Just For Fun!
No one in the world has ever written just like you!
People have known for hundreds of years that the way you write can show what sort of person you are. Experts have written books on the subject. These experts are called graphologists. They study the size and slant of the letters. They also look to see if the style is simple or complicated.
You have your own special way of writing. No one in the world has ever written just like you. It is impossible to imitate exactly the way someone else writes. Handwriting experts often help the police to detect forgeries.
Is your writing big?
You want everybody to notice you. You always like to be in the centre of things and organise other people. You make big plans for your career.
Is your writing small?
You do not want people to notice you. You are reserved and keep your feelings to yourself. You are a very sensitive person.
Is your writing broad?
You always say what you think and you are not worried if other people do not like what you say. You are sure of yourself.
Is your writing narrow?
You like to have people and things around you that you know well. You like to do things that you know are safe. You do not like life to be very exciting.
