what your handwriting means
Since you guys know I am currently back in school studying to be a teacher I have become hyper aware of my handwriting skills. I found this article called What Does Your Handwriting Say About You and thought it was pretty interesting. I am going to highlight a few the characteristics discussed but I urge to go read the article. It is really cool.
Size
Small handwriting- research-oriented, good concentration, methodical, not always social
Large handwriting- people oriented, outgoing, outspoken, love to entertain and interlock
Right in the middle- you like to be with people, but value your own time
How Letters Are Shaped
Rounded letters- indicates creativity, artistic abilities (writing, painting, acting, etc.)
Pointed letters- shows you are more aggressive, intense, very intelligent, curious
Connected letters- you are logical, systematic, make decisions carefully
Spacing
Good deal of space- you need your freedom, to do things in your own time, don’t like to be overwhelmed or crowed.
Very little space- it shows a tremendous about of irritability and constant pressure on yourself
O’s
Open- you are talkative, social, able to express your feelings, have little secrecy
Closed- you are very personal, limited sharing of your personal feelings, introvert
Doodles
Boxes- you need structure, stability and order
Flowers- idealistic, romantic, creative
Triangles- perfectionist, structured, people that feel stuck- don’t risk easily
Circles- dreamer, creative, takes thinks personally, visionary
Smiley faces- illusionary, wanting life to be beautiful, optimistic
Color inside the box or shape- you are very intense, serious, worrier, can suggest sign of temper because of tension or frustration
Punctuation Marks
Lots of exclamation marks- ego is involved, you want to be understood, passionate
Slant
If you write upward- you tend to be optimist, hopeful, honest, ambitious, motivated
If you write downward- you tend to be negative, slightly depressed, dishonest
Do you think that people’s handwriting really says something about their personality? I will I admit that I do because a lot of these were accurate for me. Not all of them but enough to where I think there is so merit to it.
What Kelly Said 
A lot of these are accurate for me and for Jonathan. I’d be interested to see how many of them are accurate for children though. I have kids who change their handwriting on a weekly basis!
I remember when I was a kid I changed my handwriting all the time! I thought it was cool…DORK! ha!
I doodle with triangles AND flowers, which seem to be opposite. What can I say? I’m complex….
Interesting how personality can manifest into handwriting.
Those don’t match my personality at all. But very interesting study!
I’m always fascinated by handwriting analysis – especially for old historical figures. And surprisingly, it really is always on-point! Coincidence or not, I think it’s just plain cool 🙂
I love this!! I think that handwriting DOES say a lot about a person. I mean when you are younger you develop your handwriting, and it’s how YOU want it. Hopefully that makes sense. I definitely think personality & handwriting go hand in hand! 🙂
Stuff like this is so interesting to me — as silly as this sounds, my handwriting varies based on what type of pen I am using — if the ink glides smoothly, my handwriting is nice and neat and usually small, but if you have to press hard to write, then my handwriting is a total mess.
I love this! And according to what it says, my handwriting is completely on par with who I am 🙂
haha I draw boxes on EVERYTHING. Why is that not the least bit surprising?
Oh Leah that is funny! 🙂
I’m not sure I buy it, but it’s certainly interesting!
Wow, this was intriguing!
Mine describes me PERFECTLY! it’s crazy, but so interesting! 🙂
oh this is so interesting. what if youre handwriting is like a 5 year old? Probably means I need to grow up, right? haha.
James always draws boxes on scratch paper and I draw flowers. How are things? Did ya find some good shoes for bootcamp? Have I asked enough question now.
🙂
Haha…I will email you.
I think it’s possible to tell something- maybe about their current state? Because I do know my handwriting varies. Sometimes it’s more scrawled with pointy letters, sometimes it looks almost flow-y and rounded. Is that weird?
So funny…most of this stuff was right on with me!
