Carrying this to another vein of thought, I am curiously looking hard at your handwriting and I am ushered to the area of interpretation. You are, of course, familiar with what is known as handwriting analysis and the fact that those who specialize in it believe that " your penmanship harbors more than the power of self-expression; they believe it bears the unique imprint of your personality! If I may go on with the quote: " Handwriting reveals hundreds of elements of one's personality and character which includes glimpses into the subconscious mind, intellect, energy, fears, motivations, imagination, integrity, aptitudes, among others." Interesting, don't you think?
Well, having invaded that realm of handwriting, may I as well go on sharing with you these aspects of it that I have come across. It is said that it was a French monk named Jean Hippolyte Michon who coined the phrase 'graphology' (the study of handwriting and handwriting analysis) and who believed the brain, and not the hand, controlled handwriting. He broke handwriting down into a series of strokes, assigning a personality trait to each stroke. So now let me pick up the rest of the information:
"Graphologists examine strokes, pressure, slants, heights, loops, letter spacing, dotted "i's" and crossed "t's," etc. (Were you interested in) analyzing writing style, (they would suggest that you) first look at the handwriting in general, much like you would a painting. Make mental notes of the most outstanding traits and try to get a general feeling of the writer. Then, determine the emotional energy of the writer. This is the most important factor of the personality of the writer. The emotional energy has a direct impact on every other trait displayed in the handwriting.
The stroke depicts life force, energy flow. The stroke's pressure represents intellectual vitality, physiological energy, sexual passion, and emotional intensity. Pressure is defined by how much force one applies to the writing surface with the writing instrument and not the hand grip pressure. Pressure is how hard he presses down on the paper. Pressure indicates the capacity for vigorous activities.
Writers with heavy pressure are usually highly successful. They have a lot of vitality and their emotional experiences last for a long time. Writers who write with average pressure are usually moderately successful and usually have enough energy to make it through the day. Those with light pressure try to avoid energy draining situations.
The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writer's emotional response to external forces. A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. He would be caring, warm and outgoing - his heart rules his mind. With the vertical slant (llll), the writer tries to keep his emotions in check - the mind rules his heart. A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal his emotions and is observed as cold and indifferent.
The baseline is a real or imagined line where the small letters rest. It is best determined if the writing is on unlined paper to ensure that the writer does not follow the pre-printed lines. For best results, handwriting analysts always prefer samples written on unlined paper. The baseline can be straight, wavy, erratic or sloped. A normal baseline would be slightly wavy. A person with a straight baseline is tense and over disciplined. A very wavy baseline signals a person who is on an emotional roller coaster.
An ascending baseline means optimism. A descending baseline means pessimism, tiredness or depression. A level baseline indicates a healthy balance between optimism and pessimism. The size of the writing determines the writer's ability to concentrate, thus, small writing points to someone who has the ability to concentrate on minor details for long periods of time. Most of us apparently fall under the average size category, indicating an average ability to concentrate.
Handwriting analysis neither foretells the future, nor reveals the past. However , it provides a map to your inner self, your level of satisfaction with your present situation, and your future level of achievement. It can also help you to gain an understanding and insight into the personality of other people, especially those close to you."
So there you are. Now what do you think of my handwriting? Should I fear your analysis will strangle me to death?
