Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Indications from the Hands
If you are interested in hand analysis (palmistry), you will understand that a large part of palm reading is about knowing the character. Various markings, such as lines and features, can contribute to recognising obsessive-compulsive signs from the hands. Remember that we must see evidence of each feature for a diagnosis to be valid.
Obsessive-Compulsive behaviour is more common in men, but as a rule, it is not exclusive to men. These people tend to function very single-mindedly. They have a different way of relating to things with intensity in their focus. The focus can be so intense that it can limit the range of their attention. Sometimes it’s easy to recognise this behaviour through simple conversation.
Probably the easiest way to recognise obsessive-compulsiveness is when the person is always thinking or working something out. These people can be workaholics, and doing something on a whim is not something they can grasp. Every action is deliberate and almost always perfected. Also, they can too easily neglect other people’s feelings and tend to focus more on themselves.
You might have a strong desire for problem-solving when you are compulsive or obsessive. These types can be excellent engineers and scientists. The features listed below describe all the attributes required for personality disorder. [Ref: The Illustrated Textbook of Psychodiagnostic Chirology in Analysis and Therapy. A Holtzman.]

- Middle and ring fingertips are spatulate and bulky compared to the finger’s base.
- A sharp angle of the (low-set) thumb at its base. The sharp angle is called the angle of practicality. It is where the thumb joins the palm. The larger the bump, the more practical they are. It also depicts the sense of timing, whether in music or merely being punctual.
