Ok, so last weekend we were at an art's fair in town and there was a person there doing handwriting analysis. I asked them about it figuring it was a scam. She said if my handwriting did not paint an accurate picture of my personality, It was free, otherwise $10.00. She then said my friends would judge. I had 4 friends so I figured sure.

All she had me do was sign my name on a big piece of paper. I thought she would have me write a paragraph or something.

SO, I ended up paying her the $10.00. Not only because my friends said she was right, but because I thought she was right.

It's VERY interesting to me. I want to learn more about it. With it she knew I was divorced, but in a unique relationship (I'm living with my ex-wife). She knew I was OCD, she knew I was optimistic, she knew I looked at the bright side of things. she knew I was type A, she knew I was from a smaller family. she knew my parents were still married, she knew my parents were both alive. WOW WOW WOW.

Has anyone else had it done?

There are two very good books you might enjoy:

1) Michelle Dresbold:

This site and her book are fascinating.

2) Andrea McNichol

I have both books and used them over the years to help detect forgeries which I had at work commonly. (Prescription forgeries)

Both use new attitudes about psychology, energy as it translates into actions from the brain into the hand and arm.
Gone are the old days of handwriting analysis!

Can't say what type you had, but if you are interested, I guarantee you will love both of these books!

My husband says I now have the handwriting of a serial killer since MS. I used to have a nice flow with beautiful penmanship, but now its all shakey and scribbly and quick.

Im glad you got yours analyzed.

As long as you don't have "manic D's" or the "Felon's Claw" or "balloon upper loops" you should be okay.

Modern handwriting takes into account today for illness. PD also shows up in handwriting.

HI Earl: Yes, my dear, handwriting is a form of self expression and also reveals the health condition of the writer. I'm working on a presentation entitled "Health and Handwriting - The Mind Body Connection". I also have done a correlation study of the MMPI and handwriting which can tell people what kind of crazy they are. Best Wishes.

I've never heard of these! I'm going to start looking at handwriting more closely now!


I remember thinking mine looks like my Grandmother's handwriting used to look. It looked like her hands were shaking as she wrote.

Phew! I don't have any of those. I am so glad to know that based on my handwriting, I am not a serial killer or anything like that.

It's pretty interesting stuff. Years ago one of my co-workers was taking a class in handwriting analysis. She would analyze our handwriting and tell us little things, more personality traits than anything.

Earl, that's pretty amazing she was able to see all of that in your handwriting.

I took a handwriting analysis course once...and dropped it.

I kept asking the instructor, "Who says that means that? Why does this mean what you say?"

I had the same problem in Algebra. My dad would get irate when he'd try to help me with algorithms. He'd explain one...I'd say, "Who said this is true?"

Can't stop being a skeptic...

I went in to half.com and ordered the first book! Sounds interesting!
Oh Geez, its starting to snow....Ugh!
