Greetings, [HerName]:

Thanks for sending in your sample to us here at HWA-at-HWAORG.   Though the 
site here has been analyzing handwriting samples only since about 1994, 
this is something I personally have been interested in for more than 
thirty years, so I'm always happy to see another sample from out there
in NetLand like this.  I appreciate your adding to our collection here.

After you read over the write-up and interpretation  here, I welcome you to
pop by the site again and let us (and the world) know what you thought of
the interpretation, and its relevance to how you see yourself.  Certainly
you are most apt to have a better understanding of your personal traits than
someone hundreds of miles away behind a computer screen here, and it's
always interesting to have a report back as to how we see you and how you
see yourself.  Please do come over to 

			http://WWW.HWA.ORG/Rating/

and let us know how you think we're doing, based on this reading of yours.

First, for some backgrounders:  People often ask us what it is we look at
to make the determinations we do about your hand ("hand" in this case
refers to your handwriting sample, or abbreviated sometimes as just "HW".) 
In general, the technique we use means glancing over the HW sample first to
gain an overall view of the handwriting, (known in psychology as a 'gestalt
view') ascertaining some of the general personality traits which appear to
show up as 'unique' in your particular hand.  

Having looked at thousands of samples over the years, I can usually fairly
instantly identify certain traits I see which particularly stand out either
as particular LIKE or particularly DIFFERENT from the masses at large.  In
general, things we're looking at include slope, slant, spacing, margins,
white space on the page, general form, loopies & hooks, sharpness, and
height of the letters within their zones (upper strokes, middle zone, lower
zone strokes) and distance between characters, words, lines. 

The relationship of each formation has its own interpretative value in a
hand.  Those which particularly stand out in your particular combination
are what we use to make these specific remarks.  It would be possible to go
on for quite literally pages and pages on some people's hand, but some of
the more technical aspects aren't particularly interesting to most people,
so we tend instead to just concentrate here on some of the interpretive
messages the technical aspects of the hand represent.  If I touch on
something here which you'd like to know more about, then feel free to write
back and ask about it.  This is, in general, intended to be more of an
overview of certain traits evident in your HW.

To tell you something of the usefulness of these things and how they're put
to use out in the "real world":  Handwriting analysis (HWA) is often used
in corporate situations to help hiring managers match applicants with job
assignments;  when used by a skilled analyst, then it can save an enormous
amount of time and effort by providing an interim form of 'interviewing'
which is far less time-intensive than actual face-to-face interviews, while
still able to be quite specific as to particular personality traits
involved.  If you have found yourself either hired almost instantly from a
written application, or repeatedly turned down after only submitting a
handwritten application, then it's quite possible that HWA has been
involved in the job pre-screening process. 

Many people write and say "What career is best for me?" but that's not
really the primary thing we'd see, easily discernible from your HW. Instead,
if you're considering a particular career or job, then letting us know of
the job description, we'll be able to give you some feedback as to how well
you'd be apt to do in such a profession.  That's how HWA is most often used
in hiring:  as a subjective predictor of success between HW style and
particular traits associated with a specific Job Description.

On the more personal level, HWA can be used quite effectively in both the
match-making and relationship counseling fields, where people ask us to
help to evaluate a match between a couple potential partners (either
business partners, or dating / life-partners as well.)  And when conflicts
and or troubles arise in a personal relationship, then review of the HW of
the partners can point out some of the potential difficulties between the
style of the partners, and might shed some light on how to resolve things.
   I have often around Valentine's Day each year done little presentations
called "Is your Partner Write For You?" in which we take samples of two
partners and outline in a personal session how they're compatible and how
some of the difficulties of the partnership may show themselves, and how we
might choose to work through some of those potential difficulties.
Sometimes an astrolger works with me on this, and we do our Dog & Pony show
with HWA and Astrology together!  

Enough on the basics of Handwriting, though... Let's get on to taking more
of a detailed look at yours:  Based on the sample you've submitted here, in
the case of your handwriting, probably the first thing which stands out
about it is the wide strokes with which you paint your world. 

Very likely, you are a deeply idealistic person, can tend to be rather
quiet and bookish in your private style, and yet have the ability to make
a splash with great flair out in public when you choose to do it that way. 

You didn't specify any paticular occupation in the sample as was asked 
of you for the standard format.   But then, in your case, I can see why;
not that you were particularly trying to be obstinate, but that you really
just don't know how best at any particular moment to "classify yourself."
 
Not one to work as "a cog in the machine," you've always prided yourself
on your ability to work on your own in whatever particular thing suited
your interests at the time, from writing, to art, to professional design
to general social interests... but certainly you'd have difficulty putting
yourself in a cubicle at a Fortune 500 company of the world, since you
much prefer to be a "renaissance person" with a thousand million
interests, yet no particular calling to specialize in any of them,
especially if it were to mean the exclusion of others yet to be sampled! 

Unconventional in work habits, unconventional in tastes and humor, too,
though you'd likely prefer to call it "eccentric" and embrace the creative
essence of it all.  Your friends probably call your sense of humor "dry"
and "witty" since you've got such a strong and quick command of language.

If I were to guess your primary astrological influences, I'd say Leo sun
Aquarius rising, with perhaps a Cancer or Virgo moon.  Do you know
anything about what your astrology chart says?  Way out on a limb there
since there are twelve of each of these, but for sure, you've got a
healthy heap of fire and air in there, which explains the quick mind,
fleeting sense of commitment / responsibility  / getting tied down.

Now, regarding the commitment / responsibility concept, let me clarify: 
I'm talking about your job / work stuff there...  but not that you can't
commit, just that you'd prefer to commit to shorter stints, like contract
jobbing, or art commissions, or writing articles on the fly rather than
having to be an indentured servant working in some tiny little dedicated
cubicle called "your space" of a corporation.  It's just your style to see
it that way.   You need far more breathing room for your big ideas and
your overreaching sense of what all you're capable of contributing.

Interestingly enough, however, in relationship you can find yourself qutie
a different sort.  Yes, of course, you can certainly exhibit that aloof
flair of liking to be "above it all" and not having to get into the
groveling for someone's attentions.  But still, at the same time, you do
have a deep sense of commitment when it's an intimate thing.  That is: 
you DEMAND that your partner be fully committed to you just as you are
yourself committed (but of course, you don't want to have to SAY it to get
your way; it's just that you'd prefer that someone would want nothing
else) & you have a deep need to be reassured in relationship in a quite
strikingly different way to how you feel about work. 

In the work world, you can just almost ignore folks, and you don't so much
care whether they like your work or not... you already know that you do
very good work, and you don't worry about whether people can appreciate
its breadth, depth, contribution.  But in a relationship it's a very
different story, and you do very much care whether your partner lets you
know on a regular basis and in various forms that you're special.  It's a
very important aspect of relationship for you.

(And you probably say, -- well, yes, doesn't everyone feel that way?!) 
Well, no, not everyone does;  some partners have a rather "open" or
disconnected view of things, saying they don't mind how many people you
look at as long as you go home with them.  I think that might well drive
you nuts if your partner were so dispassionate and detached.  

Anyone ever tell you you're a high-maintenence relationship?  I'd bet that
you can really read someonethe riot act if they violate some of your
rules, and as such, might even reconsider that Libra moon I said up there,
and move it forward to Scorpio?  Because you have some pretty sharp edges
about your concepts of the secret rules and the intensity with which you'd
deal with violations thereof... and the worst part is that these rules are
"private rules" and you don't even want to have to tell people what they
are, let alone when they violate them.  But pushed on the issue, you will.

You don't mind letting people know your opinions, but they have to get
your mad first... you'd prefer to stay more in your quiet aloof state
until pushed beyond the edge of your patience, and then, LOOK OUT!  You
can come out slicing and dicing with words like knives.  Not rude or
insulting, but just very incisive longtime-observed opinions which had
been sitting in there collecting and percolating, and once you get your
buttons pushed, then you can just fly on into an orderly word artillery
with exacting poignancy.  Talented, you are, at that.   And that can come
in genuinely helpful when doing something like investigative reporting,
mystery writing, novels, and the kind of thing where words are important.

And lastly, speaking of words, something which rather surprised me once I
saw your handwriting was that you chose not to write something of your
own, but rather chose to just copy something from the web site where you
found us. 

And since I can see that you don't have any shortage of your own original
thoughts and words, it was a bit of a surprise to see that you chose to
just copy the wording from the page.  Any idea why you did that?  Was it
more of a "stage fright" type freeze situation, or was it more a little of
the rebelliousness you might have been known to do here or there?  ;-) 

And so, that's probably a good place to close.  That would be the basic
view of you, as seen here from the vantage of your handwriting ...  What
does it sound to you like?  Sound anything like the [HerName] YOU know? 

        Thanks again for contributing your sample.  It's been nice to have
a glance of so free a spirit's handwriting here, [HerName].  Feel free to pop
back by the web site somewhere and give me a grade...  Let the world know
what you though of this reading.    http://WWW.HWA.ORG/Rating/
It's always appreciated.
