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 the long swooping g in your last name. Looks like you appreciate the "good life" there... you like those persian carpets and fine olive oil, eh, and can get lost in the world of food? I don't know that I mentioned anything specifically about that on the phone when we spoke, but it's in there. What I know I would have mentioned is your slow-to-warm-up way of looking at people in general... how you're cautious and non-judgmental, yet more like a satellite dish just kind of hanging out there waiting for its next signal. I don't remember what you told me about the relationship you're in right now, but what I see is that relationship in general overwhelms you quite a bit... that you have a bit of distance between yourself and what the whole picture means. (Actually I see something similar in a couple of the other guys, too... you didn't specifically mention that relationship was one of those philosophical subjects you guys were discussing, but it may as well be: it's clearly something pretty close to the surface with you all.) Principles-wise, I do recall something of what I said there, because, again, it's a pretty strong case: You have a very sharp upper right corner of your # 7, which is where we look at that sense of principles and how susceptible you might be to peer pressure / and flexibility. You have very little wiggle room there at all, in that you simply will NOT be swayed into doing / being / trying something which you don't already agree with. Your sense of principles is well intact, which helps you to be a dependable fellow in general (even though from an emotional and day-to-day mood stability standpount you're perhaps one of the more flexible / changeable of the group there.) In short: your principles don't change; moods do. I guess that's it for the moment... I'm getting distracted here by phone calls, and I THINK that's about all I have to say. If you have q's or wanted me to explain / expound upon a particular other point in your handwriting, then let me know. It was good to talk with you guys, and I hope this helps reference several of the things we talked about. There's the brief view of you, as seen here from the vantage of your handwriting ... What does it sound to you like? Sound anything like the XXX YOU know? 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: #98020202
