Let's see that handwriting!

[KentOhio]

Handwriting is supposed to be the window into character and personality. A really good graphoanalyst is supposed to be able to know what you're like just by seeing how you form your letters and so on. It's a real science, not like palm reading or anything like that. They use in in the criminal justice system. I just bought a book on it, but haven't read it yet. Cursive is more revealing, so let's see some of that. Write something and scan it in for all to see! Or are you afraid?

[file cabinet]

who is going to analyze the writing?...

[EternalCynic]

Blah, cursive? I can't stand the stuff. ..I have some nice handwriting samples? But if it's cursive you want, then I'll do it.

Right when.. I get around to doing it..

[synchronous]

Yes, I've read up on handwriting analysis. Interesting stuff. I do sometimes stop to analyze someone's writing, just to see if there is a correlation as these books and experts describe. Sometimes it has helped to understand someone's personality to some degree. But, I've only read one book, so, I'm far from being very knowledgeable on the topic.

[jittus rye]

Graphology is a pseudoscience. Meow. o_o

*edit*

after the post below me, I decided to do it.
Beware, I hardly even know cursive.
Time to charge the digital camera!

[Sam172]

Sorry it's not scanned in, but the scanner is rather fubar at the moment ¬_¬
This is my normal handwriting with a biro :)
Yes I know it's awful :D. Most people put it down to the unaturally painful way I hold my pen...

Yes, I was taking notes as he was dictating them to the class (he loves his work, so he talks fast and rarely repeats himself.. I also like my sloppy handwriting). Actually I felt more rushed with the cursive :P

[Utopmk]

Firechoice, there is no curve in the bottom of your "y", which suggests you have a low sex drive.

[jittus rye]

Hey now, Hey now I always thought my sex drive was healthy. Check my writing for serial killer characteristics. Some people say I write like I am left handed with my right hand.

the style i use is something like 'freeform minimalist'

it can be exemplified by letters which have a section which ppl usually draw over twice

i hate drawing over a section twice :mad:
so i draw the letters in such a way to avoid this
for example
look at the letter 'h'

[KentOhio]

Sam: Good line spacing indicates management ability, clear and objective thinking, and mental agility. Bottom line sags a little: Could be some physical fatigue, but not much. Printed uppercase letters: You have a blending of intellect and imagination. Rightward slant means sociable.

[KentOhio]

Cynic: I'm just going to look at your priting, because it's obvious you don't think your cursive counts. I do notice, though, you missed crossing some of your t's and you have funny tails on your g's.

Printing: Low cross bars on t's: You doubt your abilities. Lines used to dot the i's: Irritability. O's used to dot other i's, but I don't know what that means. Unright slope: Mind over heart. Ends of e's are low and don't continue upwards much: Practical nature, dislike for the unnecessary.

[KentOhio]

Firechoice: Printed H in Handwriting: sign of intelligence. High-crossed t's: High goals.

[Utopmk]

Mine looks just like jimkopelli's.

[booyalab]

Mine looks like cursive chicken scratch. (except strangely, I print..) I use a lot of 'shortcuts' and apparently that means I'm creative. I also press hard on the page so I guess that means I'm forceful. I also don't dot my i's, which I have read from one source that it means I'm lazy, and another source that it means I'm independent. I was interested in handwriting analysis in about 6th and 7th grade and read a lot of books. The interpretations out there often conflict, so I think most of it is bogus..but there are some that seem to be based on common sense- like the force you write with, and whether you print or how many flourishes there are. (respectively mean: force of will, pragmatism, sex-drive/ sense of aesthetics) But I don't see how your subconscious would be manifested in something random like where you cross your Ts or how your words are slanted (<--which can just indicate how you hold the page when you write.)

[jimkopelli]

I wonder if anyone else does their w's like mine... make a flat bottomed U and draw another line down the middle...

Here's a letter to my Aunt.

[Ponderous]

KentOhio, you’ve hit upon a couple of things that make me think INTP. Perhaps we do have a trend here? I definitely mix my cursive and non-cursive letters like a few of you mentioned.


Printed uppercase letters: You have a blending of intellect and imagination.

Firechoice: Printed H in Handwriting: sign of intelligence.

As for a couple of the other comments…


its great to see im not the only person that writes like crap ;)

I can definitely make you feel better on that account. My scanner is currently down, I will investigate it when I feel less lazy. May take pic of my handwriting this weekend.


(Note: Even I cannot read my cursive though I use it constantly, so don't ask what it says.
Unfortunately, I have the same problem.


(Paraphrase from the handwriting sample)…some people think it … remarkably similar to Arabic

That elipsis in the middle was a word I couldn’t quite make out. However, this definitely describes my handwriting.

What about signatures? Mine is pretty much one capital letter and a line.

[Dr. Caligari]

Too lazy to fire up my scanner, but I print in all caps (sometimes, not always). Does that mean anything? I just feel that my writing looks more legible that way.

[PsiKik]

My handwriting looks a lot like what has been posted here. I can type far faster than I can write, I think that my handwriting has actually atrophied.

[aklight]

Writing or printing by hand should be illegal. I can't read any of this shit! I can't even read my own writing... I use small letters because I'm lazy. That means less movement on and between each letter. And usually they end up connected together even though I haven't written in cursive in a long ass time.

My hand writing would just prove that I'm kind of a lazy slob who hasn't tried writing by hand in a very long time. But wait, is it because I'm lazy or because I'm too efficient...typing is much better.

By the way, no scanner.

[Lurker]

I was shamed in school for having messy handwriting. It's a lot tighter and smaller now, still a mixture of cursive and printing.

I don't have a scanner or I would share. When I was a kid, I always felt freakish because I didn't do the the bubble writing that other girls did. Of course, now I could care less, but I do wish for better control over a pen. I think my fine motor skills are poor. I can't even draw a straight line, for God's sake.

[earwax]

The only class I ever got a D in was handwriting... It sucked then and it still sucks. The only hope I have that anyone can read it (including myself) is if I print.

I don't have a scanner either so I can't give you an example. But trust me, it's bad.

[abathur]

I've always caught hell for my handwriting, but I've never had a problem reading it. It looks like shit, but I'm still relatively consistent and most of my letters are distinguishable from each other. The few people I know who see my handwriting a lot become plenty adept at reading it, once they get used to it.

[Rhu]

The only class I ever failed in compulsory public education was kindergarden and first grade handwriting.

I can stell read what I print, though. I have no idea what the problem was. Here's an excerpt from the twenty-five or so pages of stuff I wrote during vacation month or so ago to keep my mind occupied.

[Lurker]

Your writing looks almost identical to mine! Are you sure you aren't me?

[Lurker]

I won't be posting for a while, roughly one month. I believe that my mind is disintegrating, so I'm going to seek some help to patch it back together - as I recommend to anyone experiencing this problem.

Don't confuse graphology with graphonomics. The first is, like astrology, not a science. The second is, like astronomy, a true science, with its own associations, conferences and publications. Graphonomic evidence is admissible in court as forensic science.

You're probably still the only person.. that's cool though! I used to be the only one who held my pencil with four fingers... I couldn't ever figure out how people control the pencil well enough by only using their thumb, index, and middle fingers.

But I think the four finger thing (thumb, index, middle, ring) isn't all that uncommon. But I also haven't checked to see since junior high...

While I don't do this, one of my best friends in high school did. I know for a fact he started his p's and i's from the bottom (distinctly remember him doing this), though he probably started other letters from the bottom as well.

Stand proud -- you are not alone! :p

[MuseedesBeauxArts]

Oh, man. I was homeschooled in my younger years, and my mom has model handwriting. In any case, whatever subject I fucked up, it wasn't handwriting, so by golly, all of my fuck-ups were l-e-g-i-b-l-e! My printing has degenerated, but my cursive (which is generally what I use) is still pretty ridiculous (and tiny, too). Thanks, Mom. <_<

[KC85]

My attempt at analyzing the handwriting samples:


The more rounded the writing style the more emotional the writer. The handwriting of abused women typically is excessively round and focused in the middlezone. Children and teens typically write in this style as well. The middle zone has to do with the self and ego.

When a person writes illegibly they are saying they aren't really concerned with the other person understanding them.

The dot to the i if it is dagger like, indicates a person who can be "stabbing" with their tongue when crossed.

Legible beginning and ending letter to words indicates "falling apart" inside but trying to hold it together.

Overly simplified handwriting that becomes difficult for others to read can indicate mental illness and isolation.

Flourishes show pretense and immaturity. A desire to be different and noticed. Artistically inclined.

Angled handwriting shows a rational approach to life, lack of emotionality. However, if the writing becomes too angled the person will be seen as cold and critical.

[KC85]

Small hooks in the handwriting can mean holding onto things/people. You have a hard time letting go of something once you become attached.

Small loop in your lowercase e may indicate you have a hard time listening.

Connections between letters done for efficiency indicate intelligence.

Trillian replies:
LOL... The first time I picked up such a book was when I was in grade 5 - from the public library. I read that a capital M with a schwa-like flourish indicated a good sense of humour. Being accused of being too intensely serious, I wondered if changing my handwriting might have an effect on lightening myself up, to not take life so seriously. I started putting that flourish on my M's... and it seemed to work! I take this as just a token action that reinforced my conscious decision to develop my humour. Then again, would a guy named Edgar seem more sociable if he changed his name to Pete?

You have very beautiful, simplified script and your d in particular points to an efficient mind. I remember seeing Lincoln's script and he had the same type of lc d.

The loops on your h and l are slightly larger than your middlezone, thin and pointed could indicate being very fixed when it comes to your opinions etc. There is also a little bit of retracing with your l which may indicate sexual repression.

Your closed o indicates you aren't much of a talker. Yet your small loop e also means you don't listen very well.

Your slashed i dot in the second sample shows you were irritated when you wrote it.

[lbloom]

That was fun. :)

The first paragraph indicates your desire to want to be positive and upbeat but as it gets closer to right edge of the paper it dips which means you are having a hard time with this.

Your I is large but also erratic which means you have a strong awareness of self and independent streak but also have a lot of self doubt.

There is a sharpness to your writing, like a razor blade means you view things in black and white terms; and can be critical.

Your k tends to be larger than any writing around it which is a sign of rebelliousness.

In your last paragraph your t gets crossed long and off to the right which means your ambitious but also impatient with routine. You require lots of stimulation to remain interested.

Your strong right slant means you have a temper and tongue which can be sarcastic and lashing.

Your upper zone in the last paragraph is very strong compared to your mz or lz which means you are an ideas person and very creative.

Depends on the test you take. Those results seem to be from the humanmetrics test (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp). In which it is perfectly possible to get 100 % something results by answering yes to all questions about T and no to all F questions (for example).

Similarminds tests have a maximum of 90 % if I recall correctly.

Yes, I see now. Thank you.

I already told you that there is no real way to be sure. Your best bet is to find a core mini-mind (and again, this is confusing because they probably all think they are cores) that has awareness of satellite mini-minds existing in the same head. The Lurker mini-mind has no awareness of you; however, one of the others in my head might.

If she weren't allowed to speak about it she wouldn't probably even have said she knows it, either. So I'm guessing that's not the case.

And maybe everyone believes they're the core, whether they actually are or not? I don't know. In truth I don't have a clue what I'm even talking about. But there's something in my head that forces me to type this. Resistance is futile.

You were born on the 6th July 1946 in New Haven Connecticut, to parents George and Barbara, and grew up in the lovely town of Houston in Texas. You graduated from Yale with a degree in History and fought for your country during the Vietnam Conflict as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. Afterwards you attended Harvard Business School and achieved an MBA, following which you started up businesses in the Oil industry. You chose to serve your State as Governor, and were the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive 4-year terms when you were re-elected in 1998.

In 2001 you embarked on a new business venture and were selected to serve in the highest office your grateful country could bestow, and were acclaimed as a new Cincinnatus putting your hand from the plough to save the nation.

In November 2004 you had a dissociative disorder brought on by stress and invented a new Finnish persona in your mind which relaxed you and made you better able to cope with the strains of office. Under this guise you joined an obscure internet forum to release your other self.

[wildcat]

Softness and disharmony are the first features which catch the eye immediately.
Most typically, in the general handwriting samples, the softness is found among the ISFPs or ISFJs. The handwriting is soft, schoolgirlish, harmonic; it is with the ISFPs more expansive and with the ISFJs more regular. With both one can see that reflection exceeds impulsion.

I do not see the harmony in these samples. Except for Vagabond and Raincrow.

What is the cause of the so apparent disharmony? In the soft handwriting, both the drive and the control are weak. But the weak control usually matches the weak drive.

Irregularity has nothing to do with disharmony. Parts of letters may fly in any direction, the writing may still be harmonious.

[outmywindow]

hey KC85, "read" mine

Ditto, please! :)

[wildcat]

A person's personality surely can be quickly detected in any handwiting. The overall impression is always soft, strong, expansive or firm.
Of course, a soft handwriting is never strong. Both soft and strong handwriting can be either firm or expansive, but never both.
If the vigorous and regular quality of the strong (or the firm quality of the stable) type of writing end in stern and stiff rigidity, it means that drive is strong but control is stronger. The result is disharmony. If the delicate and tender quality of the soft (or the fluent touch of the expansive) type of writing in the end become disunited (or the letters ultimately break down) impulsion is weak yet reflection is weaker.
Then there is disharmony. This is what we see here.

In elasticity there is harmony. If a vigorous handwriting is elastic, drive and control are both strong but drive is slightly stronger.

The P equivalent of the J interplay of control and drive is the interplay of reflection and impulsion, respectively.

Questions, questions. Many you ask.
About the future and some of the past.
Few have seen what I see. Fewer still will ever know.
I gave an eye to see better.
And your thirst for knowledge grows.
But you, my child, who treads the road of pain.
Who have felt such anger. Such that bears no name,
Thee shall I nurse as if you were my own son.
And this very night your training will already have begun.
For I have seen you come for a thousand years or so.
And the gods have told me to teach you all that I possess and know
And though my eye no longer sees my hand held out in front of me,
I still gaze crystal clear at all that mortal man cannot see.

Let me clarify about the mini-minds, please. Each mini-mind represents just one identity. One body can hold many mini-minds, however. So, two or (many) more individuals can be hosted by one body. Because I've seen Dubya speak on television, he cannot be any of you, unless he is your host body. I have not actually seen any of you. So, the host body would have to be either me or him (I'm certain we both have a physical body), but not both.

[Ghost-Girl]

The first paragraph indicates your desire to want to be positive and upbeat but as it gets closer to right edge of the paper it dips which means you are having a hard time with this.

Your I is large but also erratic which means you have a strong awareness of self and independent streak but also have a lot of self doubt.

There is a sharpness to your writing, like a razor blade means you view things in black and white terms; and can be critical.

Your k tends to be larger than any writing around it which is a sign of rebelliousness.

In your last paragraph your t gets crossed long and off to the right which means your ambitious but also impatient with routine. You require lots of stimulation to remain interested.

Your strong right slant means you have a temper and tongue which can be sarcastic and lashing.

Your upper zone in the last paragraph is very strong compared to your mz or lz which means you are an ideas person and very creative.

Pretty much true. Good job, thanks.

[KC85]

From what I remember from some books I've read:

The larger and more rounded the loops are, the more the writer needs emotionally. This also means they are more emotionally receptive. The large cradling y also points to a strong psychological pull of the maternal figure in your life. Inverted lowercase t could mean you play the victim. Sharp m and n means intelligence. Squashed or dwarfed mz can mean being out of touch with your own needs.

[helium]

[lbloom]

Did you make your lines slope downward on purpose?

[Kyrielle]

Nope. I just write that way when I'm nervous. (I kept spelling stuff wrong and I didn't want to cross anything out--I tend to cross lots of words out because I spell them wrong or write the wrong thing.) When I'm relaxed, it gets straighter or it might even go at a slight upward angle. When I write notes in my sketchbook, they're angled the opposite way because they're quick and I know no one's watching them. It's definitely a subconsious thing.

What if I've forced my self into a different handwriting style? Does it mean I've forced my personality to change or my handwriting doesn't reflect my soul anymore? When I was in high school I still had sort of shy school boy's handwriting with uneven stretching and various angle. I hated it because it looked messy, unorganized, ugly and not cool at all. So I've forced my self to print.. pushing the pen heavily, with very logical and explicit paragraphs, indents, bullets e.t.c. so my handwriting looked more like a programming language code. Then I got lazy and my handwriting became like this:

But it's still nothing like what it was before I've decided to change my handwriting style. Can anyone analyze this? :)

Heh, I used to do that a lot when I was a kid. I'd also try and listen to languages I knew while not understanding them. That was more difficult for my brain than just turning the Roman alphabet into a bunch of incomprehensible symbols.

Nice handwriting AMDG! There's something vaguely Insular about it. I think it's the "t"s, the "r"s, the "e"s, and the "d"s. Just cross those "d"s, and suddenly you'd have an edh on your hands...

Thanks... I'm really into writing, actually. Palaeography, calligraphy and graphology have been hobbies of mine for years :)

I had an ambition as a kid that one day I'd copy an entire manuscript, like a whole book, illuminate it and bind it as a finished product, all by hand. To sell it would be a bonus, but not essential. I trained myself to use the Caroline Miniscule script and copied the Gospel of John and made it just so. It did get sold - at an auction for a charity, and made about 1200 Euros. I've done more since then, but each one takes months of work, so the fonts have had an impact on my natural handwriting. The best commission I got was to copy out the first Harry Potter book. Some people have more money than sense, I guess, but who can fathom the mind of the collector types?

Dark Razor and Dansker - if I didn't know where you were from, I'd still guess a Germanic speaking country from your writing! Though they're both different in their own ways, they share common elements with each other and with a relative of mine who went to school in Schleswig-Holstein :)

Very neat project! At least the person who wanted to commission a book chose the first Harry Potter book at only about 300 pages as opposed to the most recent one which clocked in at over 800 (if I remember correctly). Still though, I can think of more profound texts to have handmade manuscript copies of. Personally, I'd get you some real calf skin vellum and have you copy out the fragment of "The Battle of Maldon" using authentic ink and writing implements. That would be schweet.

I've sorta done that... voluntary work can lead you into some odd places. I ran some short courses in palaeography at the cathedral near me last year, teaching people how learning to write with the authentic implements and stuff helps you to recognise and read ancient scripts. It can be the difference between deciphering a letter rightly or wrongly, because especially in scripts like the blackletter ones, with all the horrible vertical lines (hate those), where letters can all look the same, it can make a big difference for you to know instinctively, through experience, which direction the pen would most likely have taken. I could never understand why that ugly stuff replaced the elegance of Caroline Miniscule...

OMW, do you find yourself quite easily distracted, and are you prone to telling the odd non-truth? Heh... just asking... nothing to do with your handwriting :whistle:

Do you dabble in handwriting analysis? Because if you do I'd be interested in hearing what else you have to say...

(for the record, I'm easily distracted from things which are happening in my surroundings by things which are happening in my head, and I don't think I fib any more than your average person)

Well.... I'm getting a vibe of someone who tends to sorta bottle things up and not want to talk about them, then suddenly lets the cat out of the bag, so to speak, at the time she least means or wants to. And someone who's optimistic, by nature, but perhaps despite herself. Leaves things unfinished a lot, but it doesn't really bother her much... tends to be flippant if quizzed about herself face to face, has a very fertile imagination, is quite eccentric but knows how to hide it and blend in, and is willing to do so without resentment.

How'm I doing? :unsure:

Very accurate for the most part, but then, you probably could have figured that out from just chatting with me on the forum. What I'm most interested in is which specific aspects of my handwriting correspond with each trait you mentioned.

Oh, and yay, I'm "quite eccentric!" :) (but I already knew that!)

Well actually no, I was just going by the writing... I don't want to reveal too much - a magician never reveals his secrets, y'know - but....

I got that from the way the writing sits (or doesn't) on the lines, and the general dynamic of it. Plus the spacing and rhythm.

Rising inclination, plus low t-bars.

Your borders also suggest you're quite generous with yourself, your personal resources (patience, sympathy, etc), but perhaps not so much with your material resources... EDIT - wait, hang on, I got that the wrong way round. Switch that round, if you get what I mean! :gm:

[Dark Razor]

you write "n"s the same as my intro german professor (so that they look a whole lot like "u"s.) Must be the different penmanship models used over there. It tripped up the american students in 101 for at least several months, heh.

Why thank you... at the moment, I'm still reeling from the overwhelming Germanness of your writing to be able to get my analysis hat on with it... whilst also thinking of ways to undermine you on the France thread, you don't leave much room for devils or their advocates, do you???

This thread is like a playground for me :grin:

Hopefully a little more clear.

[AMDG]

OK, this isn't going to be easy to stop myself from letting what I know about you from the forums influence my interpretation, but I'm telling myself to go by the handwriting alone...

meshou - you've got quite a bit of spirituality in your writing. It's quite a blurred picture, so it's hard to tell for sure, but it seems that you press quite hard on the page - if so, that can indicate either/both of these: very strong belief in your own opinions, put a lot of stock in what you say and need to feel that others do as well; you're dealing with a lot of stress in your life, either now, or stress in the past that you're still bottling up. Do you ever find matches snap when you go to strike them? It's something that commonly goes with hard pressure in handwriting. You're more sexual than you are imaginative, though you're not unimaginitive by any means - it just seems from your writing that your imagination is driven largely by primal urges, not necessarily sex. But there's some frustration there and a lot of self-repression, juxtaposed between flights of fancy and almost deliberate 'attempts' to 'let go'. You're usually very coherent in your thinking, very clear and decisive, but you doubt whether others are able to see this... like you feel you have to assert yourself but don't really enjoy it. Sometimes you get your thinking tangled up, but it doesn't bother you, and you tend to see it as other people's problem/job to figure out what you meant. I can't see all the borders and edges of the paper, but what I can see suggests that you're quite profligate with material possessions - you're not too attached to them and will nonchalantly give things away to people without blinking.

I didn't say you were necessarily gonna like it, did I? :peep:

PS guys - if you want me to 'do' you (:pornstar:) it'd be good if I could see the whole page? :)

Though I could understand you not wanting me to, after these... haha...

[meshou]

Nope, that's pretty accutrate.

Usually, I start far from the left edge and end close to the right edge in a line.

[AMDG]

Im trying to do DR's at the moment, but trying to see past the orthodoxy of it is tricky - dude, are you a robot?? :p

[meshou]

Start about an inch and a half from the top, go all the way to the bottom.

[AMDG]

Start about an inch and a half from the top, go all the way to the bottom.

Hmm, ok. Well your borders suggest to me that you like to have a lot of space around your past, if you get what I mean? But you're quite free and open about your present and your ideas about the future. And again, very generous, materially and emotionally, with those reservations I mentioned.

I do have to go to bed sometime tonight, y'all understand...

But I have a day off tomorrow :banana:

[AMDG]

Dark Razor - now you said the sample was about 4 years old, so the analysis is of you-four-years-ago, ok?

If anything, it's clear that you didn't enjoy writing this, and you don't feel terribly attached to the subject matter. I might go as far as to say you don't really like writing at all, from looking at this. You like to move towards people, but tend to stop yourself, bit of last minute panic about whether to cross that 'arm's length' line; you're not too keen on other people moving towards you, but prefer to take the initiative - even though you rarely do. Heh, people are funny, eh? You follow protocols and rules if it suits your purposes, but you do the minimum you can get away with and subvert it whenever possible. You have an interesting relationship with your imagination - it's strong and vivid, but you seem to resist and want to restrain it for some reason. Possibly because it's apt to pull you into dark territories... there's some nasty shit there man, that you're trying to fight. You have a strong sense of morality, but nonetheless can be dishonest at times, but it's not usually outright lying so much as omitting to mention things; you're not a good liar, going by this. Your thinking is clear, fluent, but misses things out a lot, a little 'glossy', once it starts 'rolling' - will tend to simply flatten anything that crops up in the way, rather than stop to look or negotiate around it. This is not the handwriting of a person who does subtlety very well... and while you're happy to look forward, you don't like looking back much, and 'possible futures' are the only parts of your life you're comfortable with being open about. You like to 'lay things out', like your thoughts are a bunch of maps strewn across a table. You put quite a bit of stock in your own opinions, but you're not too bothered about whether other people agree.

Shit man, you were hard to do. The German doesn't exactly help the Ne to flow, either!!

[Dark Razor]

Interesting analysis, I apreciate that you gave your honest opinion,
and I think it's actually mostly accurate.
It's true I dont enjoy writing that much, I would rather just go ahead and do stuff. Though I do often stop my possibly ill advised ways if people bring up sensible arguments, at least if the people I am supposed to listen to can propperly assert themselves.

Hahaha, that's so true! Thanks for the detailed analysis, mister. I've always thought that handwriting analysis was pretty interesting, but I've never had the motivation to actually get anyone to "read" my handwriting.

The strangeness of my handwriting has always fascinated me, so it's nice to see someone else's take on it.

AMDG, What is the relationship of caroline miniscule to italic and roundhand? Are they derivations of the former? I've had some calligraphy classes with italic and roundhand, as well as copperplate calligraphy so I can understand how long it takes to write a page in nice, balanced script with very few errors. I personally prefer doing calligraphy in the copperplate/spencerian script (probably b/c its faster!), but the italic/roundhand looks pretty awesome used for the right things.

I lost the original pencil scratchings of my writing sample somewhere, so can't post the whole thing to show margins but if you get anything out of my sample, go ahead and post it.

Meanwhile... Petroleum Prole!

Your handwriting shows considerable emotional discipline; you're very able to resist talking about yourself and don't tend to blurt things out (unlike OMW, heheh!) by accident. What's your secret, dude?

You value being understood more than you value looking good - IOW if you have to do a chicken impression in order to get your point across most efficiently, you probably will, without worrying about looking a fool. :grin:

You don't like waste, you like to get the most use out of something that you can; this can extent to material items or concepts. You're pretty cultured and very highly intelligent, but don't tend to wave it in people's faces, you're quite modest about it. Your imagination can cause you to like, leave the planet quite often, which you seem to enjoy, but you also seem to be able to bring yourself back down to earth without much difficulty or pain. You're honest, perhaps to a fault, but if secrecy/discretion is demanded by honour, you're able to keep your mouth shut. You like to know what 'category' something belongs to, before you engage with it, and you're quite patient when it comes to casing the joint fully before 'breaking in', if you get me; this helps you to keep your thinking very clear and coherent and I've a feeling it may apply also to your words: you're more concerned about making sure you're understood, and so will be patient with yourself, allowing yourself to speak slowly and find the right words, without any great hurry to 'get it all out'. And you can often be quite protective - of whom, I'm not sure, but I suspect you've a weakness for underdogs.

Your attitude towards people in general is sorta ambivalent - you may approach someone if given sufficient motivation, but you don't mind being approached, and tend to take people as you find them.

Actually, from your writing, you seem like a pretty awesome person in general. Quite peaceful and very genuine - nothing fake or pretentious about you. Others may find your company relaxing.

How's that?

[Petroleum Prole]

That's good. Sounds a bit like me, and with just enough ego stroking. :]
Thanks.

[AMDG]

I wasn't deliberately ego stroking man, that's what the writing said to me :)

So far your writing and DR's have been the most striking to me, in what they say about the writers. Of course, I didn't say everything... one doesn't piss off an ENTJ if one has any sense... at least, not until you need to :ph34r:

Hell if I can analyse your handwriting like AMDG does, but I can say that you provided the most entertaining sample!

[AMDG]

Okay, so I was busy, y'know, having a life and stuff? But I can get started again now, and I think I'll do dune_E's cos he's gonna wet the rug otherwise...

Okay man, you're a big believer in connections, the interconnectedness of everything in general. That leaps out at me (and it's nothing to do with the arrows). You're kind of whimsical, probably quite playful too. You're at home with serious topics and discussions, but you're just as happy to talk about nothing in particular, and you can change from funny to serious to funny again in minutes - you're quite mercurial. Your thinking is quite grounded in the past - a sense of continuity between past, present and future is important for you to feel oriented by, and 'sequences' generally are what you tend to think in - you see clear sequences in the things you think of, even though others probably more often than not don't, and in reality you're a bit fuzzy around the middles of things.

You like to find people who you feel are 'better' than you, and can become infatuated with them quite quickly, due to a strong desire to improve yourself. But the way to your sex drive is through your imagination (rather than the other way round like meshou). I suspect you'd get more turned on by a lightly clothed figure than a naked one, though you do have a bit of a dirty mind and often can't help yourself sniggering at possible sexual connotations and puns. There's a sort of 'bouncy' feel to you, of enthusiasm that others may find contagious if they catch you in the right mood. Generally optimistic, resolutely so in fact. You like to linger over things that you enjoy, to savour moments and ideas that come to you, don't like things to be over too quickly.

Hm, that's as much as I can get out of that. I feel like flippin' Mystic Meg, here...!

Well it's kinda difficult, cos of the nature of the samples, to get much... but... here's what I can get:

You like to cover your ass (figuratively lol); you're a very quick thinker (though not necessarily thorough), and your hands have a hard job keeping up with your brain. You do like to keep a distance between yourself and others, both physical and emotional, but you'll move in quickly if you perceive that someone's on your wavelength and won't wait for them to approach you (depending on the circumstances; you may wait for a more opportune time). I think you may be one of these people who always likes to arrive fashionably late to things. To you, 'the done thing' is just something that concerns other people, it's of no importance to you at all - you don't consciously avoid conforming, you're just clueless!! You like to begin thought processes from a basic or fundamental level, and then quickly escalate it in complexity, and get excited when it reaches a level of complexity where it starts to boggle your mind, and then get off on the fact that you still understand it :lol:

[lbloom]

Very Good. :)
