I write a letter to the British Institute of Graphologists to apologise for misquoting Mr. Rees in his commentary concerning Osama bin Laden.
Their gracious reply includes an analysis of my own signature, and they tell me I am wasted on this message board, and strongly recommend I change my career path to become a Rocket Scientist, or maybe a Brain Surgeon.
Personally I think this diagnosis underestimates my potential somewhat, but we do not live in a perfect world, and I will just have to live with this totally inadequate assessment of my latent talents.
It just so happens that I took a couple of pair of pants to the tailor today. This fact makes me an expert on arabic writing.
The tailor (A very gracious, and funny, fellow) wrote my ticket in arabic. The writing went from right to left, and slightly down. Looked kinda like a fish. Or maybe a rodent
I pick my pants up tomorrow.
Glad to have settled this matter.
Peace,
mangeorge
From my experience, I think certain very broad traits can be identified from graphology; traits that have a physical reason - eg. sharp, pointy writing tends to come from aggressive or intense individuals; curvy writing tends to come from more relaxed, gregarious people. Reason? Simply, it’s damned near impossible to write curvy and relaxed if you’re stressed and vice-versa. Anyhow, I place no creedence in where "t"s are crossed and the such, and I instantly throw out any sort of Freudian interpretations. And what I believe graphology can tell you is what mood a person was in when a certain thing was written. But, then again, I don’t think you need to be a trained expert to spot these things. Also, in cases of mental illness, such as schizophrenia and the such, handwritings of these patients often deviates way, way from the norm, indicating to me that there must be at least some basic information we can infer from a sample of writing.
