The Influences of Capability and Character on Human’s Manual Dexterity

In order to investigate the impact of human’s capability and human’s character on manual dexterity, 83 college students as subjects were tested by BD-II-601 manual dexterity testing instruments. Two comprehensive evaluation parameters, namely “general athletic capability” and “artistic capability,” were constructed. Boxplots, two-factor ANOVA with repeated measures, t-test and other statistical methods were employed to analyze and test the experiment data. Statistical results show that the main effects of “general athletic capability” and “artistic capability” on the results of manual dexterity tests are statistically “very significant” (p 0.05). And, “character” should be considered as an interference factor to the results of manual dexterity tests.
