Understanding the People in your Life - Finding Hidden Gold
What a field day for me! As a Handwriting Analyst this was like Christmas come early!
Forty or so women, some whom I know well, some I hardly know, and everything in between, all putting samples of their handwriting up there on the walls for me to see.
And I was not disappointed.
One person, whom I had long ago decided I had little in common with, wrote just as I had expected, in rigidly controlled writing (showing a personality that is likewise), with heavy, down-slanted t-bars - showing the propensity to take over and run everything. I am encouraged that my intuition was right and this is someone I will probably not enjoy being around.
Another, who is in a professional position, surprised me greatly, as her writing showed her to be very immature, to the point of having extremely childish writing; extremely large showing an inability to concentrate for any period of time, and a very changeable slant and wavering baseline giving indications of emotional instability. I found my self wondering how this individual had gained the qualifications necessary for her position, and even more so, how she can possibly function in the role she claims to have. This is one for further investigation, not in any way to embarrass her - just for my own interest.
Many people just appeared in writing the way they appear in person and gave me no surprises, and some of my closer friends' writing I have seen so many times before, I paid no attention to.
But the one that I found most interesting and surprising was the writing of a woman who is "all business." She is in the financial industry, and comes across businesslike to the extent of being very cold and unfriendly.
I couldn't believe it when I saw her signature at the end of writing that shows artistic creativity to an outstanding degree, plus strong intuition. Admittedly the writing was almost vertical (showing lack of emotional expression) but the gaps between letters were constant (intuition), plus imagination (upper and lower loops), along with flat topped, rounded "m" and "n" (creative thinking), heavy writing (showing depth and color appreciation) and the entire writing sample just had the artistic look that comes with unique strokes and letter combinations that are quite unlike anything she would ever have been taught.
When I found myself next to this person during the evening, I mentioned that I found her writing very interesting as it was full of artistic creative strokes, whereupon she smiled and confided in me that she has indeed taken art courses, and has a variety of artistic pursuits. I mentioned the intuition and she said that she can always tell what a person is like as soon as she meets them, and trusts this instinct.
As she spoke, she was becoming enthusiastic, and much more open than I have ever seen her. It was as though this had given her the permission she needed to drop the business image and let me see the real person inside. And the person inside is definitely someone with whom I have interest in pursuing a friendship … which is something I would never, ever have guessed from meeting her for the past year at business functions.
I have found so many uses for handwriting analysis in the years I have been doing it, and finding out about the people in my life has always been one of them, but this was a special treat - I found gold where I didn't expect to find it.
I learnt a lesson - or rather re-learnt a lesson it's all too easy to forget: that of not judging a "book by its cover." People are not always what they seem - especially in a business environment where we often play the role we consider we "should" be modeling, while deep inside beats the heart of, say, a wonderfully intuitive, creative artistic being waiting to be discovered.
