Objective: to investigate the influence of perinatal androgenization on personality in 60 women between the ages of 18 and 42 in the Region of Cuyo, Argentina. The sample was intentional, not random. Instruments:
Millon Inventory of Personality Styles test (MIPS); and the measurement and ratio of finger length (RLD) 2D:4D of the right hand. Two comparison groups were formed: G1 with RLD values between the minimum and the mean value, and G2 with measurements between the mean and the maximum value. Results: Comparison of means indicated differences between G1 and G2 for the bipolarities of Introversion; Conformism and Control. G1 showed negative correlations between individuality (r=-0,31; z=0,05) and intuition (r=-0,33; z=0,04*) scales with RLD.For G2, higher RLD values, there were no correlations.
Conclusions: Individualism; Introversion; Intuition; Conformism and Control seem to be more sensitive to perinatal androgenic levels than the rest of the bipolarities of personality.
