But these people are more likely to be left handed.

How to Measure Your Finger
Straighten your fingers and look at the palm of your hand. At the base of your ring and index fingers there are creases. Your index finger is likely to have one crease, the ring finger a band of creases. Select the crease closest to the palm and choose a point on the crease midway across the base of the finger. Mark it with a pen. Measure from the mark to the tip of the finger.
