Abstract: Neuroticism is a fundamental personality trait in the study of psychology characterized by anxiety, fear, moodiness, worry, envy, frustration, jealousy, and loneliness. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, envy, guilt, and depressed mood. They respond more poorly to stressors, are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are often self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. Main objective of this review is to diagnose Neuroticism aspects of people through hand analysis. Obtaining the handprints of the people with Neuroticism and also normal people and examine them. Examine was done considering three levels of hand involving (1) the major palmar creases, (2) the dermatoglyphics and (3) the pinky finger. The reported findings provide a deeper understanding of how the Big Five personality dimension Neuroticism can be recognized to manifest in the hand. It is essential that we learn to recognize early constitutional tendencies toward neurosis; we may be able to help these individuals before they develop a psychoneurotic personality and physical ailments which often accompany it. In conclusion I emphasize the fact that hand analysis can be used to identify psychological problems.
