Analyzing Handwriting: Speed and Curves::

The speed of a person's writing reveals additional personality traits. Speed is found in the flow of the writing and indicates speed of thought, action and perception. This trait can vary when people are taking notes or in a hurry such as a doctor signing a prescription.

Those who write swiftly tend to be alert, flexible, rapid thinkers.

Those who write slowly are those who take the time to consider details, deliberate, cautious people.

Curves and Angles:

Writing that begins with a curve indicates a person who may be stuck in the past. Curves at the end of a letter or word indicates a person's level of generosity.

Sensitivity to Criticism:

Sensitivity to Criticism is evident in handwriting. Sensitivity to criticism is a common fear trait, acquired through continued disapproval and also nurtured by recurring hurts or rejection.

If you as a child met with frequent criticism, especially from those whose good opinion you valued or desired, your self-image may have deteriorated to the point where you have formed a habit of imagining unfavourable attitudes where in truth none exist.

The sensitivity discussed here is produced when there is repeated damage to a person’s ego that results in the person having a continuing fear of hurts, even imagined ones. This type of person may well have the habit of imagining unfavourabe attitudes where in truth none exist.

It is ironic that as much as sensitive people need assurance through praise, they often deprive themselves of it by refusing to enter into situations where there is even a chance they will encounter criticism. In a sense, they have their ears plugged to avoid hearing words of disapproval, and, in the process, they don’t hear words of praise, either!

The primary indication of sensitivity to criticism in handwriting is where there are the loops in the stems of ‘t’ and ‘d’ letters (letters which do not have looped stems in standard script). T’s and d’s embody pride and the elements of self-esteem. A loop, no matter where it occurs in writing, is imagination. When added to a ‘t’ or ‘d’ stem, this indicates a real or imagined view on the part of the writer of what other people think about their ideas, habits or actions. The more inflated the looped stems, the greater their fear of and sensitivity to criticism is.


Looped ‘d’ and ‘t’ Stems: Sensitivity to Criticism and Guilt

Loops in handwriting refer to imagination and emotional reception relative to the zone you find them in.

The d and t letters focus on aspects of the personality ego. The ‘d’ relates to one’s personal mannerism, his speech, physical attributes, manner of dress; his physical personality ego. The ‘t’ relates to the individual’s philosophical beliefs, ideals, code of ethics, education, intentions, and plans; his mental personality ego.

Extreme Sensitivity to Criticism

Excessively large loops in the d or t represent the writer who is so extremely sensitive to criticism that he is accused of being “paranoid” by those who interact with him. Wide line spacing further verifies the paranoid personality disorder.

When he feels criticized, his imagination becomes quite enlarged just as the loop structure becomes enlarged. He will listen to every conversation and be able to mentally process it in such a way that he justifies his suspicion of others. He is constantly hurt, feeling very lonely, and believing everyone is against him. For the extremely sensitive personality, that which he experiences in his imagination (loops = imagination) is more real than reality. The subconscious mind does not know fact from fiction.

Size and Extension of Letters

The size of a writer's letters handwriting in relation to spaces is an indication of their sense of ego. Handwriting that features large letters typically represents a friendly and social person. Someone who writes with tiny letters is most likely an introvert. Most people's handwriting is in the middle range making them a balance between the two extremes.

The upper and lower loops in a person's handwriting reveal many personality traits.

Tall Upper Loops:

Elaborate upper letters such as l's, d's, and h's indicate an abstract thinker with great intellect. This quality is often found in the handwriting of philosophers. The taller the loops, the more intelligent the person is. The shorter the loops to the top of the line is a sign of average intelligence.

Expressive or Large Lower Loops:

Those with expressive or large loops that go below the writing line, such as the letter y and the lower case g indicate a sensual person who is driven and physical. These people often have very high sex drives and stay active throughout their lives. The more unique the loop, the more likely the individual is to be an original person (and a skilled lover). Short loops in letters that go below the writing line indicate the opposite. Those who write with very small loops are typically couch potatoes who avoid physical activity.

The more plump the loop in the lower letter indicates a person who's needs are not being met. A significant y or g with an elaborated loop indicates someone who isn't making as much money as they wish they were and may not be getting enough physical attention.

Lower loops that are backwards may indicate someone who has unusual sexual desires.

No Loops in the Upper or Lower Letters:

Some people write letters in a printing style without loops in letters such as l and instead use frill free straight lines. These writers are serious, practical people who tend to be stoic.

The larger the handwriting, the more the writer seeks attention.

Handwriting Analysis of Realhousewife

One of Hubpage's most beloved Hubbers, RealHousewife, Kelly Umpenhour was named the MOST CHEERFUL HUBBER of 2011 and 2012. Kelly cheerfully agreed to provide a handwriting sample for analysis. Here are the results of Kelly's handwriting analysis:

Kelly's writing immediately says she is highly communicative, open, and honest. Her writing is very stylish and this trait suggests she is also very stylish in her dress and decor. Initial analysis of her writing shows she is highly sociable, responsive, and extrovert, outgoing, and cheerful. She is optimistic and upbeat with a positive attitude.

Almost every ending letter in Kelly's handwriting has a loop that curves up. This suggests Kelly is a very generous and self sacrificing person. Because it occurs on almost every letter, this writer may be generous to a fault and it is assumable that her children are very well cared for.

Kelly's writing is on the large side. This signifies that she is highly confident. She likes to be noticed, but she isn't theatrical and doesn't bring attention to herself.

The straight slant mark at the beginning of several letters suggests Kelly dislikes being told what to do and how to do it. The loops in her letter "d's" signify she she thinks philosophy is a bunch of bull and she is not impressed by it or politics. The way Kelly crosses her hubs indicates she is very self driven and sets high goals for herself.

The loops on Kelly's "y's" tells us she is a highly physical, sensual person with a high sex drive and a freaky lover. (And.. sorry fellows, she is happily married). She is extremely organized, with a great sense of decor and you can make any space beautiful. The Realhousewife is not only cheerful, but dynamic.

Detecting laziness:

Rounded Letter: Writing of this type has rounded formations. It seems as if the writer has written in comfort and at leisure. These people are lazy, luxurious, and hate to do hard work. They have all the time in the world to chat but still think that they are busy. However, they are also peace- loving, law-abiding and crave the better things in life.

Procrastination:

Each stroke in your handwriting reveals something about you. Take a look at the lower-case 't's in your handwriting and notice how you cross them. Is more of the t-bar located on the left side of the stem, more on the right, are they equally balanced, or do you see some of each? A 't' crossed predominately on the left is a sign of procrastination. When you don't finish crossing a 't', you are expressing that something is unfinished in your life. If most of your 't's are crossed on the left, then you habitually procrastinate. But is procrastination a bad thing?
What is Passive Procrastination?
If you put things off because you have trouble making decisions, when you are overwhelmed by an upcoming task, or you can't get motivated, you are a passive procrastinator. Fear, stubbornness, anger, defiance, or low self-esteem can unconsciously trigger procrastination. If you don't meet a deadline or you make mistakes in the rush to complete a task, you may feel out of control, stressed, depressed or embarrassed. Unless you don't care, which is another topic altogether!
What is Active Procrastination?
On the other hand, if you consciously put off a task or a decision because you need more time to plan or investigate, or because you already have too much on your plate, then you are actively procrastinating. You aren't avoiding a task. You are prioritizing and taking steps to successfully complete it. You may or may not finish on time, but you will not feel like a failure under those circumstances.
Procrastination is a complex trait.
Balanced t-bar handwriting sample I have only scratched the surface here. Whether you are a passive or active procrastinator, look at the nature of the things you put off to discover when and why you do so. Find ways to resolve those issues.

To help eliminate procrastination, start crossing your 't's with the same amount of t-bar on the left of the stem as on the right. You will eventually create a new neural pathway in your brain to establish the behavior of getting things done.

i dot: An “i”-dot which is placed to the left side of the stem is a sure shot sign of procrastination and also highlights negative attitude. It also points out lack of self-confidence. The placement of “i” dot to the left of the stem represents the past and reveals that the writer loves to live in the past.

Short lower loops: expose the individual entirely disinterested in physical activity.
disinterested in physical activity, possible laziness ,sedentary.

Pressure:Pressure takes a certain amount of physical exertion, and the soft-tipped pen user enjoys the easy flow of ink over the page. Soft-tipped pens are a cop-out for physical labor. However, they are also used by artists and sensual people. Check with other Trait match signs to determine if the writer is lazy.

CLARITY:
Clarity involves all of the basic factors of handwriting analysis
in a positive way. It's a good idea to keep in mind that when
clarity in a written sample is combined with-

* A slight, right slant = interest in communicating with others;
* Medium size writing = willingness to contact others physically and mentally
*Balanced expansion = reaching out to become involved.
*Even margins = good sense of self-identity within the environment.
*Good spacing between letters = generosity of time, money energy.
*Good spacing between words = interest in social contacts.
*Good space between lines = ability to think clearly and separate ideas.
* Clear formation of letters = wish to impart information and consideration for others.

Illegible writing, whether scribbled by a world-wise scientist or by your inexperienced job applicant, indicates the individual who doesn't have the time or inclination to communicate. Someone once mentioned that the less legible the writing, the more intelligent the writer. Ever since then, some people have hidden their laziness and inconsideration behind that remark.
One secretary complained, ''My boss is such a terrible writer I can hardly make out what he means. Last week he didn't read over a letter before he signed it and I had typed something all wrong. I got bawled out. I think it was his fault, don't you?''
You bet! But secretaries aren't the only ones who suffer. Ask your local pharmacist, for instance.
Illegible script is the curse of good communication, and writing is-first and foremost -communication.
Many bosses have an executive type of mind; sharp, alert, quick. But the employer who doesn't take the time or effort to make his written thoughts clear enough to be translated by a secretary or anyone else is both inconsiderate and lacking in common sense.
Speed is the prime offender. We think faster than our fingers can move. Unless control is exercised over both thoughts and fingers, the results are usually unreadable.
There are, however, other reasons for illegibility in handwriting. It may be caused by emotional stress or an illness resulting in muscular impairment or hysteria. Also, a dishonest person hides his intentions behind poor writing.

Illegibility maybe caused by more serious reasons than speed or inconsideration. When the physical or mental vitality of a writer is impaired through the use of drugs or alcohol, illegible writing is often a result. The uneven baseline is usually the first clue, signaling the lack of motor control. Letters not clearly formed due to speed may occur in everywriting at anytime, but when a sequence of letters fails to make sense, there is more than speed or inconsistency at work. If this is repeated on a page or two of writing, drop that application in the round file. You don't need the problems that can be brought to your workplace by this kind of employee.
III health often shows up in illegible writing especially if the writing also has weak pressure. There just is not enough vitality there for the writer to get through a good day's work. However, we all have our off days. If all other factors are favorable, and you might like to have him on your work team, suggest he comeback another time to repeat his writing sample.

Small letter “f”: made with return strokes turned sharply to left denotes a vindictive nature. Such a person is revengeful and very lazy.

The base line: that show pessimism is also the indicator of lazyness , if pressure is light

Building Concentration part 2:

Hi everyone!

I hope you read the previous blog. If you haven’t, please go back and read it, so that you can join us in learning about your level of concentration!

  I hope you practiced writing small and so on. Did you come to any conclusions about the ‘size’ of your handwriting? I hope you will leave me a comment and let me know!   Here are more samples of large, and small handwriting as well as medium:

If your handwriting falls in the small category, you have the ability to center attention, to the exclusion of other interest (very good concentration).

The standard height of ‘small’ handwriting is one-sixteenth of an inch-very small. This intense concentration will effect all other traits in handwriting.  Got a temper? The intensity of that temper will be greater. 

This writer will stay focused on the project at hand. He can shut out the world and concentrate on his work. This kind of writer will not have a wondering mind.

He will come off as very reserved, quiet, not liking a lot of attention on himself.  You can count on him to do well under pressure, and he will be sure to pay attention to details.

They may seem non-social, and can stay quite busy alone.  So, the very small writer is interesting, a little misunderstood, but usually very focused, and intelligent.

On the other hand…if you have large handwriting, you are a lot more social, and your attentions will be more scattered to many things. Why have one project when you can have 5 going at one time!

This writer likes to be around people, and likes attention. They really need to be appreciated, and loved by other people. They don’t feel comfortable alone.

This person would hate a desk job, he likes to interact with others. These people don’t worry about the small stuff, they just go on to something else. Don’t ignore them-just love them!

Unfortunately, they have scattered energies in all directions, which makes it harder for them to concentrate on one thing at a time. (if you are an emotional person-you will need to ‘waste’ some energy by letting off steam-concentration wouldn’t help here.)

  So the larger writer will have many interests, which can make for an interesting person.

The medium writer I guess you would say, has the best of both worlds in a way. He can give a little more attention,but not intensely.

I hope this has helped you in understanding yourself, and others a little more.  If you have any questions, I will try and answer them if I can.  Leave me a comment of how this has helped you!

Thanks, and God bless! Remember, keep your chin up, and those t-bars higher!  I leave you with Proverbs 22:4  “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.”  Amen!

-Ann

Building Concentration:

In handwriting analysis determines the writers ability to concentrate. This trait is indicated by the size of the writing. Small writing points to someone who has the ability to concentrate on minor details for long periods of time. They are not easily distracted by outside forces. These writers include scientists, researchers, bookkeepers, etc. People who write small like to work alone. They can be trusted to take on tedious tasks and follow them through to completion without being side tracked. Those who write small are usually conservative and thrifty.

Most of us write average size, indicating an average ability to concentrate. We have to force ourselves to concentrate on minor details, especially for long periods of time. Large writers are easily distracted. They have trouble concentrating and easily get "off-track." At work, these individuals should be given varying duties and assignments that are quick to complete.

Here is a sample of Albert Einstein's handwriting, actual size.


Get a pen and paper and try to write this small. You will feel your whole body go tense as you concentrate on making the small letters. I have examined this sample with a magnifying glass and every letter is shaped perfectly. It is a beautiful piece of art.
