Differences in Ti/Fi Hands

Is there a type that does not use their hands when they talk? To put it another way, is absence of hand gestures in conversation revealing of type?

Ever since being introduced to the concept of Ti vs. Fi hands, I've been obsessively watching the two people I spend the most time at work with: Someone with FiNe in their dom positions and someone with TiNe. Everyday is like a laboratory experiment. And they follow the script to a T. The TiNe dom is all spindly-fingered, and the FiNe dom sometimes moves her fingers individually but virtually never unstiffens her wrist. Very interesting.

I was discussing today with my family and while I was speaking I could witness my own hands do the stiff hands, if not Te. Funny how it works...

My hand gestures are not typical of Te or Fi, but look more like Ti. I have very soft wrists and bendy fingers, so my hands are naturally "meticulous". Weirdly, my mother (prob. FiSe) and I both tend to keep our hands like this, as a resting mode:


It's completely unconscious and looks stupid, to the degree that it's our trademark.

While speaking my wrists tend to be very loose, but my fingers are straight and often spread. However, the movements are much hastier (definitely staccato!) than I've seen in Ti-users.

I can't even say what my family does at a resting-state... When we are together our hands are always moving if not just arms folded ohh and I do this A LOT:
