Problem Signs in Cursive Handwriting
Handwriting can contain signals that the writer may be experiencing a wide range of emotions ranging from tolerable to obnoxious defenses. Here are some handwriting traits to consider when relating to another person.
- Over-Dependence: Shown by highly bloated upper loops in letters, exaggerated roundedness in the writing, lower loops that pull leftward, narrow letters and cramped words, cradled or x-shaped I, downward, light pressure t-bar, concave connecting strokes that proceed directly from one letter to the next without returning to the baseline. These writers tend to need plenty of reassurance.
- Depression: Shown by handwriting that droops at line or word endings.
- Irrational Pride: Shown by tall, narrow capitals, t-stems at least two and one-half times higher than lower case letters. These writers tend to be standoffish and somewhat vane. They won't reveal what they're feeling as a way to not feel vulnerable.
- Resentment: Shown by introductory strokes that look like braces or knife blades rising from below the baseline. The strokes are always straight and rigid. This writer tends to hold tightly to the past, creating the impression that ancient misdeeds just happened.
- Miserliness: Shown by tight spacing between letters in words. A person who experiences frugality tends to end words abruptly, omitting any finishing strokes. Frugal writers tend to be self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone else's approval.
- Caution: Shown by handwriting with marks like a car skidding to avoid a collision. These writers tend to vacillate before making a decision and may be reluctant to make commitments.
- Feeling Victimized: Shown by shallow, concave t-bars and word endings that sweep to the left.
