FINGERPRINT STUDY OF 1000 SINGAPOREANS SHOWS HIGH SELF-MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE TRAITS: BRILLIANAIRE

Published

on

Brillianaire’s dermatoglyphic personality and potential testing uncovers major personality traits of Singaporeans across all agesSingapore firm believes such data will help Singapore chart a better future by tapping on its strongest resource: people

SINGAPORE, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Brillianaire, Singapore’s first self-development consultancy to use dematoglyphics services extensively for children and adults, has for the first time, collated data collected from more than 1,000 Singaporeans to provide a preliminary indication of what drives its citizens.

Singapore’s true wealth lies in its people and the founding father of Singapore, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, would be heartened to know that three generations of talent cultivation and training have cultivated a population with exceptional resilience and high intrapersonal intelligence, as shown through a fingerprint analysis of its citizens.  

Brillianaire’s sample size of 1,000 dermatoglyphics data includes both adults and children. While innate traits such as resilience and self-management are strong across all age groups, the data appears to show that Singapore’s older generation are born with a higher degree of self-management skills compared to its younger generation – indicative of the fortitude of the founding generation of Singaporeans perhaps?

Upon being presented with this data, Ovidia Ong, the founder of Brillianaire thought, “This is so Singaporean”.  She then went on to verify the data against her partner’s data of Hong Kongers, which showed an entirely different set of inborn characteristics.

“I was thrilled to discover that indeed, Singaporeans rank very high in self-management and adaptability – both traits that showcase our resilience and ability to self-regulate,” adds Ovidia. The charts of both datasets are shown Appendix A.

The 200-Year Science of Dermatoglyphics: Linking Fingerprints to Brain Development

In the past, when doctors discovered babies born without brains, they also noted the absence of fingerprints as well. This led medical experts to believe that the brain was linked to the fingerprints. Later medical research determined that fingerprints and the neocortex develop simultaneously, which established a scientific relationship between fingerprints and brain function. Depending on ridges, line types and direction, an individual’s personality type and brain dominance could also be determined at birth, leading to experts developing dermatoglyphics tests to help one ascertain their inborn traits.

Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints to determine a person’s inborn traits, characteristics and potential. 200 years ago, in 1823, John E Purkinji published his thesis on fingerprint patterns classification and in 1892 Sir Francis Galton (Charles Darwin’s anthropologist cousin) scientifically established that fingerprints were individualistic and permanent. In 1920 Elizabeth Wilson started analysing brains scientifically to check on the differences between people with schizophrenia, low intelligence and normal people and in 1926 Dr Harold Cummings coined the word dermatoglyphics. He is recognised as the ‘Father of Dermatoglyphics’ for his lifetime studies of ridge patterns found on the palms of human hands. His methodology is used commonly in the diagnosis of some types of mental retardation and schizophrenia amongst others. 

Dermoglyphics was also by the former USSR in the 1970s to select its candidates for the Olympics – as it turned out, the USSR took home 50 and 125 gold medals in 1972 and 1976 respectively.

Singapore’s Future Through Its Fingerprints?

Through Brillianaire’s data, it shows that Singaporeans have high self-management, resilience, scientific aptitude and lower artistic inclination, all seemingly aligning with our overall direction, academic success and professional resilience as a nation.

“While preliminary analyses also show that Singaporeans excel in scientific careers and generally not in sporting or artistic careers, this is just a generalisation of what we are best at. Among us, there are sporting and artistic talents who should be cherished as truly unique and not within the norm,” adds Ovidia.

Brillianaire is excited to share its initial findings, which may benefit city planners, strategists, and human resource departments. The company plans further analyses to create a detailed white paper on ‘What Is the Singaporean Made Up Of?’ for general use.

“For now, I am just happy to share our data so that whoever finds it interesting may reach out to us, to take the guesswork out of what they are best at, what job they would excel in, or which role is best suited for which individual.  At Brillianaire, we believe that the use to dermatoglyphics will also enhance a parent’s relationship with their child as they will better understand how to hone and guide them based on their inherent personality traits,” concludes Ovidia.

CASE STUDY: FROM CONFUSED STUDENT AT 5 TO A DEAN’S LISTER AT 19

Five years old and facing confusion in the classroom, Mignon Low left her worried mother deeply concerned about her learning and future prospects. Traditional methods seemed to leave Mignon behind, and a sense of frustration hung heavy in the air. Desperate to find a solution, Mignon’s mother turned to dermatoglyphics.

The analysis proved to be a turning point. With a newfound understanding of her daughter’s strengths and weaknesses and unique learning style, characterised by a slower learning speed and a strong auditory preference, Mignon’s mother was empowered to craft a personalised learning journey for her. This was not just about adding enrichment activities; it involved strategic adjustments. Some existing classes, while well-intentioned, were not the optimal fit. By strategically focusing on targeted methods and allowing Mignon the time she needed to absorb information, a dramatic shift began.

Fast forward 14 years later, and the transformation is undeniable. The once-struggling student has blossomed into a confident young woman. At just eight years old, she had the courage to step onto the stage as an emcee for a school event. Her dedication to piano resulted in her achieving the highest grade, Grade 8 – a testament to her perseverance and focused learning. At school, Mignon also received numerous awards for “Most Outstanding Performance” and at 19 consistently found herself on the Dean’s List – a roll of honour for the best academically-performing students of each cohort.

Brillianaire’s programme was not a quick fix – it was a roadmap to unlocking Mignon’s full potential. By understanding her learning style and tailoring her education accordingly, it transformed a path of struggle into one paved with success and confidence.

For A Bright Future Foundation Launches NextGen Finance Lab Across Manhattan High School District, New York

Published

By

District-wide rollout brings project-based financial literacy and professional mentorship to Manhattan’s 50 public high schools, building on a successful pilot at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Louis Hernandez Jr.’s Foundation For A Bright Future (“For A Bright Future,” “FABF”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunity for underserved youth, today announced the district-wide expansion of its NextGen Finance Lab program into the Manhattan High School District. In partnership with the Manhattan High School District Team, under the supervision of Superintendent Gary Beidleman, FABF will launch the program’s first cohort of 8 high schools this fall, with plans to bring the NextGen Finance Lab to additional Manhattan high schools in the semesters that follow as part of a phased, district-wide rollout.

“At Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, we saw firsthand what this program can do. Our students left Pitch Like A Dragon more confident, more articulate, and more prepared to manage their own financial futures than I’ve seen from any other initiative we’ve run. I’m proud that the model our students and teachers helped build is now reaching classrooms across Manhattan,” said Manuel A. Ureña, Principal, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School.

The NextGen Finance Lab is a project-based financial literacy program that integrates the Dave Ramsey Financial Literacy curriculum with FABF’s FinTech mentorship ecosystem. Throughout the program, students build core skills in budgeting, saving, debt elimination, investing, and entrepreneurship, while working directly with FinTech industry professionals who share real-world perspective on banking, digital wallets, investing, and career pathways in financial technology. The program culminates in “Pitch Like A Dragon,” a school-level and district-level competition in which student teams pitch original business and FinTech concepts to a panel of industry leaders, venture capitalists, and New York City business professionals, with scholarship awards presented to top teams.

“This expansion is proof of what’s possible when a nonprofit, a school district, and industry partners commit to the same goal. Everything we’re scaling today started as a pilot at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, where educators and students helped shape the curriculum and the ‘Pitch Like A Dragon’ event structure now being adopted by seven more schools this fall. That’s how one school’s success becomes a lasting pathway for thousands of students across Manhattan,” said Gina Rogoto, SVP, Operations and Programs, For A Bright Future Foundation.”This expansion demonstrates the collective impact achievable through aligned partnerships. The model shaped at  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (JKO) High School now serves as a lasting foundation for advancing financial literacy for thousands of students across Manhattan,” said Gina Rogoto, SVP, Operations and Programs, FABF. The success at JKO High School, now fueling district‑wide deployment, was strengthened by the guidance of FABF’s Consultant in Academic Affairs and former Senior Deputy Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education, whose deep expertise helped shape a program adaptable to each school’s unique vision and academic priorities.

FABF and the Manhattan High School District Team have confirmed the following schools for the initial launch cohort:

Leadership and Public Service High SchoolJacqueline Kennedy Onassis High SchoolHigh School for Law and Public ServiceMurry Bergtraum High School for Business CareersHigh School of Fashion IndustriesHudson High School of Learning TechnologiesMott Hall High School: Finance Lab ProgramFood and Finance High School

FABF’s long-term goal is to bring the NextGen Finance Lab to all 50 high schools in the Manhattan District, expanding in phased cohorts over the coming semesters.

“As someone who spent a career in financial services, I know how much of a difference it makes when young people are exposed to these concepts early. This program doesn’t just teach students about money; it gives them the confidence to pitch real ideas, take feedback, and think like entrepreneurs,” said Benson Porter, Program Chairman, NextGen Finance Lab, FABF.

About For A Bright Future Foundation

Louis Hernandez Jr’s Foundation For A Bright Future is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that empowers underserved youth with equitable access to education, technology, financial capability, and wellness.

VOICEBUDS, A QUIETER WAY TO WORK WITH VOICE, NOW AVAILABLE FOR HOLIDAY SHIPPING

Published

Voicebuds reinvent earbuds for personal voice computing, even below a whisper

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Subtle announced today that Voicebuds, its award-winning private voice computing device, is available to ship in time for the 2026 holiday season, with customers ordering by December 10th receiving their devices by December 24th.

Since Voicebuds were unveiled in January, AI voice dictation has surged in popularity, but the fundamental problems with voice input remain unsolved. Dictating aloud is awkward in open offices, offers little privacy in public spaces, and remains unreliable when others are speaking nearby.

With Voicebuds, Subtle has reinvented the earbud as a private voice interface that works even at a whisper. The device combines Subtle’s breakthrough voice isolation technology with an AI voice computing app for iPhone and Mac, enabling discreet, reliable voice computing in the places where people actually live and work. Voicebuds serve as both premium everyday earbuds for music and calls, and a personal computing device for voice dictation and AI. They are designed for voice productivity in crowded commutes, quiet libraries, noisy cafes, and shared spaces where traditional voice tools have always failed.

“It’s been inspiring to hear from our beta testers using Voicebuds to prompt AI in shared offices without booking a quiet booth, dictate on planes without bothering their seatmates, and take calls amid the noise and bustle of their daily lives,” said Tyler Chen, cofounder and CEO of Subtle. “We’re incredibly excited to put Voicebuds in the hands of all of our customers just in time for the holidays and hear what new use cases they come up with.”

In Subtle’s internal testing across real-world noise environments, Voicebuds delivered up to 5X fewer transcription errors than AirPods Pro 3 combined with leading AI dictation software.

Voicebuds offer:

Subtle voice dictation: Write with voice in any app on iPhone and Mac, without being overheard.Voice notes: Capture thoughts and ideas instantly, and access them across multiple devices.Contextual AI chat: Brainstorm with an AI assistant, without being overheard.Music and calls: Everyday listening, noise cancellation, multipair connectivity and clear calls.

For holiday shoppers, Voicebuds replace multiple devices and apps as a single product for listening, communication, and voice computing that finally works in the real world.

Voicebuds are available starting today for $249 in either Parchment White or Ink Black. Voicebuds ship with a 1-year membership to the Subtle app for iPhone and Mac, providing a complete voice productivity experience across dictation, contextual AI chat, and cross-device voice notes. After year one, users can continue the full Subtle Pro membership for $17 per month, or switch to the free tier anytime with full earbud functionality and limited AI usage.

Customers can order now at subtle.co.

About Subtle

Subtle is pioneering personal voice computing technology, designed to make voice the most effective, trusted interface anywhere. Its machine learning technology powers consumer hardware for whispered, private, and noise-resilient voice AI that works in real-world environments. Founded by Stanford engineers and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Subtle is supported by funding from Entrada Ventures, Amplify Partners, Abstract Ventures, and founders of Twitter, Pinterest, and Perplexity.
