Remember last week when we talked about handwriting analysis that might reveal little secrets about your personality? We’re back for round two! This time, we’re taking a closer look into what your writing supposedly says about you. Think of it like this: your handwriting is like a little window into your inner self. We’re going to look at things you probably don’t even think about, like how hard you write the letters “m” and “n” or how your writing flows across the page. Get ready to be surprised – you might learn some pretty cool stuff about yourself! (Or at least have some fun thinking about it!)

Handwriting Analysis (1-7)

Loops and Curves

(Creativity or Practicality?)

The shapes of the letters in your handwriting, whether they’re rounded or angular, can provide insights into your creative or practical nature. Loopy handwriting, especially with large, round letters, points to a creative, artistic, and emotionally expressive personality. These individuals are often imaginative, open-minded, and sensitive to beauty and emotions.

Angular, sharp handwriting (with fewer loops) suggests a more practical, logical, and analytical mindset. These individuals are often clear thinkers, detail-oriented, and may approach problems from a systematic or structured point of view.

The “M” and “N”

(Your Inner Strength and Willpower)

The way you form the letters “m” and “n” can indicate your approach to challenges and how you handle them. If these letters have sharp, pointed peaks, it’s a sign of mental strength, decisiveness, and high energy. People who write their “m” and “n” this way tend to face problems head-on and are determined to overcome obstacles.

Flat-topped “m”s and “n”s may suggest a more practical, cautious approach. These individuals tend to take their time making decisions and prefer to think things through rather than rush into action.

The “E” Curve

(Flexibility vs. Stubbornness)

The way you curve the letter “e” can reveal how flexible or set in your ways you are. A rounded “e” indicates flexibility and adaptability. These individuals tend to be open to new experiences, willing to go with the flow, and easily adapt to changing circumstances.

Sharp, angular “e”s, however, may indicate a more rigid, determined personality. People who write “e” this way may be more resistant to change and prefer things to stay predictable and organized.

The “O” Loop

(Open vs. Closed Personality)

The way you form the letter “o” can give clues about your openness and communication style. A large, open loop in your “o” suggests that you’re a person who is open, trusting, and emotionally accessible. You’re likely the type to share your thoughts and feelings openly, making it easier for others to connect with you.

A smaller, more closed “o” could indicate someone more reserved or guarded. These individuals may take their time opening up to others and might be more private or introspective. This trait often reflects a person who prefers to keep certain aspects of their life to themselves.

The “X” in Your Writing

(How You Handle Conflict)

The way you write the letter “x” could reveal how you approach conflict and confrontation. If you tend to make sharp, straight lines when forming your “x,” this could indicate that you’re a direct and decisive person, especially when it comes to resolving issues. You likely confront problems head-on and don’t shy away from difficult conversations.

On the other hand, a soft, rounded “x” might indicate a more passive, conflict-averse personality. You may prefer to avoid confrontation and look for peaceful, harmonious solutions. Your “x” might show that you choose to maintain balance and avoid arguments when possible.

The “S” Shape

(Sensitivity and Emotional Intensity)

The way you write the letter “s” can give insight into your emotional depth and sensitivity. A smooth, rounded “s” suggests someone who is nurturing, and intuitive. People with this type of “s” often have a strong connection to their feelings and with the emotions of those around them. They are often empathetic and compassionate, making them great listeners and supportive friends.

In contrast, a sharp, angular “s” might indicate a more controlled, logical approach to emotions. These individuals tend to keep their feelings in check and might prefer rationality over emotional expression. They may not openly express their inner world, instead choosing to process emotions internally.

Consistency vs. Variability

(Predictability vs. Creativity)

The consistency in your handwriting—from the shape of your letters to their size and spacing—can tell a lot about your need for order versus spontaneity. People with highly consistent handwriting are often seen as methodical, disciplined, and reliable. They value structure and are dependable in both their work and personal lives. They tend to be people who plan and stick to their routines.

On the other hand, variability in handwriting (such as fluctuating letter sizes, irregular spacing, or erratic slants) often points to creativity and adaptability. These individuals are more likely to embrace change, explore new ideas, and let their creativity flow freely. They might be more comfortable with uncertainty and tend to think outside the box.

Handwriting Analysis (8-13)

The “G”

(Your Approach to Intellect)

The way you form the letter “g” can reflect how you approach intellectual matters. A well-formed “g” with a distinct loop suggests someone who values intelligence and thoughtfulness. These individuals may be naturally analytical, with a preference for intellectual pursuits. They might have a sharp mind and enjoy diving deep into complex subjects.

A poorly formed “g,” or one that lacks a clear loop, might suggest someone who is more intuitive or prefers practical, hands-on learning over abstract theory. People with this writing style might value experience over analysis and tend to think in more practical terms.

Overwriting vs. Underwriting

(Your Energy Levels)

How you write—whether you tend to write heavily or lightly—can reveal a lot about your energy and enthusiasm. Heavy handwriting, where the ink is pressed deeply into the paper, suggests someone with high energy, intensity, and passion. You might be driven, enthusiastic, and determined, with a personality that demands attention.

Light handwriting, on the other hand, can indicate a more reserved, gentle personality. These individuals might have a calmer, quieter presence and might not always be the first to speak up, but they are sensitive and thoughtful. They often have a laid-back energy and avoid drawing too much attention to themselves.

The “L” Shape

(Leadership vs. Submissiveness)

The way you write the letter “l” can provide clues about your leadership style. A tall, straight “l” often signals confidence and assertiveness. These individuals are natural leaders, with a strong sense of self and a desire to guide others. They tend to stand tall both literally and figuratively, showing a commanding presence.

A shorter, more sloped “l” might suggest a more passive or submissive personality. People with this type of “l” tend to be more agreeable, preferring to follow rather than lead. They are more likely to go along with the flow rather than take charge of a situation.

The “P” and “B” Loops

(Openness to Relationships)

The size and shape of the loops in letters like “p” and “b” can reveal your openness to relationships and emotional connections. Large, full loops suggest a person who is open, affectionate, and eager to form deep, meaningful relationships. They are likely warm and approachable, valuing emotional bonds with others.

Tighter, more restrained loops in these letters may indicate someone who is more cautious or reserved when it comes to forming relationships. They might take time to trust others and prefer to keep a certain emotional distance until they feel comfortable.

The “C” Curve

(Flexibility vs. Rigidity in Thought)

The curve of the letter “c” can shed light on how flexible or rigid you are in your thinking. A large, open “c” suggests that you are open-minded, adaptable, and comfortable with change. These individuals are generally receptive to new ideas, willing to try different approaches, and embrace life’s unpredictability.

A narrow, closed “c” suggests a more rigid, fixed way of thinking. These individuals tend to have strong opinions and might resist change or anything that challenges their worldview. They may prefer familiar, established routines and ideas over anything new or untested.

How You End Sentences

(Resolution vs. Ambivalence)

The way you end your sentences can provide insight into how you resolve issues in life. If your writing ends with a firm, decisive stroke (whether a hard period or a clear, sharp final letter), this can indicate someone who is resolute, decisive, and confident in their actions. These individuals like closure and resolution, and they approach challenges with a sense of finality.

If your handwriting tends to trail off with no clear ending (like an open, unfinished stroke or an incomplete letter), it may suggest someone who struggles with decision-making, tends to leave things unresolved, or has a tendency to feel uncertain. These individuals might find it difficult to commit to final choices or may have an ambivalent approach to life’s challenges.

So, there you have it! We’ve journeyed through the fun world of handwriting analysis, exploring all sorts of supposed secrets hidden in our loops and slants. Whether you think your “t” cross shows you’re super ambitious or you think otherwise, we hope you had a good time.

Remember, handwriting analysis (graphology) is more like an interesting parlor game than actual science. There’s no real scientific evidence that your handwriting reflects your personality in any meaningful way. Psychologists generally consider it a pseudoscience.

We’re exploring it because it’s a topic that many people find fascinating, and it raises interesting questions about how we try to understand ourselves and others. It’s a chance to explore some fun ideas and think about why we’re so drawn to the idea that our handwriting holds hidden clues.

Okay, with that said… now, go write whatever you want… a poem, a novel, a grocery list –(but don’t make any big decisions based on how you dot your “i”) the possibilities are endless! Just have fun with it! Thanks for reading. Voila! Until next time!
