Handwriting - I'm intrigued...
Nabbed from an MSN Encarta article about graphology.
Top ten handwriting secrets, it says:
And because I'm intrigued, I've bolded the ones I think fit mine. Along with whether I think the interpretations are accurate... (: Interesting. Anyone else have some of these traits?
Be warned, though: Graphology is too complex to be boiled down into universal nuggets. So, take these with a grain of salt.
1. Are your Us and Ws rounded on their bottoms?
You're sensitive and maybe poetic. (Well, I did just win a poetry prize... ^_^')
2. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top?
The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have. (Win!)
3. Do you loop your Cs at the top?
Then, to quote Carly Simon, you're so vain.
4. Are your As and Os tightly closed?
Perhaps you're hiding something. (Ahem. Well. Moving swiftly on...)
5. Do your letters slant every which way?
If so, then yikes. Only 10 per cent of the general population has a wobbly slant—compared with 70 to 80 per cent of convicted felons.
6. Do you have the "felon's claw"?
It's another hallmark of the criminal, and it occurs when you bring a letter straight down, then attach a claw-shaped curve to its end—say when you're writing the lowercase y. (Oops. And I just thought I did it because my handwriting is pretty sharp and spiky and quick. And I like the look of it. ^_^' Hee.)
7. Is your signature different from your normal handwriting?
Then perhaps you're putting on an act. (It just slants and accentuates the spiky and half the time I can't remember how to do it... ^_^' Though... Well... Moving on again...)
8. Do the connecting swoops between your letters droop?
Maybe you have a martyr complex, and are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. (Phew!)
9. Is your handwriting spiky and angular?
Relax. There's no need to be so tense. (I'm a wigwam, I'm a teepee, I'm a wigwam, I'm a teepee... I'm two tents!)
10. Are your letters a bit squatty?
If they're biggest in the middle zone, and don't extend much up or below the baseline, then you're perhaps a bit childish. The Disney logo, based on Walt Disney's handwriting, is a good example of this.
These ten tips come from Handwriting Analysis: Putting It to Work for You by Andrea McNichol, and Handwriting Analysis by Karen Kristin Amend and Mary Stansbury Ruiz.
