Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:49:10 -0700 (PDT) From: HW Analysts of the Web Subject: Your HW Sample #01071101 Returns RE: HW Sample sent in from: http://WWW.HWA.ORG/HWSample.shtml Referencing Sample No: 01071101 Your Contribution: $35 CK #XXXX Greetings, XXXXX Thanks for sending in your sample to us here at HWA-at-HWAORG. SOrry for the delay in getting back to you; I trust that the anticipation has duly whetted your appetite for a nice experience with the reading; let's hope that you find the information here interesting, and that it well enough lives up to your expectations. 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 quick intelligence and broad-brushed artistry present in your life. And, being a flute-maker I'm sure you've been called upon to exhibit both your keen sense of judgment and your artistic skills; and clearly they are a dual team of skillsets you carry well into your life, and much further than just in your work. You've got a very playful sense of humor (notwithstanding the possibility you have for being a little almost classist in your judgment of folks of "dim" intelligence.) You appreciate humor which relies heavily on high- minded and quick witted intelligence, and so have very little interest in the bawdry or the banal; You've no time for muck-raking and scraping the bottom of the humorist's barrel. It's "skimmed off the top, or none at all" for you, much like the old farmer's adage of cream! You asked two specific questions in your sample here, one about the nature of the slant in your hand, and the other about your doodling. First let's talk about the doodles. The one you included on the sample here is one of playful artistry bounce, not surprising for one, as I said above, of much higher-than-average intelligence and artistic creativity. Its sense of shading and depth add to its expressiveness of movement and presence, again, not unusual for the creative "always-on" type person like you. (That would be another trait I would attribute to you, not only from the doodle, but from other features of your hand as well... that of really having a great deal of difficulty in slowing that continual 'humm' in the head... you are practically ALWAYS talking to yourself, reciting lists, making social & technical commentary, and always evaluating how you and all the folks around you are doing in your race called "life!" More than once you've likely been asked "Geez, XXXX: How do you keep up with yourself!?") And secondly, let's look at that SLANT. You say that you seem to be appreciating the more relaxed and slightly back-handed version of the slant you're currently using. Well, it's probably because you got tired of having to keep up with your constant push, push, push! :-) Seriously: the tendency of the slant to back off a little there does indeed hint at the relaxion of your hand, and therefore your mind. Still you've got plenty of activity up there to keep your fiery little mind spinning off its continual works, but you've probably arrived at a point of life where you're finding yourself more willing to settle down to a more "realistic view of perfection" than your previous super-human hyper view. You also mentioned that you hate ball-points. Venturing a guess at that one, I'd say that it is because you've grown accustomed to the extrememly fine point pens which can help you draw more exact lines across and around the thoughts and plans of your world. You probably also have no fondness for messy desks or thawing frozen foods on the counter, or hairs in the bath! All these, after all, are traits of a super critical thinker like a Virgo (which I'd reckon figures quite prominently in your astrological chart... whether as moon or rising sign, I don't know for sure. BUt surely it's there somewhere with a vengeange!) At work, I'd imagine you tend to prefer to work more on your own, mostly not because you're any loner or anti-social, but because unless people are able to really work to the high standards you hold yourself to, then you really don't like to be around them, or have to put up with their ways. This is not to say you are not fond of people: certainly you do love to hear people's stories and you are a pretty good listener in your own right. You have even been known to be called "kind" and "sensitive" in the advice and social commentary you offer folks when you're asked. Your siblings (or peers, perhaps... because on second though, I'm not sure that you HAVE any sibs) can probably appreciate your candid reflections on just about anything they'd care to ask about, and one thing which often surprises them is that you were even aware of the smaller things in their lives. This can bring up just about as much fondness and appreciation for you as it does paranoia and concern that you're watching too closely! But as for the being there people and paying them good attention... just let's do it at lunch, or after work, when we're not on the clock engaged in something important; you like to give your all to whatever it is you're doing, whether it's enjoying a fine new wine; or teaching your nephew how to operate his remote-controlled sailboat in the lake; or re-stringing a set of pearls your grandmother gave you. You just don't like to complicate your life by being anything other than 100% present in the tasks at hand. Which, by the way, brings us to relationship. You expect 100% there, too. Certainly your partner needs to be on his toes all the time to keep up with you. I'd bet that you have never chosen to go out with anyone but those of the highest intellect available to you, and the harder he works, the better. Intelligence and the friendly bantering associated with knocking quick volleyed phrases around between a couple having a healthy invigorating debate is something which has always been a turn-on for you. It's an almost required form of foreplay, to get into some playful little word gymnastics or political evaluation or characteristic face-off of discussions, which gets your blood flowing and your mind tweaked nicely. Very likely, you both like to share that philosophy of work-hard / play-hard, and you're hoping that in the end it will pay off where you'd be able to amass large piles of baubles and trinkets and gold pieces and actually live long enough to be able to play with them all. But lately, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that you've had something of an "Aha!" come across your inner screen there which says something to the effect of "Wow... I've been working so hard all these years, and I'm not getting any younger! Maybe I had better slow down a bit and smell some of those roses I've squashed under the tires of my Mercedes all these years, and see if any of the children in my sweet visions has time to go to the park with me to play..." And so, some of the Other Aspects of life are dawning on you. About time, huh? So: What brought you to happen by this site in the first place? Do you recall? Did it have anything to do with the fact that you just decided that there might be something out there in the world somewhere with a message for you which you hadn't yet slowed down to hear? Was it any accident that you decided to send off to hear what someone else might see in your hand when you yourself knew that you were ready for making some changes on your own? Yes, XXXX: the changes you've chosen recently to make in your handwriting may well bode and beckon a new direction in life for you... that you might be deciding to take things a little easier, to realize that our Time here on Earth is relatively Short, and that as our Parents and their friends begin to release their tenuous hold on life, so, too, our own time beckons. It's a sobering thing to recognize that even though we've been such good little students on the planet here we won't be here forever... (and I have no doubt that you heard that all the way through school): you were likely a Liberal Arts / Language Arts major, or a historian or something like that, but whatever it was, certainly you were granted many strokes for being the best, the quickest, the most successful in your day, until you got to a point probably later in your college days when you took on a bit more rebellious and devil-may-care attitude which said, "Hey! I dont' have to be so careful and doting and gracious! I don't have to to play by those rules any more! I am going to now just sail off the edge of this placid lake and succeeed on my own!" And off you jumped. Never hit ground, either. You've always been well kept up on an updraft of life, wherever you've blown. It's been an interesting life, hasn't it? And so, that's probably a good place to close. That would be the candid view of you, as seen here from the vantage of your handwriting ... What does it sound to you like? Sound anything like the XXXX YOU know? Thanks again for contributing your sample.
