Ever wonder what your handwriting says about you?
A lot, a graphologist would say--and chances are,
not all of it would be pretty. To give you a taste of the
messages you may be sending every time you write
a note, we've put together a list of ten handwriting secrets
in the graphologist's sack. Be warned, though: Graphology
is too complex to be boiled down into universal nuggets.
So, take these with a grain of salt (and don't break out your
prison flip-flops just yet).
1. Are your Us and Ws rounded on their bottoms?
You're sensitive and maybe poetic.
2. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top?
The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have.
3. Do you loop your Cs at the top?
Then, to quote Carly Simon, you're so vain.
4. Are your As and Os tightly closed?
Perhaps you're hiding something.
5. Do your letters slant every which way?
If so, then yikes. Only 10 percent of the general population
has a wobbly slant--compared with 70 to 80 percent
of convicted felons.
6. Do you have the "felon's claw"?
It's another hallmark of the criminal, and it occurs when you
bring a letter straight down, then attach a claw-shaped curve
to its end--say when you're writing the lowercase y.
7. Is your signature different from your regular handwriting?
Then perhaps you're putting on an act.
8. Do the connecting swoops between your letters droop?
Maybe you have a martyr complex, and are carrying the
weight of the world on your shoulders.
9. Is your handwriting spiky and angular?
Relax. There's no need to be so tense.
10. Are your letters a bit squatty?
If they're biggest in the middle zone, and don't extend much
up or below the baseline, then you're perhaps a bit childish.
The Disney logo, based on Walt Disney's handwriting, is a
good example of this.
