Do you have the full article/text?  I'm not interested in signing up to some shit in order to read it, but I am curious.

This characteristic can be attributed boredom and lack of comfort. 

There are several other comforting mechanisms, such as crossing the arms, or various rubbing motions with one or more fingers.

I bite my nails if I think they are too long... Then it looks worse so when I get home I use nail clippers.

I used to have it really bad as a kid. At one point it took me getting to the point of bleeding fingertips for me to even consider stopping it, seeing the moment of wondering "Could toe nails be chewed..?" be the obvious sign that there was a problem.

Theater training had us focus on obvious signs of insecurity where we'd be forcibly made to not express them. Nervous tells tend to break the illusion. I'm quite thankful for that alongside other factors that helped me appear more confident than I actually am.

I bite my nails, but not all the way down. It's just to kinda trim them or if a piece becomes jagged or uneven.

I used to bite my nails a lot as a kid. Got this stuff to put on them so that they should taste bad. I don't think it helped... As an adult there have been periods where I've let my nails grow. Dunno why this is... Probably that I'm proud that I've got the self-discipline not to bite. As it is now, I tend to let my nails grow quite a bit and then bite. Not certain what I do... At least I bite my nails. 

As a true right handed person I probably would hurt myself trying to use clippers on my left hand. I'm not a nail biter per se but I use teeth, not nail clipper to fix up my finger nails.

I very often bite my nails,  I don't think I've ever really used clippers. It's a habit I have thought about breaking,  but after over a decade of habit I doubt I'll stop anytime soon. 

Sorry that I happened to reply to your thread instead of answering generally. I'm new to this forum.
