I just read another story of a person who wasn't sure if handwriting analysis is real or not. In the end, they concluded it was fairly accurate but had some doubts about parts of it. Well, how well DO you know yourself? Are you willing to accept others may NOT see you as you think you are? In my handwriting classes, one other lady and I were the odd men out. Most had sharp changes of direction, heavier pressure, and more upright writing than we had. Now, I must admit, mine has changed some but not all that much. Mary and I were garland writers with scooped connections and sometimes endings. Mary has passed on as has our teacher, but oh we had such great classes. Often when we had a lot of questions that became our next class. Each of us had to read and research our question and present the answer at a later class. The first time he did that to me our class was about 3 minutes long but not once the discussion started and everyone else gave their ideas and opinions. People will ask how do you see vanity, or stubbornness, or attention to detail. The reason why we don't tell you is the old adage "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Almost nothing is shown in one place but by combining signs and how often they occur we can make a very educated statement of how you are and sometimes why. That is how handwriting analysis can be of great value to psychologists, whose patients may take years to tell all of their secrets. For teachers, who then have some insight on how to handle a difficult student. Are they extremely bright and bored? Do they have a learning difficulty that is undiagnosed? Our elementary school had a habit of putting out a bed sheet and letting teachers and students autograph it at the start of the year. One of the teachers and I had great fun going over the names of her students and the siblings she had had in earlier years. We went of the how they were different or the same. One boy I knew was a good student, always dresses well, very polite. Where most of the students had signed across the sheet. He had gone to the other side of the table so when hung his signature was upside down. Just a small hint of rebellion at always doing the "proper thing". We also volunteered for a local church's fair doing "quickies", For $5 we would tell people 5 things about themselves with the money to go to the church fund. I loved doing children in front of their parents because sometimes it helped them our for the parents to understand they were not doing things to drive them crazy it was just them. I told one of the father's he often forgot little things and later they came by laughing and said he took his watch off in the bathroom to wash and later found he had left it. Luckily it was still there when he went back for it.
