as well as when measuring produced forces for each finger individually: middle and index fingers were stronger than ring and little fingers, and the little finger was the weakest overall (Li, Latash, & Zatsiorsky, ...
Conclusions: The middle finger was the most important contributor to grip strength. The next most important was the combination of the ring and little fingers.
Strength of the grip and strength of the fingers are highly correlated. The contribution of the index finger is about 25% of the total force, the middle finger 35%, the ring finger 25% and 14% of the force is contributed by the pinky.

Fingers have been demonstrated to differ in their motor ability in experiments that explored grip strength as well as when measuring produced forces for each finger individually: middle and index fingers were stronger than ring and little fingers, and the little finger was the weakest overall (Li, Latash, & Zatsiorsky, ...

They found that on average, grip strength in the dominant hand was 12.7 % stronger for right handed people. Left handed subjects showed no such difference between the dominant and nondominant hand.
Results: The index and middle fingers were the fastest fingers for both hands, and little fingers the slowest.
Human fingers. Usually humans have five digits, the bones of which are termed phalanges, on each hand, although some people have more or fewer than five due to congenital disorders such as polydactyly or oligodactyly, or accidental or intentional amputations.
