Other Variant Patterns

Occasionally patterns other than the seven enumerated above are found, but usually these take the form of various combinations of the main pattern types. Only less than one percent of fingerprint patterns aren't classifiable as any one of the seven types given above. The shape and formation of the pattern itself may reveal something of how they experience this in their lives, though the intepretation of these patterns also depends on which of the other pattern types are actually involved. The meaning of these rare patterns can therefore be derived by combining the qualities of the basic patterns from which they are made up. Any really unusual fingerprint pattern will therefore immediately tell you that there is something really quite unusual and distinctive about the person!
