This is a new way to collect handwriting samples which has been great fun. We've been at this now for more than thirty years, and should be able to give you a pretty quick overview here of what's there in your handwriting. If you would like to have a deeper look into things, feel free to let us know: write back and ask questions or make any comments you'd like. We'll get back to you accordingly. Also, it would be nice when you finish reading the response here for you to return to the Web a couple minutes and fill out a "How'd We Do" rating form at http://WWW.HWA.ORG/Rating.shtml so that others can have be benefit of your evaluation, too. People often ask us what it is we look at to make the determinations we do about your hand (HW sample.) In general, the technique we use means looking at several things simultaneously to gain an overall view of the handwriting, (known in psychology as a 'gestalt view') so as to ascertain some general points which appear to show up as 'unique' in your particular hand. Having looked at thousands of samples over the years, we can usually fairly instantly identify certain traits we see which particularly stand out. Things we're looking at include slope, slant, spacing, margins, white space on the page, general form, loopies, sharpness, and height of the letters within their zones (upper strokes, middle zone, lower zone strokes) and distance between characters, words, lines. Each formation has its own interpretative value in a hand and those which particularly stand out in your particular combination are what we use to make these specific remarks. We can't really (for an intro reading like this) go over each and every specific trait found in your handwriting in depth, but if there's something you have a question about and would like to write back and ask about it, feel free to do so. This is intended to be a general overview of traits evident in your HW. In the case of your sample, probably the first thing which stands out is your tendency to keep within the lines of what we call the "Good Little Girl!" This would give you behavioral tendencies of liking not to cause trauma... ie, don't rock the boat; don't get in people's way; don't make a nuisance of yourself, etc. But, upon looking a little closer, we find a bit of something else in there, too: True, that you would tend to have something of a quiet and reserved nature, tend to like quieter & personal pastimes, like to keep people from looking too deeply into your private worlds. But you also have quite a vocal set of opinions, which I'm sure your closest friends and family members easily be able to admit. Issues of principle are to you Big Deals, and it's very difficult for you to just let things go without having an opinion on them, when it comes to what's "Right" and what's "Wrong." Never mind the fact that there can be as many Rights and Wrongs as there are people to believe them: to you, it's very nearly an absolute! And you don't mind telling people about it, if you feel they may not quite understand it as clearly as you do! Where am I seeing this? Well, in a few places, but the strongest location in your hand is in your 7's. Take a look at the way you've got such a critically strong upper right hand corner which is so sharp... pointed. If you were to drop that on the ground, it would surely stick! Added to that, the upper left corner of the 7, the way it's got its heavy down turn there... what we call the stroke of "exporting the principles", and we've got here someone who really likes to call the shots in terms of what she sees as Right and Wrong. This must cause you a bit of an internal struggle, too, when you have both the Good Little Girl aspect which tries so hard to get along with people and not rock the boat, and yet, the Exporting of Principles strokes here which practically demand to be heard out! You end up having to balance your own peace with the peace around you with others, then. And that can cause you to resort to sneaky behind-the-scenes manipulation, too. Hmm. Arguing is something you don't set out to do, but certainly don't mind standing up for, either. If pressed into a situation of challenge, you can let quite a bit of stuff go by until you arrive at that threshold beyond which you will simply tolerate no more, at which time you can get fire in your eyes and put things right into their place! Whoa! Don't mess with [HerName] when she gets mad! Ever consider debate as a profession? Maybe politics is the place for you! But as I said, this is not your 'normal' mode... you don't just go around blowing off at people, or putting them in their place. They have to 'deserve it' first! That other Good Little Girl in there wouldn't tolerate your always getting into little tiffs. Good Girls don't fight all the time. ;-) Let's look at something else here... what kind of a neighbor / employee would you make: You would, in terms of work (which I'd guess that right now you're not doing... but which you could) you'd be quite a good employee: You like to take responsibility to take things beyond basics: You don't at all mind going above and beyond the call of duty. Doing a job well is something which you'd attach to your own self esteem, so it's something which you regard as important to do in order to be able to go in each day with your head held high. (And, speaking of holding your head high... astrologically, are you a Leo? Looks to me that you might be a Leo sun, with perhaps Pisces moon. Do you have any idea about that?) Anyway... work isn't something which comes hard for you; you like to organize things and LOVE to talk (once you're comfortable with the people around you) so a job like being a receptionist or a community activist... something where you need to interact with large numbers of people... would be something which you could likely do well. Neighborliness would go something along the same lines: As long as you were feeling a positive role model and exemplary neighbor within your unity, your floor, your group, then you can be quite a cooperative one. But if you perceive that people don't understand / appreciate you, then you probably have no problem doing a little of that circuitous re-weaving of the social fabric, shall we say... quietly stirring up some trouble but not so that any of it could be pointed back to you! About that comfort level with people: Upon first meeting, you might seem to other people to be a bit shy. You tend to prefer to hang back, and make your mind up about people and situations on your own. And you do tend often not to trust strangers. Did you have a bad experience somewhere along the way which shut down some of your spontaneity there? Because you have a stroke in your 2's and your Y's which suggests that you prefer to keep people at bay, giving them the responsibility FIRST of proving themselves, rather than having faith in them by default until proven otherwise. This is definitely a more cautious social stance than many people your age. (And probably means that you are less socially oriented / party-going than most people your age.) If you do find yourself in such company, then you'll just basically open up the satellite dish and take it all in for a while, and make up your mind before you let your 'real' self out. Interestingly enough, though, you do tend to be fairly generous with your time, resources, sharing, etc.... You like to be with your close friends, and though you are quite a private person with needs of holding back from too much personal interaction, when you do get together with your chums, you are quite a talker, as I said above. You probably like to tease, too, and can sometimes be called for getting a bit carried away with it... People may also have said about you in that department that you can "dish it out, but can't always take it" because you can be almost hyper- sensitive about things some time... (like, in relationship, for instance, always feeling a gnawing need to be reassured that you're okay... that the relationship is working.) But you can be quite a nurturing friend, too. Lots of people probably use you as their sounding board. As you decide to do so, and can trust that it's a good time to move, then you'll likely have quite a possibility in terms of lots of people who look up to you for that nurturing supportive role as a friend. Well... there you go, [HerName]. There's the brief view of you, as seen here from the vantage of your handwriting ... Got a little more carried away than I normally would, but hey... there's quite a bit in there! What does it sound to you like? Sound anything like the [HerName] YOU know? Hope this is useful for you in terms of your Informative Speech. Yes, indeedy... Handwriting Analysis is something which, once you understand, can continue to bring you interesting and exciting information all your life. Myself, I've been doing this since I was very young: 7 years old. I'll have to put up my story sometime on the HWA-at-HWAORG web as to how that all came to be. But HWA can be quite a bit of information every time you see it... When I go out for dinner, I LOVE to get the check, because I like to see if I can guess what the waitperson's hand would look like, or (more difficult these days with computers all over, but still ample opportunity!) or whenever I meet someone, I ALWAYS look at their HW to tell me more. It's quite useful. Thanks again for contributing your sample. And we'd appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to let us know how you feel about this reading. We've provided a web-based form for doing so at: http://WWW.HWA.ORG/Rating.shtml which it would be wonderful if you could fill out; if you're particularly pressed for time and would prefer to merely respond to this email, feel free, too, to do that. We do appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much for your interest in our work, our research, and our helping others to learn more about Handwriting Analysis on the Web. - - This sample interpreted by: Jerral Sapienza JerralS-at-HWA.ORG - - Please reference Sample No: 97101401 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Handwriting Analysis on the Web * WWW.HWA.ORG/ * HWA-at-HWA.ORG Mailing Address: Post Office Box 380 * Eugene, OR 97440-0380 Learn, Grow, Share Your Stuff * It's all out there in your Hand! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
