Question

I write in all capital letters with the first letter of each word a slightly larger capital than the rest of the word. What does that mean about my personality?

Community Answer

You're bold and know what you want to do. Dilly-Dallies annoy you immensely and you prefer to be outgoing instead of shy and timid.

Question

Does your signature say anything about your behavior?

Community Answer

Signatures can provide information about certain personality traits that the signer may have. An illegible signature can be a sign that the writer is reserved and private. A legible signature indicates that they are more self-assured and content with themselves.A quickly scrawled signature may also mean that the signer is impatient and appreciates efficiency. A careful signature can show that the signer is precise and independent.

My handwriting keeps changing. When I finish school, will it have settled into one style/technique?

Probably, but if it doesn't, that's fine too! You can make it more consistent by practicing your writing regularly.

Question

What does it mean if I don't dot my lowercase "I" and don't loop my lowercase "L"?

Booksntea

Community Answer

Not dotting the lowercase “I” shows forgetfulness. Not looping your lowercase “L” shows that you are a very private person.

Question

What does a slant in handwriting mean?

Community Answer

If there is none, then you are logical, if it slants to the right, you are open to new experiences, and if it slants to the left, then you tend to keep to yourself.

My handwriting is sloppy. What does that mean?

Sloppy handwriting can be a sign of laziness or a learning disability. In a signature, however, it shows intelligence and a quick mind.

Question

What if the writing changes depending on what letter follows, or the letter before it?

Booksntea

Community Answer

This is normal, and you have to look less at the strokes connecting the letters and more at the letters themselves.

Question

I'm a student, how can I make a project doing this?

Community Answer

You could do an experiment. Choose a couple of people you don't really know that well, and make them give you a handwriting sample of like a short story or something. Then you can write down your predictions of what that person is like. After you do that you can get to know them and decide if your conclusions were correct.

Question

What does it mean if a signature is very different from the rest of a letter?

Community Answer

A signature depicts a person as they want to be seen to the world. It really has nothing else to do with the letter preceding it.

Question

What type of person am I if I change my handwriting's pressure depending on mood, and I write my letters with a left and right slight arbitrarily?

Heavy pressure means that you stressed or mad about something; light means you are anxious or worried. You have different feelings when you slant.

Question

What does it mean if my handwriting is inconsistent?

Community Answer

It means that it changes multiple times in one/more settings. For example, if you're writing an essay and one paragraph is neat and then, the other is cursive, and one is in print.

Question

Will I be able to tell if someone has vision impairment by their handwriting?

Community Answer

Not exactly. Remember, this is not black and white science. However, if their handwriting seems much messier than usual, and is tilted, they may have a vision impairment. If they do not write on the lines they are supposed to, then that could be another sign.
