Analysed my own writing at the site linked by someone earlier - the traits listed are very, very INTP, with a strong T. This is really interesting, since I've been slowly coming to the conclusion that that is my best fit, despite previous suspicions of being some sort of malformed F (:eek:).

I didn't consider it particularly accurate, but perhaps my writing simply hasn't evolved enough to keep up with my thoughts. Or maybe I wasn't careful in answering. Or maybe it's all bollocks.

May post own writing here at some point - walfin, I'd be interested in your analysis. Haven't worked out computers entirely yet though. Will make effort (not really).

Thanks :)

Edit: Oh God, I just noticed what the problem was... sorry, I should have checked first.

Logical, compliant, a taste for the finer things in life.

Sarcastic.

Adymus & you are probably done pretty quickly at night.

You are a natural pessimist but you try to control the negativity. Reasonably stable emotionally.

Not very ambitious. You procrastinate, take things easy, and "breeze" through life.

Am I right?

Hehe, I wouldn't've realised that there was a backlog if that other handwriting thread hadn't been started.

I just remembered that this is something I used to do at the other place.

All right, post your handwriting samples pronto! :D First come first serve. No guarantees. I disclaim all civil liability including negligence.

Any other amateur graphologists may feel free to analyse handwriting too. This could be a place for general discussion of graphology as well.



*Edit: I posted one in cursive a little lower in the thread if that's more useful.

Aggh, I just noticed some misspellings. That's what I get for being in a hurry, I suppose :P

...seems like kind of a cop-out to describe someone on an INTP as "logical"... does that mean i'm super logical? anyway, the only one i really agree with from that list is compliant. i'm only sarcastic when i'm pissed off.

oh wells.

I meant that you are more logical than you are intuitive.

Not all of what I say is necessarily accurate. Sarcastic & compliant both came across strongly; so did procrastination but that is true for many INTPs.

Can I take a crack at it too?

This handwriting sample shows a great ability to concentrate, even on small details. There is a lot of persistence, possibly to the point where the effort isn't worth the rewards, but if this person said he'd do something, I would believe he'd follow through. There are signs of efficiency, and wanting to avoid unnecessary effort. This person can be very secretive and finds it hard to open up (really? on an INTP forum?). The writer is modest, but has reasonable self-confidence. This person likes to keep his personal space personal (again, not a surprise here) and can start out very friendly and approaching, but soon withdraw. There are signs of being rather down and depressed right now, with low energy, but that may be a temporary thing. Also, I would say that the writer is fairly young, keeps a level head most of the time, and works hard to be organized. The writer is also scrupulously honest and direct.

What do you think, Anamalech? Walfin, do you read it the way I do?

Concentrate - Yeah
Small Details - Especially on small details.
Follow through - I always keep my promises
Efficiency - Yeah XD
Hard to open up? - Yeah
Modest - I think so
Self-confidence - Reasonable, yeah.
Personal Space - Yaah
Withdraw- Yeah
Low Energy - Hell yes...
Level head - most of the time, yeah
Organized? - Not at all.
Honest and Direct - Bingo.

This was fairly accurate...how did you acquire this skill?

Hey, I said tries hard to be organized, not succeeds. :)

I started learning it back in high school but didn't get good at it until years later when I got really interested and practiced a lot. Honestly I am out of practice now, so I hauled out my favorite book to remind me of some details. I didn't spend enough time on it to do a really good job. Maybe 15 minutes. Not having the physical sheet in front of me and not having a signature (which would be impractical for this forum) made it a little harder. I actually did it for a company I worked for, not as my main job, but during hiring. I also found some fraudulent signatures while I worked there, which became part of a criminal investigation. The main thing is to keep in practice so you don't lose your eye for it.

There are usually multiple signs for everything, so if you see a trait in writing, you look for other signs to back it up. Here were some of the indicators I noticed, if you are interested. I'm not listing all of them, though, because I don't have time.

Concentration - came from the small size and legibility of your writing. Small legible writing takes concentration and is a good indicator of it.
Small Details - Again, the small size mattered, plus the fact that you always put i-dots, t-bars, proper punctuation, etc.
Follow through - Your writing is completely connected wherever practical. Mine is like that too. It shows great persistence, so I would expect you to hold to any commitment you made, even if only to yourself.
Efficiency - I would imagine practically everyone on this forum would show the cardinal signs of efficiency: leaving off beginning and ending strokes.
Hard to open up - Completely closed and looped ovals (like small o and a) show this.
Modest - I saw this in your capitals, which are mostly not overly large or elaborate (except for the letter L, which you seem to like.)
Self-confidence and emotional balance show up in your nearly vertical writing
Personal Space - You have plenty of space around your words, and around your entire paragraph. People who like their space tend to take it on paper.
Withdraw - This was your right margin. You started with such a narrow one, which shows friendliness, but it quickly widened as you wrote more lines. This doesn't mean unfriendliness, just that it is hard to maintain that closeness after a while.
Low Energy - The first thing I noticed about your writing was that it slants downhill. That is a sign of someone who is feeling down or has low energy. It is a common trait in teens, which is why I guessed you were young, and it is really marked in your writing.
Level head - again, nearly vertical writing shows good emotional balance, and your writing is clear and well-spaced.
Organized? - Not at all. But you do keep your lines and words untangled, and it is legible, and you didn't run out of space anywhere. These are signs of someone who plans ahead and thinks clearly. You may have a messy life but I bet you have an organized mind.
Honest and Direct - This was also very clear. I didn't see a single sign of dishonesty, which means someone who is scrupulously honest. Directness appears in the lack of beginning and ending strokes, and the fairly even baseline, which only wavers a bit (a sign of diplomacy).

It was really neat that you shared your handwriting online.

Why not? Tomorrow is going to be very busy, but I can probably get to it in the afternoon sometime. A whole page written in ink, on unlined paper, is best, but I'll work with whatever you post.

By all means take your time; I'm in no hurry, just curious :D.
I'll write something and post it in a bit. Cursive or regular handwriting?

I know I've posted before but....
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii316/saffyangelis/writing.jpg?t=1268254133

I started off with the left handed writing on the right of the paper, then I wrote my left handed writing. My writing's changed a bit since I last posted here, and I want to see if the analysis of my writing has changed a lot.

It looks kinda big on the picture... it was written on a sheet of paper that's about half of an A4 sheet, but I turned it sideways.

Fixed it now I think.

I had to upload it to photobucket instead, and that freezes the computer I'm using up more =/

Okay, Alice?, I took a look and worked a bit harder on it than on Anamalech's. I also included much of what I was looking at. I only had time for the Shakespeare. Let me get back to you on the other sample later. It is getting late.

Some characteristics were reinforced very strongly by several traits:
self-control
conscientiousness
balance
caution
honesty
precision
good judgment
intelligence
perseverance

See what you think. I didn't write down everything, again, because it would take too long. I mostly wrote down the primary things that were so strongly reinforced.

Vertical writing indicates a high degree of self-control and the mind ruling the emotions. The writer is probably undemonstrative and cautious, but note that this does not mean unfriendly.

The writing is level, and the baseline quite even, which shows conscientiousness and perseverance, and again, self-control.

It is hard to tell in an image how large the letters are, but they seem to be medium to smallish, which is a sign of a moderate, reasonable person, with a respectable ability to concentrate.

The capitals are only slightly higher than the rest of the writing, which is a sign of modesty and poise.

The writing is completely connected, a sign of high perseverance, a person who never gives up or fails in a commitment. The connections are even, which shows good judgment and reasonableness.

Angular writing above a curved baseline shows a soft-hearted person who assumes an appearance of toughness, and is also a sign of a sharp, critical mind.

Lightly closed ovals are a sign of an introvert, cautious, discreet, and reserved.

The whole thing is well-spaced, a sign of clear thinking, aesthetic sense, and self-discipline. The even margins back up the careful, controlled characteristics.

Legibility shows intelligence, clear thinking, honesty, and courtesy. A careful, conscientious person.

The t-bars are very short and show restraint and reserve, and the i-dots are precisely placed, showing exactitude and concentration, poise, and conscientiousness. Same with the conventional, neat punctuation.

Short beginning and ending strokes show practicality and efficiency, and directness.

The signature is consistent with the rest of the handwriting, though a bit larger and underscored, showing pride and self-confidence, but also honesty and loyalty.

Lower zones are rather small, showing fairly low energy.

On the whole, this shows a very self-controlled, reserved, cautious person with good judgment. The writer is very reasonable and keeps a sense of perspective, with a keen intelligence and the discipline to use it well. The sample shows honesty, clarity of thought, precision, and a tough exterior covering a gentle nature. (I'd hire you. :))

I'm not sure how much more could be determined from a sample online, because it is so hard to determine the size, covering strokes, pressure, evenness, etc. For that matter, I'm not sure how much more I would spot, since I am as I said a bit out of practice. I'm sure getting some this week, though.

Wow... I am amazed at how incredibly accurate your desciption is. I'm not sure anyone's descibed me so precisely before. There are a couple things missing of course, but those are sides of myself that only emerge when I'm at my most vulnerable, and so they rarely see the sunlight. What is especially mind-boggling is that you have inferred all of that only from a small sample of my handwriting. You have a true talent. Thank you!
And I see you're also in CA, so hiring me's not out of the question ;).

I'm glad you are pleased. I should have said, if I were an employer, I would hire you. Alas, I am not, but I think anyone who did hire you would be lucky to have you as an employee.

I like the haiku, Hawkeye. I did this very quickly, so there aren't that many details, but I am pretty sure what I did do is right.

Your handwriting is very nice. Mature, emotionally balanced, artistic. It shows a lot of
  • intuition (disconnected letters),
  • a frank and open nature (legibility, well-spaced, open ovals),
  • high intelligence and clear thinking (organized, legible, tall upper zones, careful punctuation, omitted beginning and ending strokes, printed forms),
  • honesty (legibility, very lightly inclined, open ovals, no corrections, no signs of dishonesty),
  • originality and imagination (unusually shaped i-dots, printed capitals, leaving off beginning and end strokes, tall upper zone),
  • and energy (firm and long lower zone strokes, even pressure).
Neat! The artistry comes through very clearly. Just from a glance I would know you were artistic in some way. (The picture with the guitar DID back me up on this, as did your choice to write haiku, but the rhythm in your writing is fairly pronounced, too.)

Hmmmm, Ashitaria, I did finally get in (I tried a different browser and then logged in again), but I think it will have to be bigger. I can't really see the sample well enough to analyze it.

Well, Ashataria, I'll give it a try, but the samples are pretty indistinct on my computer, so I will get less than usual.

The overall look of it is fairly well organized and laid out. That is a sign of someone who plans well and is, of course, organized. The writing appears to have a rhythm to it, which is hard to explain, but "I know it when I see it." That is a sign of someone with artistic talent or skill, most often music. It is clear even from a blurry sample that you have a strong aesthetic sense, are highly intuitive, and also original. You have a sort of half-printed way of writing that indicates someone who goes her own way and likes to communicate clearly, which I think goes along with being artistic.

Your upper zones look fairly tall, a sign of imagination, and your lower zones look sort of short, a sign of low energy, but it isn't extreme. As far as I can tell your writing is rather angular, a sign of a sharp mind and an independent thinker, but also someone who can be rather blunt. However, your baselines are a bit wavy, so I expect you offset that with a fair amount of diplomacy.

I had already seen your profile, so I know you are quite young, but your handwriting is more mature than that. It shows a straightforward nature and self-confidence. There are basically no beginning strokes or ending strokes, and no adornments on your letters, which are all pretty even in size, showing moderation, poise, self-control, and directness. The vertical writing is a sign of self-control and intellect ruling feelings, and also reserve.

Even if I can't read it too well, it looks like the original sample is pretty legible, a sign of intelligence and courtesy. It looks like the ovals are closed but not looped, which is a sign of someone reserved and discreet.

I don't know that I can get much more, but if I was looking at it right, I would say you are a reasonable, reserved, self-controlled, intelligent, direct, and above all highly original person.

I didn't look at the last sample where you wrote bigger because it needs to be the way you really write. I hope you'll let me know how much I got right.

Hehe, cheers for that. I'd say you were pretty close on the mark except for the high intelligence. ^^

I consider myself to be of average intellect with an unconventional way of assimilating information. :)

You have a sort of half-printed way of writing that indicates someone who goes her own way and likes to communicate clearly, which I think goes along with being artistic.

Your upper zones look fairly tall, a sign of imagination, and your lower zones look sort of short, a sign of low energy, but it isn't extreme. As far as I can tell your writing is rather angular, a sign of a sharp mind and an independent thinker, but also someone who can be rather blunt. However, your baselines are a bit wavy, so I expect you offset that with a fair amount of diplomacy.

I had already seen your profile, so I know you are quite young, but your handwriting is more mature than that. It shows a straightforward nature and self-confidence. There are basically no beginning strokes or ending strokes, and no adornments on your letters, which are all pretty even in size, showing moderation, poise, self-control, and directness. The vertical writing is a sign of self-control and intellect ruling feelings, and also reserve.

Even if I can't read it too well, it looks like the original sample is pretty legible, a sign of intelligence and courtesy. It looks like the ovals are closed but not looped, which is a sign of someone reserved and discreet.

I don't know that I can get much more, but if I was looking at it right, I would say you are a reasonable, reserved, self-controlled, intelligent, direct, and above all highly original person.

I didn't look at the last sample where you wrote bigger because it needs to be the way you really write. I hope you'll let me know how much I got right.

Music- I have been told that I am very talented at that, and many instructors have recognized that in me, but I do not enjoy music with rigid rules, and I'm far too lazy to get anywhere in this area. I'm an accompanist in a choir starting from next year onwards, but...

Intuition- This is something that I don't use very often, but in the rare times it comes, I usually follow it, though it sometimes leads me nowhere. I have learned however, to follow logic over intuition when I get both, but when I have nothing but intuition....

Original- Very. I love being original, I hate being ordinary. If INTPs were common types, I would immediately hate myself.

Communication- I communicate very well with others though I am reserved, and I often crack jokes. People usually get me and laugh, and I enjoy doing that, but I tend to avoid crowds when ever necessary.

Bluntness- Very. This bluntness side is shown only to people whom I know very well though, with others I simply crack jokes.

Independent- To a fault. All I can say is that I love the library.

Artistic- Meh, never saw myself that way. But I really like abstract paintings and beautiful landscapes. I never do actively paint, draw or go to museums (as a matter of fact I hate drawing or painting) but I know a really nice piece of art when I see it.

Intelligent- Never saw myself that way either. In fact, one of the main reasons why I gave a sample of this writing is to see what you can derive from my intelligence. If I am to say anything though, I'm first glad that my hand-writing doesn't show me as stupid, and that secondly, at least my self-esteem won't be decimated.

Organized- Eh? Well maybe, I like categorizing things and people, and my desk isn't totally messy, but I see myself as disorganized. I do however, plan ahead, though I usually don't follow it...

Like a"P" :P

Self-confident- You could say that. I'm not afraid of rejection, what people think about me, whether I fail or not (because I really don't care if I fail or not), but I am frequently worrying about how I compare to other people and if I'm adequate or not. But I usually am prepared to give everything a try (like wearing my shirt inside-out, not wearing socks, wearing high-heeled shoes to school for a day, dancing in PE, trying ab-sailing, reading a new book, trying out new music).

Diplomacy- Another one of the reasons why I sometimes feel different to other INTPs: the ability to make people feel at ease. Mind you, I've not always had it, in all schools before high school, I was widely ignored/hated, but since high school (6 months ago), I've had this ability to get along with almost everybody. Still don't know why though. Perhaps because I have matured greatly?


This description of me makes me feel like a girl...:o

A couple of people have objected to my spotting signs of high intelligence in their writing, saying they don't agree.

It brings up an interesting question: what the heck do I mean if I write that there are signs of high intelligence?

Actually, I mean there are signs in the writing that match my reference materials, such as: unadorned or simplified letters, legibility, nice spacing, evenness of pressure and size, fast writing, tall upper zone, fluid writing such as a g made like a figure 8, i-dots that look like accents or are after the letter i, small size indicating good concentration, good proportions in the writing, printed forms, and so on.

Many of these are signs of other things as well, such as a strong aesthetic sense or good imagination. I'm not certain aesthetics and imagination aren't parts of intelligence, though.

But now that I think of it, I have no idea what I mean by high intelligence. I love it when I come across an unquestioned assumption of mine. But I will probably keep writing it when I see it.

Anamalech is moderately outgoing. His emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, he can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. He has the ability to put himself into the other person's shoes.

Anamalech will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes he will be happy, the next day he might be sad. He has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because he is in between. Psychology calls Anamalech an ambivert. He understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, he will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." He doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing him to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to him. He puts himself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet he will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Anamalech is an expressive person. He outwardly shows his emotions. He may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Anamalech is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. He weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when he finally has to. He basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

Anamalech tends to write a bit smaller than the average person. When a person's letters are small and tiny, this indicates an ability to focus and concentrate. This character trait is a huge asset in careers like math, science, race car driving, and flying planes. However, if Anamalech writes tiny all of the time, he will also display characteristics of someone who is socially introverted. Anamalech will often sit on the sideline and watch others get the attention at parties. he might be willing to open up and be warm, but only in small groups or a select group of people. When he is busy working on a project, it is common for all other noises and distractions to just fade away and his ability to focus is incredible. When he says "he didn't hear you", he really means, he didn't hear you.

Anamalech will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Anamalech believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Anamalech is secretive. He has secrets which he does not wish to share with others. He intentionally conceals things about himself. He has a private side that he intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in his past.

Anamalech has a desire for attention. People around Anamalech will notice this need. He may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on his own character.

In reference to Anamalech's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Anamalech slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Anamalech can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Anamalech is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Anamalech basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.

One way Anamalech punishes himself is self directed sarcasm. He is a very sarcastic person. Often this sarcasm and "sharp tongued" behavior is directed at himself.

Anamalech is selective when picking friends. He does not trust everyone. He has a select group of people that are truly close to him, usually two or three. He is careful when choosing his inner circle of friends.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Anamalech has left lots of white space on the right side of the paper. Anamalech fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Anamalech has an unhealthy relationship to the past and has a fear of moving forward. The right side of the page represents the future and Anamalech seems unwilling to face the fear of getting started living now and planning for the future. Anamalech seems to be clinging to past events and spending lots of time thinking about what happened. It would be best to leave the past behind and move on. Stop crowding that left margin.

I'm not telling you, stalker! :P
Ashitaria uses judgment to make decisions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see him as unemotional. He does have emotions but has no need to express them. He is withdrawn into himself and enjoys being alone.The circumstances when Ashitaria does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sorry about it later. He puts a mark in his mind when someone angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All his conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. He is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, he has poise.
Ashitaria will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. He would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because he feels his mate should already know. The only exception to this is if he has logically concluded that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love verbally.
Ashitaria is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of his sound judgment. He will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. He will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and he will always ask "Is this best for me?"

q24_1094009749.jpeg
Ashitaria will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

q27_1094010189.jpeg
Ashitaria's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Ashitaria that he wasn't a great and beautiful person, and he believed them. Ashitaria also has a fear that he might fail if he takes large risks. Therefore he resists setting his goals too high, risking failure. He doesn't have the internal confidence that frees him to take risks and chance failure. Ashitaria is capable of accomplishing much more than he is presently achieving. All this relates to his self-esteem. Ashitaria's self-concept is artificially low. Ashitaria will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because he is afraid that if he makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Ashitaria to plan too far into the future. He kind of takes things on a day to day basis. He may tell you his dreams but he is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud he speaks, look at his actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Ashitaria is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.
q28_1094010270.jpeg
Ashitaria is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect his ego when he feels hurt. He pokes people harder than he gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
q31_1094010769.jpeg
Ashitaria is very self-sufficient. He is trying not to need anyone. He is capable of making it on his own. He probably wants and enjoys people, but he doesn't "need" them. He can be a loner.
q31_1094010799.jpeg
Ashitaria is having a lack of physical energy at the time this handwriting was written. If someone has very short and straight down lower loops (like in the y or g), this indicates this person's physical drive (activity or sex) is compromised. Usually, this indicates the person simply isn't interested in getting too physical right now. This could be a temporary mood which often happens when the body is sick and is healing. Or, this could be a result of an emotional or physical issue that is effecting Ashitaria 's energy level and interest in sex. Sex doesn't seem to be a priority at the moment.


Eh? *checks my handwriting*

I must have been really down when I wrote that text I was analyzing.

Yay for messy writing~

Hm...

Mary has difficulty making decisions. Her mind changes constantly. She lives in an emotional tug of war. Mary could be described like a thermometer. Today warm and friendly, yet tomorrow she may be distant and cold, not wanting to be close to anyone.Some research indicates that people with a severe variety in the slant of their handwriting have an inability to tolerate sugar and are suffering the side-effects of too much sugar in their diet. If moods swings are a reoccurring issue, investigate the diet.
If Mary encounters a situation she cannot handle she frequently pulls into herself. She feels her emotions are secure if she is withdrawn. When she has solved the problem she can be very outgoing and again need other people's companionship. Some see Mary as very moody, but it it would be more accurate to say she has two complete personalities that she chooses depending on the circumstance. This type of person is often hard to understand because no one knows what personality she is exhibiting today. She may not be bothered by something one minute, then the next minute become upset at the same thing. It is very difficult to pin down Mary's emotional expressiveness.
q21_1094009309.jpeg
People that write very large tend to be very social and friendly. It seems Mary has this type of writing. This indicates a need for people and a particular natural ability to socialize and be the life of the party. Now, if Mary also has specific fears (like fear of criticism or fear of trust) then she will deny she is the life of the party, because fear has overcome her natural inclination to be social. People with large handwriting tend to be effective at anything that requires interaction with lots of people. she is a people person.
q24_1094009749.jpeg
Mary will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!
q25_1094009924.jpeg
Diplomacy is one of Mary's best attributes. She has the ability to say what others want to hear. She can have tact with others. She has the ability to state things in such a way as to not offend someone else. Mary can disagree without being disagreeable.

q31_1094010901.jpeg
Mary has difficulty trusting anyone. In fact, she trusts no one completely. This is a result of her trust being betrayed in the past. She has closed up, thus ceasing to allow close friendships. Mary truly wants close friends and desires physical relationships, but she fears she will get hurt, again. She is lonely, yet has a crying need for close friends. This trait can cause much unhappiness. However, it can be changed.
q31_1094010938.jpeg
Mary has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.


Also adding my own:

I see a high zone, indicating good imagination, and the way your "dots" are way above your "I"s also indicated that you tend to day-dream alot. I also see some print and some cursive, indicating that you like to go your own way. You also reserved and blunt, indicated by your "O's. You also have very fast writing, indicating that you tend to jump to conclusions. Your baseline also slant downwards which says you are a pessimist, but that could also mean that you are a realist.

Am I right?
