Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine (1) the variation of students’ fingerprint patterns and (2) the  relationship between the fingerprint patterns and the intelligence of the students based on their grade point average (GPA). The subject of this study is the students of Catholic University of Widya Mandala Madiun. The fingerprints were randomly obtained from ten students of nine study programs.  It was done by taking the fingerprints stamped on a piece of white paper. The collected data were calculated to find the percentage of each fingerprint pattern and they were analyzed using statistical correlation at α = 5%. The results indicated that the percentage of the students’ fingerprint patterns was  as follows: loop (56.89%), whorl (36.89%), and arch (6.22%). The correlation analysis showed no significant correlation between the students’ fingerprint patterns and their grade point average (GPA) shown by significant value> 0.05 of the three fingerprint patterns.
