But so many physical things can affect our handwriting.... pain, (even migraine) injury, progressive disease (arthritis or macular degeneration for example) not to mention chemically altered states of consciousness....
it makes me wonder how much those kind of physical conditions would affect the analysis, if they were not revealed to the analyst beforehand.
We have no way of knowing, for example, what Elvis' physical condition was at the moment of writing a note to then President Nixon.
I remember trying on a couple different occasions to sign my own admission papers to a hospital.... once when I was in advanced labor. I couldn't believe how affected my own handwriting was. I wouldn't have recognized my own signature, had I not seen myself write it.
That said, I DID try the test from the site you posted. ..... gotta wait for my email results to see if my personality can be discerned.....  |
Good thoughtful post Uptown Girl.
I looked at a handwriting analysis for Casey Anthony from an expert, Michelle Dresbold, which basically said from her writing sample she was either a monk/nun or a playboy/playgirl. Either kept her sex drive in close check or let it run amok in other words.

I was wondering how they get these samples to base such-and-such a personality trait on? Do they look at nuns and see what their handwriting looks like and then go from there. Priests? Do not get me started on priests. Playboys? How do you know which is the driving force in a playboy's personality. Id, superego, ego?? Just using Freud as a starting point with his id, superego, and ego. For instance, the
Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner certainly looks like a playboy but he is so much more than that.
