You are how you write

Does handwriting analysis offer accurate insights into personality? Ode went to a graphologist to find out.

Marco Visscher | November 2008 issue

While De Monchy’s analysis may not reflect how I’d like to see myself, I could have used some more Forer effect! I admit it’s a startlingly accurate portrayal of how I’ve spent the last 25 years as a freelance journalist. Racing from deadline to deadline, jumping from magazine to magazine, usually cruising along the path of least resistance. It takes a few days, but I become more and more satisfied with the analysis of my handwriting. I may not be enlightened or very special, but how bad is that? Actually, it feels like a relief to accept that I’m not someone with high ambitions. I comfort myself with the thought that when you think about it, “enviably easygoing” is quite spiritual. With such a personality, it seems I’ve pretty much found my place.

Regarding the graphology analysis, what about left handers? I write entirely different depending upon how the paper is turned due to my left-handedness. And lefties CANNOT write like righties because cursive is structured for righties - it lends itself to pulling the pen across the paper rather than pushing (which we are forced to do).I solved the problem for myself by turning the paper sideways and writing up. But - we ARE in our "right minds", we lefties!
