My handwriting gives me away

From http://www.handwritingwizard.com/

For a graphol­o­gist, the spac­ing on the page reflects the writer’s atti­tude toward their own world and rela­tion­ship to things in his or her own space.  If the inputted data was cor­rect Steven has left lots of white space on the all four bor­ders of the paper. Steven fills up just the cen­ter area of the page. If this is true, then Steven has  a par­tic­u­lar shy­ness toward peo­ple and a fear of mov­ing too fast in any direction.  In some cul­tures, respect­ing peo­ple, rules, and adher­ing to pro­to­col are ways of life. The right side of the page rep­re­sents the future and the left side rep­re­sents the past.  Steven seems a bit stuck in the mid­dle, afraid to take action. Steven seems to have a fear of look­ing bad or of cross­ing boundries.   It will be easy to work with Steven on a team, because Steven will usu­al­ly fol­low the rules. How­ev­er, this desire to respect the bound­ries can often be con­strued as a lack of con­fi­dence and peo­ple will walk over Steven if he is not careful.

Steven has  a very unusu­al low­er zone y loop.  If the data input is cor­rect, Steven’s y or g is large and opens up to the left side of the page.  This is not a com­mon trait, but the impli­ca­tions are very interesting.  As you begin to study hand­writ­ing analy­sis, you will learn any loop indi­cates imagination.  This low­er loop indi­cates the amount of imag­i­na­tion Steven has regard­ing sex and phys­i­cal things.  So, his low­er zone stroke is large, so his sex­u­al imag­i­na­tion is large and open.  Fur­ther­more, because the loop is incom­plete and extends to the left, this indi­cates a par­tic­u­lar fas­ci­na­tion with cer­tain aspects of sex­u­al­i­ty that have not been ful­filled, yet.   In a nut­shell, Steven is open to some very new ideas sex­u­al­ly and is will­ing to try any­thing once.  

Steven has a tem­per. He uses this as a defense mech­a­nism when he does­n’t under­stand how to han­dle a sit­u­a­tion. Tem­per is a hos­tile trait used to pro­tect the ego. Tem­per can be a neg­a­tive per­son­al­i­ty trait in the eyes of those around him.

One way Steven pun­ish­es his­self is self direct­ed sar­casm. He is a very sar­cas­tic per­son. Often this sar­casm and “sharp tongued” behav­ior is direct­ed at hisself.

Steven’s true self-image is unrea­son­ably low. Some­one once told Steven that he was­n’t a great and beau­ti­ful per­son, and he believed them. Steven also has a fear that he might fail if he takes large risks. There­fore he resists set­ting his goals too high, risk­ing fail­ure. He does­n’t have the inter­nal con­fi­dence that frees him to take risks and chance fail­ure. Steven is capa­ble of accom­plish­ing much more than he is present­ly achiev­ing. All this relates to his self-esteem. Steven’s self-con­cept is arti­fi­cial­ly low. Steven will stay in a bad sit­u­a­tion much too long… why? Because he is afraid that if he makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Steven to plan too far into the future. He kind of takes things on a day to day basis. He may tell you his dreams but he is liv­ing in today, with a fear of mak­ing a change. No mat­ter how loud he speaks, look at his actions. This is per­haps the biggest sin­gle bar­ri­er to hap­pi­ness peo­ple not believ­ing in and lov­ing them­selves. Steven is an exam­ple of some­one liv­ing with a low self-image, because their innate self-con­fi­dence was broken.

Because Steven has zigza­g’ed shaped ‘m’ and ‘n’ hump, Steven is an ana­lyt­i­cal thinker. His mind sifts and exam­ines facts. He inter­prets all facts by sep­a­rat­ing them, break­ing them down, and orga­niz­ing them from a crit­i­cal point of view. This pat­tern of clar­i­fy­ing facts con­tributes to his strong rea­son­ing abil­i­ty. Steven mind is con­stant­ly ana­lyz­ing all sit­u­a­tions that he encounters.

Steven will be can­did and direct when express­ing his opin­ion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don’t real­ly want his opin­ion, don’t ask for it!

Steven will demand respect and will expect oth­ers to treat him with hon­or and dig­ni­ty. Steven believes in his ideas and will expect oth­er peo­ple to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Steven uses judg­ment to make deci­sions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, col­lect­ed per­son who is usu­al­ly unex­pres­sive emo­tion­al­ly. Some may see him as unemo­tion­al. He does have emo­tions but has no need to express them. He is with­drawn into his­self and enjoys being alone. The cir­cum­stances when Steven does express emo­tions include: extreme anger, extreme pas­sion, and tremen­dous stress. If some­one gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sor­ry about it lat­er. He puts a mark in his mind when some­one angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled some­what by self-inter­est. All his con­clu­sions are made with­out out­side emo­tion­al influ­ence. He is very lev­el-head­ed and will remain calm in an emer­gency sit­u­a­tion. In a sit­u­a­tion where oth­er peo­ple might get hys­ter­i­cal, he has poise. Steven will work more effi­cient­ly if giv­en space and time to be alone. He would rather not be sur­round­ed by peo­ple con­stant­ly. In a rela­tion­ship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Say­ing “I love you” is not a need­ed rou­tine because he feels his mate should already know. The only excep­tion to this is if he has log­i­cal­ly con­clud­ed that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love ver­bal­ly. Steven is not sub­ject to emo­tion­al appeals. If some­one is sell­ing a prod­uct to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a stand­point of his sound judg­ment. He will not be tak­en in by an emo­tion­al sto­ry about some­one else. He will meet emer­gen­cies with­out get­ting hys­ter­i­cal and he will always ask “Is this best for me?”

Peo­ple that write their let­ters in an aver­age height and aver­age size are mod­er­ate in their abil­i­ty to inter­act socially.  Accord­ing to the data input, Steven does­n’t write too large or too small, indi­cat­ing a bal­anced abil­i­ty to be social and inter­act with others.  Read more about his emo­tion­al expres­sive­ness in the sec­tion on emo­tions and slant.

I’m not sure I’m com­fort­able with the fact that a web-based hand­writ­ing analy­sis could hit this close to home. I don’t think it got me 100% and I don’t agree with all its rea­son­ing. For exam­ple, I write with wide mar­gins on both sides because I’ve stud­ied book design and appre­ci­ate both rea­son­able line length and a place to put one’s thumb when hold­ing the page that does not cov­er the mate­r­i­al. On the oth­er hand, yeah. Fear of look­ing bad or cross­ing bound­ries? Guilty as charged. I hope that if I move beyond these fears I’ll still place ade­quate mar­gins on my pages.

Curi­ous as to how the rest of you think this has summed me up.

    So… it was pret­ty wrong about me. In par­tic­u­lar, it sug­gest­ed I like plan­ning, that I am fair­ly emo­tion­al, that I need time alone to recharge, and that I am timid when it comes to ques­tion­ing boundaries.

    I’m fair­ly impul­sive, have been accused of being unemo­tion­al and ruled over­much by my head, recharge around peo­ple, and go cross­ing bound­aries most of the time.

    What else? The stuff that applied had to do with a gen­er­al feel­ing of lone­li­ness or unful­fill­ment that prob­a­bly most of us do feel.

  2. I admit I feel a bit of
    I admit I feel a bit of relief that it was so wrong about you. Not sure why; I guess I just don’t like for com­put­ers to be good at get­ting at our per­son­al stuff.

    That said, of course, some­times we see our­selves as the oppo­site of the way we are in regard to some of our char­ac­ter attrib­ut­es, because we’ve made assump­tions about our­selves or because we’ve made inten­tion­al strides away from an exist­ing ten­den­cy. Dun­no. Just play­ing Advo­cat del Dia­blo for a moment.

    BTW, in what I’ve read, I think you don’t cross bound­aries that much. Sure, there are some obvi­ous arti­fi­cial social bound­aries that you dis­re­gard at will, but you seem very respect­ful of indi­vid­ual per­son­al bound­aries and seem to be upset when oth­ers don’t respect those. It’s some­thing I admire about you.

  3. When I was talk­ing about
    When I was talk­ing about bound­aries, I was talk­ing about the social bound­aries. Thanks for the com­pli­ment on the indi­vid­ual boundaries.

    I also want to say that a lot of my descrip­tion described females in general.

    A lot of humans have a lot of “stuff” in com­mon. There was a sim­ple exper­i­ment done where they hand­ed a bunch of stu­dents a “psy­chic” analy­sis of their per­son­al­i­ty. All of them said that it described them with uncan­ny accu­ra­cy. Turned out it was the same descrip­tion hand­ed to all of them.

    Stuff like that makes me doubt the cred­i­bil­i­ty of a lot of these. If I went line by line, I’m sure I would find less than half of it actu­al­ly applies to me. Even MBTI, which throws your own respons­es back at you, is so gen­er­al that about half of the descrip­tions describe me fair­ly well.

    I could prob­a­bly have an extend­ed dis­cus­sion about this stuff, about why peo­ple buy into astrol­o­gy, how they let so-called “experts” paint a pic­ture of them that they believe.

    I’m not sure all the stuff out there is bunk, and there’s prob­a­bly some­thing to be learned from the analy­sis. If some­one lists a per­son­al­i­ty trait that rings true, it’s worth acknowl­edg­ing. Could it pro­vide insight you may not have got­ten on your own? Yeah, pos­si­bly. Does it know more about you than you do? Doubt­ful, espe­cial­ly for us intro­spec­tive types. Could you be pret­ty wrong in describ­ing some of your char­ac­ter traits, as you said? Yeah, I think so, but you can just peel back anoth­er lay­er if you real­ly want to know.

    My ther­a­pist had a real­ly good way of pre­sent­ing ideas or the­o­ries, let­ting me decide if they fit. Oth­er­wise, I might just be tempt­ed to blindlya­gree with her and try to fix prob­lems I don’t actu­al­ly have.

    “Fear of look­ing bad or cross­ing bound­ries? Guilty as charged.”

    That analy­sis is so good it not only describes you but also every­one I know. Amazing! 🙂

    It is said that we sift through these “analy­ses” and pay atten­tion to the things that we believe apply to us and dis­re­gard the things we believe do not. I think that’s true, and I also think that that is a wor­thy spir­i­tu­al exercise.

    Pre­sent­ed with a list of uni­ver­sal char­ac­ter­is­tics and sit­u­a­tions, there’s a lot to be learned from going over it and fig­ur­ing out what applies to us and how.
