Handwriting Analysis
Although we were all taught similar letter formations in school, no two of us write exactly the same. That is because the way the brain is wired is reflected in the way we write. The greater the differences in two individuals writing, the more dissimilar the two are in personality. The more similar the handwriting, the more similar the individuals are in personality. If your son writes similarly to your husband, they will probably be much alike, if you and your best friend write similarly, there is a reason why - the two of you are very much alike.
If your handwriting changes drastically from one time to another, then you probably have two different personalities, maybe one for work and another for when you are with family and friends. This is not a split personality, but a healthy adaptation to the demands of life. Perhaps you have even noticed that your handwriting differs when you are writing notes to yourself and when you are writing a friend, or when you are writing love notes and when you are angry. Letter formations and writing styles have some stable features, and others that change from day to day or even moment to moment. Handwriting is much like a photograph in that the presentation is still you, whether you are dressed casually or formally, are happy or mad, sober or drunk.
Although handwriting is a conscious act, the unconscious is revealed by the letter formations and writing style, and thus a trained handwriting analyst is able to get a very clear picture of the writer’s attitudes and motivations. The greatest benefit of having your handwriting analyzed is that not only can the analyst tell what you do, but he/she can also tell you why you act that way. Thus the analyst can offer a perspective of your personality that permits you to see yourself more clearly and yet more sympathetically. The following are a couple of examples where my interpretation of the handwriting allowed the writers to see themselves in a more positive light.
One client who is a very competent supervisor shared with me the fear that her employees "hated" her. She obviously was hurt by this belief. I told her that her handwriting revealed that her lack of close relationships at work was due to her uncompromisingly high standards. When I counseled her that "You can't have it all", she then could accept her lack of friendships with her employees. She was deservedly proud of her reputation as a supervisor who demanded the best from her employees.
Another client, a woman who felt guilty for staying at home while her husband supported the family, was considering going to work as a secretary and asked me for my advice. I told her that her handwriting indicated she was extremely efficient and organized, that she was great at managing details, and would certainly be successful as a secretary, . . .maybe at a school. Her handwriting indicated she was the mother of her neighborhood, treated each child as if he/she were her own, and often had a house full of children. She was the one who organized the block parties and arranged for food to be brought in during difficult times. Again, I counseled this woman, "You can't have it all." She would not have the time and energy to be so involved with the neighborhood children and the neighborhood in general if she were managing a full time job as well as her husband and three children, but she could be involved in the community in a bigger way as a school secretary. We all have to make choices in life. What we do, as well as the valid reason for our doing it that way, is demonstrated by our handwriting.
It is often said that handwriting analysts can determine everything but one's age and sex from handwriting. I don't find that to be the case. At times I find that some traits do not always appear in the handwriting, and rarely, the handwriting demonstrates a trait the individual once had, but has now outgrown.
My personal research tells me that I am 91 percent accurate in the things I tell my clients. Room for error results from the many details of the handwriting that must be considered. Not only must the analyst attribute the proper trait to each detail of the writing, but the analyst must also weigh the importance of each trait, and judge how that quality modifies the rest of the traits. Every small detail the analyst misses and every misjudgment of weight will have some effect on the accuracy of the analysis. I encourage you to contact me so that we can start studying and analyzing your own handwriting. You will be surprised at how much you can benefit from even an introductory knowledge of handwriting.
