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
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.
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.
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.
