculine
epitome of spatial orientation constantly
revised), i.e.:
   do you use the pinky finger of the right
hand to hit the enter / return button
to craft the next line,
or whether you apply the edge of your
thumb to hit the space bar,
only looking at the point GH
or the upper tier of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
or (shift) ! @ £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ +;
point being, let me count my chiromancy
of either hand: right hand uses the pinky finger,
and the thumb, mainly resorting to
the *******, but the index finger is
sometimes used,
the ******* is a bit like the english
holding a cup of tea,
and yes the the left hand uses (primarily):
the index, middle and ring fingers
(ring finger orientation?) -
primarily on the A....
           i used to know a recently retired
g.p., who used the computer keyboard like
an infant mozart: namely using both index
fingers to crow peck at the letters,
so yes, i am ambidexterit given a keyboard
to type... and i am able to not have to
bother to look down while doing so...

      and there are many variations i've seen,
and read,
  and they translate truthfully in terms
of i.q.,
         which i find, most odd -
given there's no logical assortment of games
involved... pedantic: it most certainly is,
just good manners? i ******* hope not,
but it's there for the taking,
(a) how you hold a pen,
   (b) how you hold your knife & fork,
and most certainly
  (c) the typing ethos...
        women ought to know,
they were once the ones conscripted for
this role;

then again: i don't know whether it's even
an estimate of i.q. -
    which is why chiromancy is invoked.
