friends:

friends i am collecting some really fantastic stuff for blog, so it may take week or so, please get intact with the posts as revision will make you grab them better...

Traits that you may discover on your journey with me...

PUT THE ABOVE TOGETHER :

Now let's mix some of these traits and see what we come up with.

1. A writer with heavy pressure and a vertical slant.
Heavy pressure= strong emotions and vertical slant= trying to hold emotions back. This writer is usually the one who keeps his wits about him. When "all hell breaks loose," his head rules. He will not be as emotionally responsive as a right slant writer and will "keep cool". This "heavy pressure-vertical slant" writer won't be able to keep his cool all of the time. When his emotions get the best of him he may "fly off the handle" at unpredictable times.

2. A person with light pressure writing (not much emotional or physical energy) and a left slant (tries to avoid emotional situations). This person will be emotionally withdrawn, cold, indifferent and self centered.

There are many steps involved in creating a complete personality profile. Using these first two steps you can begin to put together your own "profile" which can be useful in both personal and professional relationships.

Be careful with someone like this:

1. Handwriting slant determines emotional expressiveness
2. The slant is a major indicator for extroversion or introversion
3. Right slant indicates compliance with people
4. Right slant shows an emotionally expressive person
5. Right slanted writers will act according to emotions
6. Pressure levels determine how intense the emotions are expressed
7. Upright slant shows emotional reserve, suppression, and self-reliance
8. Upright slant writers act with their head not their heart
9. Upright slant writers are cool under pressure
10. Leftward slant writers are emotionally cold and defiant
11. Leftward slanted people are self-centered and/or selfish
12. Leftward writers are often writers, poets, or artists
13. Overly right slant writers cannot control their emotions
14. Variable slants identify mostly emotionally unstable writers.

Handwriting Analysis: Slant

DIRECTIONS: Look at the chart to measure how far you slant. Slant reveals the degree to which you express your real emotional feelings to others, depending on your mood. (Does not matter if you’re left-handed or right-handed)

LEFTWARD: \\

Slant A — Emotionally ill. Totally emotionally repressed (keeps back) and locked up in his or her own world. Cannot be reached. Leans over backward to avoid emotional situations. Past- and self-oriented. (Among convicted rapists, there is a preponderance of leftward slanters. An inability to properly express real feelings.)

Slant B — Represses (keeps back) real emotional feelings. Appears cold, evasive (avoids answering directly), and self-absorbed. Independent, hard to fathom (understand), and difficult to get along with.

Slant C — Represses real emotional feelings. Cool exterior masks inhibited reactions. Diplomatic, reserved, not straightforward. (This is saying that how you react on the outside isn’t really how you feel on the inside; you put a mask on.)

VERTICAL: lll

Slant D — Suppresses (puts an end to) emotional responses. Head over heart. It is very difficult to write this way unless you have complete emotional self-control. Undemonstrative, independent, detached, cautious, diplomatic attitude. (Britains are taught to write this way)

RIGHTWARD: ///

Slant E — Moderate expression of feelings. Healthy emotional responses. (70% of Americans write this way - the Palmer Method)

Slant F — Dominated by emotions. Heart over head. Intensely ardent (enthusiastic/passionate), affectionate, friendly, sensitive, jealous. Emotional brushfire. 

Slant G — Carried away by emotionalism. Heart rules the head. Excessively fervent (displaying passionate intensity), ardent, romantic, touchy, oversensitive, nervous, high-strung (highly intense), capable of hysterical outbursts. Difficult to get along with. Volatile (explosive behavior). (After collecting and studying the writing of hundreds of murderers, graphologists have found that most of them have a very far rightward slant. They lack emotional control. We may all have murderous feelings, but we don’t act upon them.)

UNSTABLE: // \ ||

In all directions (in a short period of time) — Unstable person. Unpredictable, nervous, erratic, undisciplined, excitable, fickle, capricious, lacking in good judgement and common sense. As if you’re pulled in all directions. (These people might have a warm personality at the moment, but will have a cold attitude the next minute) 

The Slant of the Writing: What Does it Mean?

The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writers emotional response to external forces.
1) A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. They are caring, warm and outgoing-- their heart rules their mind.

2) A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep their emotions in check-- mind rules their heart.

3) A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal their emotions and is observed as cold and indifferent.

What Aaron Hernandez’s handwriting may reveal:

To hear private detectives tell it, appearances, references, witnesses, and promises of reformed behavior can be deceiving. So some of them — like lawyers, doctors, educators, and military units — turn to handwriting analysis for psychological assessments when investigating someone.

The pressure applied by the writer, the slant of the letters, the look of crossed t’s and dotted i’s, the amount of space between words all create a unique profile, they say.

“Handwriting does not lie,” said Ronald Rice, a forensic handwriting examiner and certified graphoanalyst with 36 years’ experience.

Recognizing that handwriting analysis has supporters and skeptics, the Globe asked Rice to analyze the handwriting of Aaron Hernandez from two jailhouse notes posted online by TMZ that presumably were written by the former Patriots tight end.
Rice, owner and director of Checkmate Forensic Services, Inc., is qualified to examine handwriting for courts in seven states, including Massachusetts. He has done profiles of Timothy McVeigh and O.J. Simpson, and has been retained by companies for pre-employment screening.

Using Trait Theory, an approach to personality study that focuses on patterns of behavior and emotions and uses categories like introvert and extrovert, Rice provides information on a writer’s emotional intensity, social tendencies, and hostility level in certain situations. Rice bases his analysis on his experience and a system developed by psychologists who examined and compared thousands of writing samples.

The traits he believes are reflected in this handwriting sample may make for a good fit with the Patriots on the field but may be less advantageous, even concerning, off the field.

“I would’ve told [Bill] Belichick this: You’ve got a good guy here,” said Rice, who also consults for private detective Jay Groob and American Investigative Services. “Hernandez is not a problematic individual. He’ll roll with the punches. He may get along with others, but basically he’s a loner. He prefers to be able to come and go as he pleases.

“But when he’s out on the field and when he’s in the locker room, he’ll be a team player. He’s not going to blab about Patriots secrets. He’s not going to be backstabbing any of the guys. He’ll do what he’s told because he’s submissive.”

Here is how he came to that determination:

■ Letter slant: Rice concluded that the slightly leftward slant of Hernandez’s letters points toward an introvert who is “extremely self-protective” and suppresses his emotions. “He’s not going to give you information just because you asked for it,” said Rice. “He’s too logical. He’s going to ask, ‘Why do you want to know this? What are you going to do with it? How can I trust you?’ ”

The presence of unslanted letters also indicates an ambivert. The combination of slightly left slanted and unslanted letters translates into someone who prefers one or two close friends and demands absolute loyalty from those friends. The ambivert part of Hernandez’s personality means that, according to Rice, “he’ll do what’s in the best interest of everybody, as long as he doesn’t get hurt.” But, Rice added, “If he is provoked or experiences an unexpected, real or imagined, offense from a friend or family member, he may not be able to suppress his emotions.”

■ Writing pressure: Rice determines pressure by the thickness of different letter strokes, and pressure indicates “how much gasoline someone has, how volatile he will be if he gets into a situation.”

On a scale from 1 to 6, the pressure applied by Hernandez fell between 3 and 3.5, which rates as “average” or “moderate.” McVeigh was a 3 and Simpson a 4. Rice noted that “most people involved with road rage or explosive, violent actions usually fall within the moderate range” and that the moderate range is “the normal range for almost everyone walking around today.”

■ Word spacing: With relatively large spaces between his words, Hernandez scored high in “generosity.” But in combination with other traits, his generosity is manipulative. “Mr. Hernandez uses his extreme generosity as a means of gaining approval,” wrote Rice. “Basically, he uses generosity as a weapon to buy, intimidate and/or seduce his person of interest.”

■ Letter formation: Hernandez also scored high in the “yielding/submissive” trait. This conclusion comes from the bottom portion of his lower-case “p,” which does not swing out but remains perfectly vertical. This submissive tendency may have made Hernandez a good fit with Belichick and the Patriots.

When it comes to crossing t’s, the crossbar appears very high in some words and very low in others. Rice said this indicates someone with fluctuating self-confidence. One moment he is “flying high” and the next he is having second thoughts about himself.

Also, the crossbar mostly falls to the right side of the stem, a sign of irritation. And in several instances, the lower-case “t” comes down hard on the notepad lines, which Rice said shows decisiveness.

Two other revealing letters, according to Rice, are the lower-case “a” and “o.” In many instances, they are closed circles, indicating someone who is “secretive and can also be reticent.” But both letters sometimes show small openings, which is common in people who are open and talkative.

Asked about the presence of both closed and open ovals, Rice said, “He can be congenial, good at small talk, but not talk about anything private. You do not go into his private world unless he allows you to.”
