10 Secrets Your Handwriting Might Reveal
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.

These ten tips come from Handwriting Analysis: Putting It to Work for You by Andrea McNichol, and Handwriting Analysis by Karen Kristin Amend and Mary Stansbury Ruiz.

1. Are your Us and Ws rounded on their bottoms? You’re sensitive and maybe poetic.

:open_mouth: i dunno if i am really sensitive or poetic (which some people accused me for) but my Us and Ws are really round :blush:

2. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top? The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have.

middle.. that means i am moderate in my ambition?:halo:?

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.

that is an accusation :topic:

**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. **

My letters are all in same direction, that is straight or umm lil bit slanted to right :-p

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.

-Nope-

**7. Is your signature different from your regular handwriting? **

-NOPE-

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.

i try not to drop it and 99% of the times i succeed halo

9. Is your handwriting spiky and angular? Relax. There’s no need to be so tense.

Thanks phew but mine can’t be regarded as really angular.. does that mean I need to be tense:rolleyes:

**10. Are your letters a bit squatty? **

Yes!

  1. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top? The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have.

It doesn't even intersect. Mine goes over the top.

  1. Do you loop your Cs at the top? Then, to quote Carly Simon, you're so vain.

Sometimes.

  1. Are your As and Os tightly closed? Perhaps you're hiding something.

Yes. Perhaps I am.

  1. 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.

Occasionally. I can't always get them to slant at the same angle.

  1. 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.

I loop it back and turn it into a riandrop sort of thing.

  1. Is your signature different from your regular handwriting? Then perhaps you're putting on an act.

Nope.

  1. 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.

I didn't get that.

  1. Is your handwriting spiky and angular? Relax. There's no need to be so tense.

Not spiky. Very curvy.

  1. 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.

Yep :D

Re: 10 Secrets Your Handwriting Might Reveal

  1. Are your Us and Ws rounded on their bottoms? You're sensitive and maybe poetic.

- Yes, they are rounded. But I am not poetic or sensitive.

  1. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top? The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have.

- I always miss the damn t - does that mean I am ambition-less?

  1. Do you loop your Cs at the top? Then, to quote Carly Simon, you're so vain.

No loops. Only fruit loops in the mornings

  1. Are your As and Os tightly closed? Perhaps you're hiding something.

I always make sure they are closed. it gives me an uneasy feeling if there is a gap.

Screw this. It is revealing too much of me.

Yes. How can a U not be rounded at the bottom?

Near the top. I'm ambitious, but lazy, so whats the use some say.

No. But I can still be vain at times.

No, I write too fast to notice.

Usually slants to the right.

No, not in manuscript, if thats what you mean.

No, its just as disgusting. I put an act regardless, sometimes.

Dont think so. I thought martyrdom can be a good thing.

No. Dont we all get tense at times?

I haven't "written" anything recently to look at my "hand-writing" and analyse it, "yellow-sticky-notes" don't count.

Does selection of a font reflect anything? Can I change my font?
