When I have problems with spelling it is usually because the spell check on my fountain pen isn't working. I think the handwriting analysis would be a fun conversation piece but I wouldn't take it too seriously. Did you think it was correct analyzing your handwriting 50% of the time,....more or less?

The positive attributes are all 110 percent correct......

My handwriting shows anyone who looks at it that I'm not very good at penmanship.

 

Yet I collect fountain pens, go figure.

 

Though really I just collect for fun and the joy I get from repairing the ones that need it.

Several of the assertions at the link indicate that the writer isn't much involved with writing with fountain pens.

All these beautiful pens and the handwriting of a 4 year old!!

Is my handwriting talking about me behind my back, again ? Time to threaten with the shredder, again !

[inkeverywhere]

I don't know if my hand writing says anything about me or not. I do however wonder if hand writing may influence others in what they think about me and how they treat me.

 

In the past three years I have had to undertake the same medical procedure twice with the same doctor and staff. Needless to say I had to fill out countless forms. The first time I completed the forms in my normal hand writing, which I'm told is very neat, the second however I completed everything in italic calligraphy.

 

I could not believe the difference in how I was treated. Every person who dealt with me was very impressed by my hand writing, some even asking if I had somehow used a computer to complete the paperwork, they were also far more attentive. The doctor himself was very matter of fact the first time, the second the spoke at length about the hand writing and was far more attentive and far more willing to explain things to me.

 

I am going to do the same next time I have to complete forms to see if this was just a fluke or perhaps there is something to my theory of being judged by hand writing.

 

Perhaps hand writing sends signals to others more than we think.

My handwriting is atrocious. If ever a shrink gets a good look at my notebooks I'm sure I'll be headed for some sort of lockup. That or the shrink will run away screaming.

What does my handwriting say about ME? Nothing good.

Me too, am not entirely sure if my handwriting says anything particular about me ( even less so when my print letters are all small and square and my cursive a bit bigger and with a lot of curvy accents) but I agree that when you use calligraphy these days people treat you differently. A few days ago, I sent a note to my daughter's elementary teacher in cursive with a stub nib, after the fact, she greets me in a rather enthusiastic way each time I pick my daughter up. Also, and this according to my daughter, she keeps the notes I sent for herself!

 

Then again, not many people under 50 in this country know how to write or even read cursive.

According to the linked chart, my handwriting says that I'm an attention-seeking, gregariously extroverted, deeply private introvert.

 

What my handwriting actually says is that I'm a natural lefty whose kindergarten teacher forced him to learn to write righty; that Palmerian script was embarrassingly and frustratingly difficult for me in elementary school; and that as an adolescent I wanted to be a comic-book artist, so I taught myself all-caps comic-style block lettering. Also, I have a thing for manual typewriters, which explains the shapes of the lower-case a, g, and t in my nigh-italic handwriting.

[Randal6393]

Quite agree, a neat italic hand will get attention over a scrawled cursive every time. Mostly because it's something very few people see these days. Of course, one had better have something to say. Or the wrong kind of attention ...

 

Used Uncial for a note to a Southern Baptist friend of mine. He raved over that one! Wonder how he would have felt if I had used Gothic?

 

Enjoy,

We must have similar handwriting styles. LOL

I do think there is some truth in your assumption, maybe I am just more attentive to others handwriting.

My handwriting tells everyone who sees it...."You should have been a DOCTOR!!!":)

My answer: "If I got to be a doctor I could afford better PENS......THEN I'D WRITE BETTER!!!";)

Truth: In grade school I could care LESS how "nicely" I wrote....Now, as an adult, I wish I'd worked harder to perfect this skill...

I'm now doing JUST that....with (nearly) daily cursive writiing practice sessions, alternating between a Lamy Studio EF and Pilot Elite E95S EF.....

Like Clint Eastwood, training with his .44 Magnum Auto-Mag ("The Gauntlet")......"It's getting there......"!!

 

Always try to get the dibs.......on fountain pens with EF nibs!

I never fully learn to write in cursive until now. YouTube and the Internet is your friend!

I think my handwriting says I want to be legible.

LOL! Yes, I am often challenged when trying to read my own handwriting .
