Here is your challenge: What can you tell me about this person?
That's where I left you when I posted this sample.
Could you identify her from the picture? Maybe so.
If this looks to you like the writing of an immature young person you are correct. Notice that the writing is predominantly in the mundane area, which concerns the world of NOW. That is the focus and concern of her life. Look closely to see an irregular spacing pattern in this writing. Monitor the space between her letters and her words. Some letters are touching each other; others are spread out. Some words are close to the next; others show big spaces between. She hasn't made peace with the latitude she gives herself and she doesn't know if she wants to be close to people or pull away from them. It varies according to how she feels. That is confirmed in the erratic change in size of her middle-zone letters. Lots of variation. She doesn't understand herself but she can take direction.
As for her motivation forces: As you see, her aspiration level is low (shown by the height of her t bars.) Long-range planning is not strong. In fact, she underestimated herself greatly at the time of this writing. (Notice that many bars dip well into the middle zone.) I would be curious to know when she wrote this, and if it was long ago, I wonder if her handwriting has changed as she has become more successful in her career.
She shows little will power here (weak horizontal bars as they cross her t stems) so she is directed by outside forces, which she needs so let's hope she is not too trusting or naive. Without strong self-direction one may cave in to temptation and give in to weaknesses. Her handwriting suggests that propensity.
At this point she had not yet developed a philosophy of living (no abstract thinking, which would be found in upward extenders) so she relies on what is going on in the here and now and goes with the flow. She tries to have an independent mind but she needs to develop a stronger resolve so as to direct her thoughts and actions in purposeful pursuits. Then she needs to put forth more effort to finish strong. (Her lower extenders are short although they are not weak for as long as they go downward.)
There is potential for personal growth.
