Slanting to the Right
If your handwriting slants to the right, you're probably a friendly, open
person. Think of words slanted to the right
as a person leaning forward as he or she talks to a friend.
You're the type of person who, when you spot a new kid sitting alone in
the cafeteria, will invite him or her to join
your friends. You most likely have a lot of friends- and can't wait to
make even more!
You're probably very tuned in to the future. You can't wait to go to college,
get a job, or start having adventures.
Slanting to the Left
If you write this way, you're probably a private person. You don't feel
comfortable sharing your feelings with a
person until you know that person well. It's not that you're unfriendly,
you just need a little more time to warm up
to people.
Writing Straight Up and Down
If you most often write vertically, you probably enjoy being in control.
You're cool, calm, and collected. You're
neither too attached to the past or overly wrapped up in daydreaming about
the future. You prefer to live day to
day, making the most of each moment.
Large Handwriting
In general, people who write with large handwriting are very outgoing,
confident and excited about life. They're
probably involved in a million projects. Just as their handwriting fills
up the page, they like to fill their lives with
different people and hobbies. Not surprisingly, many actors and politicians
have large handwriting.
If your handwriting is large, it might mean:
Average-Size WritingYou want to be seen as big and important. Your writing says "Hey, look at me!" You're not super-detail-oriented. Instead, you see the big picture in life. For example, you love to come up with grand schemes, such as starting a school magazine. You're great at coming up with a name for the magazine and persuading all of your friends to write articles. But when it comes to the nitty-gritty- writing, editing, printing and distributing the magazine- you're not interested. Someone else can do that, thank you very much ! You crave space in life. You hate to be told what to do (especially by parental units) and feel confined easily. Your idea of school heaven is taking all of your classes outside. You do things in a big way. Like the time you planned your best friend's surprise birthday and persuaded your parents to turn their house into a dance club, complete with a performance by the local grange band!
If your handwriting is about this size, you're probably very well balanced.
You juggle your friends and hobbies
without, for the most part, feeling overwhelmed. You're comfortable with
yourself and don't feel the need to prove
anything to anyone.
Small Handwriting
If you're P.W.S.H ( Person with Small Handwriting) , you are probably very
detail- oriented and disciplined. In
general, you're also less outgoing than people with big handwriting,. A
high percentage of scientists and
mathematicians have small handwriting.
People who write this way usually like to follow the rules i.e. they're
not likely to talk back to a teacher, even if
everyone else they know can't help but smart off to the old crab!
If you have small handwriting, if may mean:
People who write this small are often on the shy side. They "shrink" from
other people, just the way their
handwriting shrinks on the page. They're also very focused on themselves
and their activities. If you write this way,
you're probably the type who can do your math homework and listen to an
Aerosmith album at the same time.
Your powers of concentration are amazing!
Writing That Gets Larger
If your writing has a tendency to get bigger and bigger as you go along,
it may be a sign that you're tired. The more
tired you get, the less you concentrate and the bigger you write. Or you
may simply be eager to finish whatever it is
you're writing- such as a thank-you card to your aunt Ethel for the purple
Barney sweater she knitted you for your
thirteenth birthday!
Writing That Gets Smaller
The smaller your handwriting gets, generally speaking, the more interested
you are in the subject matter at hand.
For example, let's say your English teacher asks you to write an essay
on what at first sounds like a boring topic:
"Television: The Medium and Its Message." You're bummed until you realize
that this is the perfect opportunity to
vent your love/hate relationship with the characters on Melrose Place.
Once you start writing, you become so
engrossed in the essay you feel you could write for pages and pages. Your
handwriting will reflect your growing
interest by getting smaller and smaller.
Very Heavy Pressure
If you bear down this hard, you're probably totally and completely stressed
out. Feeling frustrated about school?
Your parents? Your friends? You may be taking it out on the page.
Keep in mind that kids age eleven to fourteen will write with heavier pressure
more often than adults because their
bodies are going through ( or beginning to go through ) many intense physical
and emotional changes.
Heavy Pressure
If you usually write like this, you prbably want to leave your mark on
the world, just as you leave a strong mark on
the paper. The force of your writing says "Notice me!"
You're no doubt strong, dynamic, and determined. You may only be in the
sixth grade, but if you could, you'd run
for eighth-grade president. You should easily do a better job than any
of those older kids.
Medium Pressure
Most people write with medium or average pressure. You may not have the
energy to run a marathon, but you
definitely have what it takes to keep up with other kids your age.
Light Pressure
If you usually have light handwriting, you're probably an easygoing, light
hearted person. You like to relax and
don't feel you always have to go, go, go. You also don't get rattled very
easily, even when faced with a pop essay
test on a poem you never did get around to reading.
Very Light Pressure
If you find yourself writing this lightly, it may be a sign you're feeling
insecure. You may feel as if you want to
disappear, just as your handwriting is almost doing! You probably need
to spend some time pumping up your ego,
reminding yourself of the things you do really well.
Uneven Pressure
If you write both hard and lightly within one handwriting sample, it may
mean you're distracted and worried about
something. It could also signify that you're just too busy to pay attention
to how evenly you put pressure on a pen!
Pressure on Certain Words or Phrases
If you put pressure on a specific word or phrase, you probably feel more
positive or deeply about that word or
phrase.
Tall Upper Loops
If your upper loops are long, you've got big goals in life. You aren't afraid to pursue even your tallest dreams!
Full Upper Loops
The fatter your upper loops are, the more time you spend thinking. Think
of each loop as a balloon waiting to be
filled with thoughts. Usually, the fuller the loop, the more creative and
imagination the writer.
Pointed Upper Loops
If you're a pretty stressed-out person, you probably write this way. The
more relaxed a person is, the more
rounded his or her loops are.
Stick-Figure Upper Loops
If you make your loops like this, you're probably very efficient and good
at avoiding needles work (such as making
loops when you don't need any ). You move fast and make quick, smart decisions.
Long Lower Loops
The longer your lower loops, the more restless you probably are. You're
the type who starts squirming after ten
minutes of class.
Fat Lower Loops
The fatter your lower loop, the more you want out of life. Think of each
loop as a sack waiting to be filled up- with
love, money, or the roar of a cheering crowed!
A Baseline That Goes Up
If you write uphill most of the time, it probably means you're "up" on
life and not afraid to reach for your goals.
You're also a bit of a dreamer and love to "reach for the stars."
A Baseline That Goes Down
If you write downhill naturally, it may be just because of your age. Many
children write downhill because they are
still developing their hand muscles and it's easier to write downhill than
uphill.
If an adult or teenager writes this way consistently, it may mean that
the writer is as down on life as his or her
handwriting. The person may also be scared or insecure about what the future
holds.
A Straight Baseline
If you write like this, you're on a straight and even course through life.
You know what you want in life and work
hard to get it, despite the odds.
A Baseline That Is Both Up And Down
If your baseline often shifts from up to down within one writing sample,
it's a sign that you're constantly changing.
One minute you're up, the next minute you're feeling down. One day you
want to be a nurse pracitioner, the next, a
poter. Most likely, you're also very flexible and able to go with the flow.
A Baseline That Goes Up, Then Down
If your baseline starts up and gradually works its way downward, you may
have a hard time finishing things you
start. You start a task with a lot of enthusiasm ("This weekend I'm going
to organize my room, down to every last
mismatched sock!"), then lose steam ("Whew! I've straightened one whole
drawer. Time for an MTV break!")
When Certain Words Go Up Or Down
Sometimes you may find in your writing one word or phrase that is either
dropped or raised. Some graphologists
believe that the more uphill a word is written, the more positive the writer
feels about the world.
