Not always. People's bodies differ proportionally; thus, a person's arm span is not directly equal to their height. Some people's wingspan may be plus or minus a few inches in relation to their height.

Does a thermocouple have to touch at the tip or sides to operate correctly?
All thermocouples (whether type J, type K, type T, etc.) measure the difference in temperature between the Tip (junction between two different metals), and the other end of the thermocouple wire, often referred to as the "cold junction." There must be two such junctions somewhere for the thermocouple to operate correctly; typically the measurement junction is at the tip. To measure the temperature of some thing, try to put that junction as close as possible to that thing. However, since the thermocouple is metallic and the measurement relies on detecting tiny voltages, connecting the tip electrically to a metallic surface could affect the measurement. For that reason thermocouples often have insulated tips.

The standard proportions when drawing the adult human figure is seven (7) heads high. The height of the head from chin to crown is one seventh of the height of a normal adult human. This is a generalization, but works well as a baseline. Just for a bit more proportional information, the distance from tip of longest finger to the tip of the longest finger of the other hand (when stretched out horizontally at shoulder height is the same as the height of the figure (7 heads). When drawing children the proportions are much different. Also remember, it is the setting you put your figures into that determine the perceived height of the figure. If you place your figure next to a tree and they are near the same height, you person appears very tall...
