So as I doodled my name on the margins of my notebook during a recent meeting, I decided I'd find out what my handwriting said about me. A quick search yielded this site, which gave me a pretty comprehensive analysis after I completed a block of sample text.
According to the site, here's what my handwriting had to say about me. My thoughts are in bold.
- T. has a particular shyness toward people and a fear of moving too fast in any direction. I'm an analyzer and I'm indecisive.
- T. has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people. I'm pretty cool with everyone and I like making new friends.
- Something is incomplete in T.'s life. Somewhere in her life there is some disappointment, non-fulfillment, and interruption. Hmmm - I don't know.
- T. is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner. I'm working on this though. However, I do enjoy my alone time. People can be irritating at times.
- T. is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time. Me? Sarcastic? Never. Funny, my sarcasm did begin as a defense mechanism when I was in high school.
- T. is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. T. basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence category, her self-perception is better than average. Yay for being goal-oriented and having a high self-esteem!
- In reference to T.'s mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. T. can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip. Well, I am a reporter; both skills are required. And I do synthesize well, if I do say so myself.
- T. is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past. Nigs don't need to know every detail about me. They need to get some business of their own. Shoot.
- T. is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes. T. will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls T. an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. I've been known to be "wild and wacky" to a point. I always stop short of looking ignorant. But I'm willing to cut loose.
- People that write very large tend to be very social and friendly. It seems T. has this type of writing. This indicates a need for people and a particular natural ability to socialize and be the life of the party. Now, if T. also has specific fears (like fear of criticism or fear of trust) then she will deny she is the life of the party, because fear has overcome her natural inclination to be social. People with large handwriting tend to be effective at anything that requires interaction with lots of people. she is a people person. I'm not the life of the party, but I can help foster a good party environment for others. Dang, I wonder what I'm afraid of? Maybe seeming conceited? Who knows?
- T. can be defiant. She sometimes has the attitude that if someone doesn't like it the way she is doing it, then they can just "go to hell!" This trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which she thinks are infringing upon her freedom of action. I prefer the phrase "kick rocks," but I guess it all means the same.
- T. has a desire for attention. People around T. will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character. Well, I do dance and sing in front of a crowd of hundreds for fun. And I have a job where thousands read my name on a daily basis. And I keep an online journal of my life adventures. Hm. They may just be on to something here. :-)
Dang. Pretty on point, I'd say. What do you think? Accurate or no?
