Very Much so.
It's pretty much all BS, you know.

Ok I guess the other one was no good as it was just notes from work... Anyway, if you want, here's a sample I wrote especially for this purpose!

long lowwer zones in your y's ; restless, job hopper
in the word really the y may mean deviant sexuality(different than the typical person)
short low t bars : low work drive
no slant: complete emtional self-control, diplomatic

You forgot about the curved Ts (think smiley faces). They mean you're generally a happy person, also showcased by the lack of slant in either direction and the dotting of your I's after the letter.

Not bad!

I am very restless (constantly playing with objects, making complicated geometrical patterns with my foot-swinging, drumming various body parts on hard surfaces...)

And the job I have now is the one I've been able to keep the longest (2.5 years)...

The only thing that's a little off is the work drive - true if I'm disinterested in the task - but if it's one of my loves, I will push myself beyond sleep / bodily functions (don't ask) to fret and freak over the details until someone says, "Ok that's enough!"

Emotionally? Yes, I do tend to keep a tight rein on them... But I've gone as far as inducing bodily self-harm when they blow... not an outcome I desire but I seem to have no control over them in those situations.

And yes, I AM a pretty happy-go-lucky person. I've often been taken advantage of, but I guess it makes me kind of lovable? Either that or oblivious... :roll:

All in all, good stuff JonDevine! I'm mildly impressed! :)

Yeah that sounds like someone with ADHD that can hyperfocus on things that interest them. So I guess
a better way to handle the interptation in the future is to say you have a low work drive for things that do not interest you. The restlessness seems to related to ADHD also.

Hmmn though I have obsessiveness and restlessness and they ruled out ADHD... But hey..


This thread made me think, I haven't tried handwriting since the age of 10, I just hate it..

Which is funny because I love to write and read, I am doing one or the other every day, when I write with a pen its pretty much scribbling every thought down in a constant flow, but joining the words together in an elegant way was always so BORING to me as a child, so I guess it never stuck.

Writing in the margins is a sign of someone who breaks the rules. But since it was a note for yourself it likely does not apply. Myself i use correct margin on the front page but I violate
the margin on the backpage( I do not want to waste the paper).

Funny you say that, TM1; I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger. I've always been puzzled by this however as I seem to have an unlimited attention span for certain things (my "obsessions" as so many on this foreum word it...) but cannot focus for the life of me on the things that I deem assinine or even simply irrelevant...

EDIT: What does it mean when the margins of your lined sheet become an entire universe of large-eyed monsters (to coincide with the hole-punches, of course...)? Hehehehe, will post an image if I can dig one up - no guarantees! :lol:

I remember reading that sloppy handwriting was a sign of great intelligence.

Analyze away!

So JonDevine or TheMachine1, do either of you want to try to analyze my handwriting? (I wrote that for that post, but it's my normal writing.)

You have long ending strokes on your letters. That may mean your willing to give your
time and energy to others.

Your slant is a little more to the right that indicates your emotional. More feeling type than the typical "logic" dominated aspie.

Your lowwer zones are extreme (it mentioned before so I'm guessing your doing it for
that reason?) If not it means extreme restlessness(aka ADHD type) I did not lookup
your personality type from threads but it seems to be **FP (I'm INFP myself).

You have high upper zones to that seems to indicate you live in a fantasy world
consistant with inattentive ADHD and *NP* personality.

You have garland connetions in your letters meaning while your likely a little introverted from your small writing, retrace loopeds your still a friendly person.
Its hard for me to say for sure if your E*** or I*** so I'm assuming your
a INFP or ENFP?
-----------------

Cool I searched and found you self report being INFP. In fairness a INFP is the kinda of
person who would post his handwriting or believe in this quasiscience.

Does changing handwriting mean that your personality evolved? Because lately I've noticed that I started closing the curve on my lower case G's, and I used to leave them open (liek a monkey tail).

I am left handed; nevertheless, we were taught to write with a rightward slant when writing in cursive. My manuscript is my "normal" hand, though, and I rarely ever use cursive. I am mostly very detached and logical, but I can have my emotional moments too.

No, I didn't make extreme lower loops because you mentioned it. I posted my handwriting sample on the first page of this thread, but no one analyzed it, so I quoted myself to repost it. I made no conscious adjustments for posting here but added doodles for bonus analytical "fun." I really make no adjustment for my handwriting from for personal use to public use, by the way.

Also, yes, I do happen to be quite restless.

I think NPA personality theory is quackery.

I don't know what garland connections are, but again, I styled my cursive handwriting from what we learned in our Ziff-Davis handwriting books from elementary school. All the loops are basically replications of what I saw in the book to the best of my ability.

I don't believe in it; actually, besides its use for identifying two handwriting samples as being written by the same person (in all likelihood), I think graphology, astrology, Enneagrams, MBTI typing, horoscopes, UFOs, ghosts, religion, and similar things are quackery. Nevertheless, sometimes I find it entertaining to see what people say (and how accurate their guesses happen to be). I don't know if it's a small bit of self-absorption to take personality quizess like that that makes it fun or what (probably is). I'd hate to meet someone who takes any one of those things seriously because I probably couldn't help but laugh while they try to explain their beliefs.

I find the distinction between thought and feeling artificial, by the way; feelings are just a subtype of thought that relates to your judgments about yourself in relation to the environment. They are another variable to guide your decision making.
