What Does Your Handwriting Say About Your Personality?

Words You Never Heard!

What does your hen scratch or penmanship say about your personality? A graphologist or handwriting analyst might say you are bungdungerous or outgoing and friendly if you write with big letters that spill outside the lines. Conversely, very small handwriting can suggest that someone is introverted. An emotional and creative person might sneak some (mal-if-u-ous) malifuous or graceful, loopy letters into their cursive. If your script has been compared to chicken-scratch, take it as a compliment. Many influential artists and thinkers throughout history were known to have borderline-illegible handwriting.

When our son’s messy handwriting was brought to his attention in third grade, he explained to the teacher that his dad was a doctor. The teacher told me she had a hard time not laughing. Cacography or messy handwriting may be a result of your brain producing thoughts faster than the hand can transcribe them.
