I welcome you, if you are new here. Thanks for coming. Now, just a little review.
I wanted to introduce this subject through this blog because, in my experience, many people have thought the whole idea that handwriting tells anything about personality is a joke. Considering the exposure most have had to the topic I fully understand that. My idea here is to present some of the whys and how-tos of studying personality by this method. I believe the advantage is that the subject of the analysis has no influence on the result aside from providing a sample of writing. No questions, no self-assessment, and no personal opinions are part of it. The analyst measures hundreds of factors when doing an in-depth analysis. (I could do my own handwriting in the same way and get an accurate result.)
Just telling you "this means this" without explaining the reason 'why' won't help you. Just way too many books do that. I will add here that not all books or available information is accurate. Some of it is downright sensational and show-bizzy. Anybody who promises, 'You too can analyze handwriting by noon tomorrow...' Well, I will leave it to you to determine if that is reasonable. My approach is much more conservative and careful. When I do an analysis I always remember I am analyzing a person with feelings so while I am honest I also want to be kind.
While most blog posts are not arranged as sequential additions of information on one topic this blog may fit that description. Handwriting analysis learning is based on understanding basic principles and building on them. So, if you are new here I would like to suggest that you first read the posts in the following categories in the order listed. It will give you a head start in understanding what is already here and what will come.
The Value of Handwriting Analysis
The Holistic Overview
Copybook
The Global Indicators
The Trait Indicators
As for the future: stay tuned for the "t party" I promised you as well as information coming soon on "Imagination"— a global indicator. Very important.
And another subject, which I think is worth the price of admission: how to recognize writers' thinking mode. Not specifically what they think about (we get hints but we can't read minds) but how open they are to learning (and training for all you business owners—so you don't waste your money) how they apprehend info (how much they seek to know) how quick they catch on (may or may not be an advantage, depending) also how well they analyze what they learn. And, all important, are there any traits that will skew their seeing things realistically? (Clues: egotism, self-deception, secrecy, exaggeration, narrow-mindedness and many more 'possibles'.)
Let me know if you are learning anything new about yourself. I sure have! I welcome your comments.

P.S. I got an error message when I tried to rearrange my categories here so Typepad will see if they can correct the glitch and then I will give it another go. That will make it easier to find things.
