Someone else suggested this, I can't remember who. But it was a really good idea!
You can tell a lot about a personality by handwriting- it's called graphology. Some believe it isn't reliable, but with my experience it seems to be true! They even use it in court. Anyways, let's see the different kinds of wriing we have here!

I must be crazy and have more than one personality then. My handwriting is the most inconsistent thing ever. One day it will be crystal clear and beautiful the new day it will be so bad that even I can't read it 100%. (it's at least 80% of the time bad)

I agree that handwriting says a lot about a person.

I'd post mine, but I'd have to clear off a space to put the scanner, then get the scanner out of the garage and set it up. Too much work for now. I'm not sure if most people even have a scanner, do they?

In the US, graphology (analyzing handwriting to learn about the personality of the writer) is not admissible in court. What is admissible is the analysis of handwriting to determine the authenticity of a signature or to match a questioned document to a suspect's exemplar.

While there are some qualities that can be determined by a person's handwriting (i.e., approximate age, handedness, country of origin, region where the subject grew up, and, to some extent, gender), there is no evidence to suggest that characteristics of a person's handwriting will reveal their personality.

Of course, as an endeavor not to be taken seriously, it can be fun and interesting. Much like visiting a psychic or having your palm read; there's no validity to it, but it can be fun so long as it's not taken seriously.

I have a scanner built into my printer. I rarely use it though. I will scan some my writing and post it later today (I've got an exam in like an hour).

Here's a sample of mine:

Sometimes I leave out letters or forget to dot i's and dash t's.

Let me know if the image looks a little blurry. :)

I'm using a TV as a monitor right now, so I can't really tell...

I remember in school, my handwriting was so bad no matter what they did to try to teach me, they eventually just gave up and learned to read mine specifically (Hah! I win!). Wish I could show you what it looks like, but I don't have a scanner handy.

My handwriting changes constantly. Very inconsistent. If I can I will put it up.

Heh, what does my handwriting say about me?

Wrote it on my laptop via the touch pad which allows pen writing (via a special metal stylus)

Here's a new sample of mine

Oh, there a smudge of copper paint on my finger from where I've been painting plumbing on model of an old time locomotive in the G scale for garden railways.

It's not handwriting per se, there's some in it. On a "good hands day" I can do things like this drawing for a building to go on the back side of my Gn15 narrow gauge industrial tram model railroad.
This building model is made from corrugated pasteboard boxes, cardboard, and balsa wood.

Here's mine, pic taken with my camera, so that's why it's kinda blurry:

It's kinda sloppy today; sometimes it's very very neat, but rarely is it sloppier than that.

Wow. Most of you guys have pretty good handwriting.. With much more personality(or something like that...) than mine has. I don't have any pics on the computer of my writing, but it most closely resembles hakemon's and maybe a little bit like outlier's primary school handwriting. If i take my time and go really slow i can make it look nice or fancy, but then it's more drawing to me than writing.. and i'm actually pretty good at drawing, even though i'm not good at writing.
