New assessment chart for the hand!

The Multi-Perspective Palm Reading 'Assessment Chart' is a first attempt to provide a guideline to assess key-elements for each of the 7 hand dimensions (the chart includes 36 hand features).
The chart is divided in 8 sections, one for each of the 7 hand dimensions (including: dermatoglyphics, finger length, lines, motorics, nails, shape & skin) - NOTICE: the dimension 'dermatoglyphics' is divided in a sub-section describing the fingerprints + a sub-section describing palmar dermatoglyphics.
Any proposal to include other hand features in this 'assessment chart' is very welcome, because I have myself a few ideas already to improve the usability of this chart, e.g. by making the chart suitable to assess two hands in one chart!
Later I will also present some guidelines regarding how to use this chart (to assess the hand characteristics for a person, or to register the typical characteristics seen in a specific group).
I have also planned to present a chart for the populations for which I have already summarized the typical variations regarding all 7 dimensions of the hand, including: Down syndrome, fragile-x syndrome, diabetes mellitis type-2, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis & schizophrenia.

PS. Here I have presented a full 'profile' which describes the most common variations in the general population (see the green line inside the picture below):

Hi Kiran,
Excellent question, and well spotted that the 'tented arch' is missing in the chart.
Yes, I decided to not include the 'tented arch' in this chart for various reasons - e.g. one requires to have detailed expertise to recognize a true 'tented arch'; I have noticed that in scientific studies tented arches have only rarely been associated with any disorder or disorder at all; and in the fields of hand reading I have noticed that authors often present examples that are actually a 'ulnar loop', 'radial loop' or 'arch'.
Therefore I decided to avoid all related complications by excluding it from this chart (resulting in that any tented arch will be included in one of the other categories).
It's a strategic choice (such choices serve the purpose to present a chart that includes many aspects of the hand... without falling in the pittfalls of details)

Hi Sue,
I welcome you to specify why you think the chart is 'overcomplicated'?
(I especially would welcome you to specify your response in the perspective of the starting point that 'Multi-Perspective Palm Reading' underlines the need to look at multiple dimensions of the hand in order to find a solid assessment)

As an intuitive palm reader with a big interest in the scientific and empirical aspects of the subject, I find the chart quite astrological in format and difficult to read, if I was a beginner I would be put off but, hey maybe you are not aiming this chart at beginners so what am I going on about!!
Sue
Yes, this chart is not designed for 'beginners' (it's more designed for professionals & advanced students: one can think of various possibilities for how to use it).
Though I do think this chart can potentially become valuable tool for beginners who have understand the need to look at various dimensions of the hand. Because the chart provides a visual summary of key-features to look for.

Sue

Basically, I only wanted it to look nice for a start.
But now that I have made a starting point, I think it would indeed become much more practical to present the chart in a table format.
Instead of the circle I could creat a square with 9 squares inside... the inner square could include the hand picture (just like it is now presented in the center of the circle), and each of the other 8 square could include the same info as presented in the circle.
I think I already like this as an alternative!
(E.g. it would take much less time for me to make such chart, and to adopt changes, etc.)
Thanks Sue!!!

Thanks Knox!

By the way, what else do you have in mind? You are welcome to propose some of the other (major) hand features that you would prefer to see included in the chart.
