What does your handwriting look like?
oh my dear my handwriting is what is commonly know as a “hot mess.” But here are some pictures since you’re curious
(if you would like to see this poem in all it’s captain america trash glory you can go here)
-Ray
im curious to see what you say! sorry for the shitty scan
No worries! We’ve certainly seen harder things to analyze!
To answer the question about cursive we just have to say that graphology is adapting to the mainstream writing habits and you can apply the basic principles to any writing in any language. Super cool yeah? -Ray
Signature
What an interesting signature! Such a difference from the writing shows us two things; 1) because it’s unclear what the writers name actually is she doens’t mind that people can’t tell. She just wants people to read her words and thinks they’re more important than being prideful that you wrote it. 2) even if she doesn’t care that people may or may not k now who she is she does wish to present them with a beautiful signature. She wants them to know that she appreciates beauty and takes pride in her aesthetic.
Strong Lower Zone
The style is so artistic it’s only natural that Linda’s writing would have a strong lower zone. She cares for material things like art and beautiful scenery. I’m sure her house would be decorated quite beautifully. She truly does have an eye for these things.
Flipping Slants
Generally slants don’t flip from left-leaning to right-leaning so much. I’d expect her to be in some sort of conflict. Possibly one of identity since her PPI is so small and barred. Perhaps she wishes to be more independent but does not know how to become so. She is a flexible person however and tries not to let problems she can’t control bother her but it does and she probably dislikes that about herself.
Hi Ray! I hope this is clear enough. If it isn’t, please let me know. Thanks!
To answer your questions:
It’s great fun working with Anderson. We have very different organization styles and sometimes that’s frustrating but generally we get along. he hides papers from me sometimes I dont’ understand. -Ray
Working with Ray is like working with a bird. Easily distracted with no sense of organization. I must hide papers or they will simply disappear. They are great fun though I couldn’t imagine not being a team. -Anderson
Anderson got into graphology because he was studying forensics and it was a minor unit. He was engrossed and so decided to study further. I don’t remember starting but i do remember reading a few books and just jumping in. It’s kind of something that just grabs you.
As for books we have a reseouces page here! -Ray
Narrow Letter Spacing
The spacing between letters points to how much freedom a person allows themselves. It’s often a good indicator of how adaptable a person is. Natalie does not appear to be very adaptable. Their style shows that they would prefer to be more flexible but they just aren’t. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing since Natalie sticks to their convictions and doesn’t back down.
Unique Mix of Angles and Curves
The style of writing is interesting since they write with a curvey style but certain letters are more angular, and almost square. The g tails and fs are sometimes more angular than the rest of the writing. So natalie is quite outgoing in some aspects and more reserved in others.
hey there! I am currently doing a psychology project on graphology, and I was wondering how to test my subjects for linking personality to their handwriting! Thanks.
Hmmm I’d believe that the best way to do this would be to give a survey like they do for a job application (be sure to emphasize that no information will count against them), analyze their handwriting the best you can and compare with their survey results. Probably best to do this anonymously as well just so people don’t feel judgement of any sort.
Analyzing personality is a difficult thing and surveys are traditionally unreliable. Perhaps ask your teacher or professor what they would use to study a person’s personality and work from there.
-Anderson
In your last answer you mentioned being able to tell MBTIs by handwriting. Any chance you could go more in depth on that? Also, i'm so envious that you saw WTNV. How was it?
first, NIGHT VALE WAS AMAZING I’M STILL CRYING ABOUT HOW GREAT IT WAS.
Second, I’m going to be honest MBTI from handwriting isn’t exactly my forte. Though a lot of traits can be ascribed to different types. For example if someone has tall letters and therefore a pronounced upper zone combined with a small middle zone with an average lower zone I would probably type them as an NT. Introversion/extroversion can be guessed from the size of lettes (the larger and rounder the more extroverted and feeling, the smaller and angular the more introverted and thinking.) the judging/percieving split is always the hardest to determine and if I ever do try to type you I can almost gaurentee that I’m pretty much guessing on this one. Please don’t hold it against me.
It’s much easier to do than it is to explain (even though neither of these come easy to me fun times) but I hope you get the idea at least.
-Ray
Is it possible to find out what profession is for someone by handwriting style?
Kind of. Because you can tell personality through handwriting it’s possible you could figure out what career they would be comfortable in. Actual competancy would be harder to determine. Wolfy used to enjoy trying to give people’s mbti type through their handwriting and was generally very good at it. So if you want you could send in a sample and I could try to type you and then you could research from there.
For example the person who submitted this is a very logical person who doesn’t have time for things they consider “extraneous”. They wouldn’t really enjoy customer service jobs because they are so straightforward. They would likely prefer a job that gives them freedom to work on their own without being the leader of a group. I’m not quite sure of any examples but I’m sure you could figure something out.
This writer is very friendly. They can be a bit shy but generally they are a pleasent person to be around while likely prefering to not being in the spotlight. So a TV news reporter would not be the job for them.
See how it’s easier to find things you would hate rather than things you would like? There are so many careers out there but if you know yourself you can probably narrow down your choices.
-Anderson
Hi! Are the submitions right now open? Also, does it matter if I write in another language that is not English? Thanks a lot and I love your blog :DD
Submissions are closed right now and will probably not open for a few weeks. I’m sorry about that but my life is kind of a wild ride right now.
I love it when people write in other languages! The same general ideas of graphology apply no matter what language you’re writing in and I find that when people write in the language they’re most fluent in the writing is more natural. (there’s actually a few studies that show people who speak more than one language think differently according to whichever they are using so it’s fun to take that into account when analyzing. Here’s a great freakonomics episode on foreign languages if you want to learn more).
-Ray
when will your submit reopen?
As soon as Ray can stop crying over calculus and blasting Imagine Dragons some work might actually get done.
-Anderson
what does it mean if the i's are dotted with x's? I've looked but I can't find much about that. I did read that i's dotted with circles are a sign of wanting attention, apparently.
You're correct! Many times i-dots that aren't actually dots (or dashes) indicate a need for attention or immaturity. Xs are probably indicative of the same thing but less intensly so. It still takes more strokes to make an X than a dot but less concentration than completely closed circles (curved but not circular i-dots mean something else. generally to do with positivity depending on the curce) so such a writer would be immature but not necessarily young.
-Anderson
Okay, finally taking the opportunity to submit one of these! Hope this is okay, it was part of an assignment for my fiction writing class.
Slight variation in slants
Indicative of a writer struggling with a decision this person is probably currently trying to decide something. They are also unwilling to talk to anyone about it yet. They likely will in the future but for now this issue isn’t something to be shared. Because the As and Os are occasionally left open they probably aren’t generally secretive but right now they just don’t feel that they need input from others. Perhaps they will tell them when it’s all over. Perhaps they’re waiting for the details to be ironed out.
Even Zones
Even zones and even spacing show a writer who is balanced and collected. They are approachable but not necessarily talkative and probably rather introverted. They likely listen more than they speak and others see them as a good friend who gives solid advice. Pragmatic and practical they tell you what you need to hear as well as some things you don’t want to hear. They truly care about their friends and wouldn’t want them going down a path that doesn’t benefit them.
Narrow line Spacing
The narrow spacing between each line shows a person who needs their space. They are good company but introverted. Occasionally the long G-tails cross the line below which corresponds with the above interpretation of a person struggling with a decision. Their lines are getting tangled as well as their thoughts. Narrow spacing is sometimes linked to a person who has low patience. This probably isn’t true with this writer since their slant varies from stright to left-leaning showing a person who is hesitant and objective.Instead of being impulsive they are simply self-controlled.
Hi there I can only use mobile and I'm having trouble submitting, if I posted a picture of my handwriting and tagged the blog would you still be willing to analyze it?
On the tumblr mobile app as far as I can tell (since I'm still operating on ios6) there isn't a way to submit anything. You have to open the browser and go to aguidetographology.tumblr.com/submit to submit anything.
I don't take submissions that way becasue then everyone would be tagging agtg in their handwriting and it's not fair when I can't even stay on top of the samples submitted.
-Ray
After how much time must we start to be concerned that our submission didnt get to you?
If you are not sherlockianmystery or amasterassassin then you should try again because those are the only submissions I have in the inbox.
-Anderson
What does it say about someone if their handwriting is changes with every word? (I do that, it's so weird to look at)
Well that is odd. My best guess is immaturity and not sure of where you’re going in life. I don’t want to say unstable as much as being very unsure of where you stand on pretty much everything. If you are young this isn’t much of an issue, very few people
However, if you start to notice strokes that consistantly cover words, and severe changes in slants even between letters within one word, an obvious falling baseline and especially a crossed out signature, it may be a sign of a more pressing mental concern.
-Anderson
I’m so glad you guys are taking submissions again; I’ve been waiting for so long! I love your blog so much ohmygosh, and thank you!! :D
My day was nice! I don’t have a valentine so I bought myself a peppermind mocha from starbucks with the last of their peppermint flavoring thank you god and also jesus and allah.
Anderson would make a full on post about his favorite pens (which is why I didn’t let him answer this) and also I don’t have a favorite pen. I like those uni-ball pens they’re nice. My favorite color is purple which my hair will be soon. maybe. hopefully. Anderson doesn’t approve but he’s had the same haircut since university what does he know.
Also it’s totally fine that the sample isn’t in cursive. You can apply the same principles of graphology to print or cursive. -R
generally doesn’t write in cursive, narrow line spacing, logical, analytical, precise, detail oriented, artistic,
Upright Slant
Because the slant is so stright and the letters very clear and angular it’s obvious that Tracia-Maria is logical and analytical. They are very objective with their decisions and probably give good advice that won’t be very biased. They value logic and order. They are also precise and detail oriented.
Artistic Style
Despite being such a logical individual Tracia-Maria is also creative and likes pretty things (sometimes i just get tired of the word aesthetics, sue me). Letters that don’t usually belong in the lower zone dip under the baseline so they often appreciate the finer things in life.
Narrow Spacing
Despite the above statement of Tracia-Maria appreciating the finer things in life they are also very conscious of money. They dislike using resources they don’t have and keep to a budget. They may be a bit unsure of where they are going in life with both the narrow spacing as well as the short t-bars.But you can bet that whatever they do it will be very pragmatic.
Just as a sidenote Tracia-Maria probably doesn't use cursive as their usual wrting. You can tell by how they first forgot to write in cursive when they assumed they should have, cursive letters are smaller (indicating a higher level of concentration), and how the cursive letters are a bit blockier than the printed letters.
For the record I once dyed my hair blue. It will not happen again. -A
I can't submit anything? Did you close it again? :(
Nope! everything should be up and running!
-Ray
hah, i didnt forget to put my signature this time :p
We do recommend including a signature. It's just another trait to analyze so thank you! -Anderson
artistic style and rounded letters
Luciana is an artistic and friendly individual. Their writing is overal pleasant to look at which shows an appreciation for aesthetics and the broad rounded letters show a person who enjoys being with other people. Also, the slightly emphasized middle zone along with the garland connections indicates that they balance all areas of their life but will make time for friends. Their Os are sometimes looped which really shows us that Luciana is adaptive and easily fits into whichever situation they put themselves into.
quick writing
Intelligent and quick thinking, Luciana is one of those people who needs to get all of their ideas onto paper as quickly as they pop into their head. They might be a bit forgetfull (hence the mal formed Rs and Ys) and make sure they write things down so they will not forget to do them.
rising signature
The signature rises but the writing does not which tells us that Luciana wishes to be seen as more optimistic and upbeat than they actually are. Not that they aren't generally a happy person, which they are, they just wish to be seen as more friendly and chipper than most people.
Can i submit a handwriting thing for analysis?
Yes, in fact please do!
