THE PENMANSHIP

Want to know what does your handwriting tells about you? Consider some of these factors.

SIZE

Small handwriting- research-oriented, good concentration, methodical, not always social

Large handwriting- people oriented, outgoing, outspoken, love to entertain and interlock

Right in the middle- you like to be with people, but value your own time

SPACING

Good deal of space- you need your freedom, to do things in your own time, don't like to be overwhelmed or crowed.

Very little space- it shows a tremendous about of irritability and constant pressure on yourself

HOW LETTERS ARE SHAPED

Pointed letters- shows you are more aggressive, intense, very intelligent, curious

Connected letters- you are logical, systematic, make decisions carefully

Loopy handwriting- very social individual, huge imagination, sensitive to criticism

Not loopy- more isolated, reclusive, within themselves

DOTTING YOUR I's

Right over the I- attention to detail, organization, emphatic in what you say or do
