What does handwriting say about people?

[SyddyKitty]

So, supposedly a person's handwriting says something about the person themselves. Any truth to that matter? Any examples or possible meanings from handwriting 'experts'?

Google graphology.

I used to be quite interested in this, but it was a while ago, so I don't trust my memory so much to say too much. Many aspects are very interesting and I still look closely at people's handwriting and signatures.

If you study it a bit and then look at someone like Hitler's handwriting it is very revealing.

What handwriting says about a person is that they are literate.


Other than that... what it says about a person is what the writing actually SAYS... since they wrote it.

Graphology- especially in today's world, is no different than phrenology.

I would think that people who are sloppy writers are hurried folk, who feel like they have more important things to do. Or is that just me?

or maybe they have a cramp- or essential tremor- or are missing a thumb-

Doctors tend to have the worst handwriting.

Hopefully it's not a reflection of their work.

If I am focused and relaxed I have great penmanship, If I am hurried or stressed, it's a little sloppy.

What about those who are ambidextrous like me? :-D

The thing that my handwriting says about me is, I am a person with rubbishy handwritting with not much to say and rubbishy literacy skills :tongue:

It is a very interesting subject. There is a lot of truth in it.

It says how much time they spent practicing it as a child and what bad habits and shortcuts they picked up along the way. Hoorah.

In the case of my father's sister, a handwriting analysis was able to tell us that she was a greedy, backstabbing bitch. :biggrin1: She made changes to my grandfather's will and forged his signature.

No, it's a reflection of all those years of having to take notes quickly in darkened lecture halls.
