Interviewer Instruction: ENTER MEASUREMENT FOR LEFT INDEX FINGER (NEXT TO THE THUMB) ENTER 997 FOR 'MEASUREMENT NOT POSSIBLE AS FINGER/HAND MISSING OR INJURED' ENTER 996 FOR 'UNABLE TO TAKE MEASUREMENT FOR OTHER REASONS' *ASK RESPONDENT TO FULLY OPEN THE HAND TO BE MEASURED. *MAKE SURE THAT ALL FINGERS ARE STRAIGHT AND NEITHER BENT NOR OVERSTRETCHED. *ALIGN THE "0" MARK ON THE FIXED JAW OF THE CALLIPER WITH THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM CREASE OF THE FINGER TO BE MEASURED. *ALIGN THE MOVABLE JAW OF THE CALLIPER WITH THE TIP OF THE FINGER (NOT THE FINGER NAIL). PLEASE PROVIDE THE READING TO THE NEAREST WHOLE MILLIMETER. ROUNDING RULE: values after the decimal point ranging between .00 and .49 are rounded down (e.g. '70.25' entered as '70'). And values ranging from .50 to .99 are rounded up (e.g. '70.79' entered as '71').

Text: Next, I would like to measure the length of your index and ring fingers. These measures have been shown to indicate roughly the degree of hormones you were exposed to when your mother was pregnant with you. Having these measures will be very useful to better understand the links between social background, physical development and a range of social and personality outcomes. Is it okay if I obtain these measurements?

|---|---|
| 1 | Yes, willing and able to provide measures |
