This is a new way to collect handwriting samples which has been great fun. Though the web side of things here has only been up a few years, we've been at this now for more than thirty years, and should be able to give you a pretty quick overview here of what's there in your handwriting. And we welcome your side of the story, too... Write back and let us know how you feel this fits you personally, or how you feel things failed to capture the true you! We definitely appreciate and want to hear YOUR side of things: When you finish looking over this reading, then please do hop back over to the web and come by and do a "How'd We Do" rating form at: http://WWW.HWA.ORG/Rating/ so that you can make your views heard & provide another side of the story. After all, you ARE the subject of this story. We'd love to hear from YOU! People often ask us what it is we look at to make the determinations we do about your hand (HW sample.) In general, the technique we use means looking at several things simultaneously to gain an overall view of the handwriting, (known in psychology as a 'gestalt view') so as to ascertain some general points which appear to show up as 'unique' in your particular hand. Having looked at thousands of samples over the years, we can usually fairly instantly identify certain traits we see which particularly stand out either as particular LIKE or particularly DIFFERENT from the masses. 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. Each formation has its own interpretative value in a hand and those which particularly stand out in your particular combination are what we use to make these specific remarks. We can't really (for an intro reading like this) go over each and every specific trait found in your handwriting in depth, but if there's something you have a question about and would like to write back and ask about it, feel free to do so. This is intended to be a general overview of traits evident in your HW. Handwriting analysis (HWA) is useful in corporate situations where people use it as a tool to help to match applicants with job positions; 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. And on the more personal level, HWA can be used quite effectively in the match-making and 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 HWA can play a part there, too, by helping people to see how the two people each might respond to different things, emphasizing compatibilities or incompatibilities and thereby giving you something more to work with for effecting a resolution. In the case of your sample, probably the first thing which stands out is how many things you have running around in your head at once. No doubt it can be interesting being Kimberly! That signature of yours, with the long extended right foot of your "m" (or would that be an "mberly"?) has a playful foundational stroke to it suggesting that you seek a balance between your always-changing, always-shifting, constant-inner-voice life and the serene state you'd like to live in, where tomorrow is dependable and predicable, and you can make sense of everything. Interesting that you work as an Administrative Assistant. Gives you the opportunity to make sense and order of someone else's life, someone else's chaos and disorder. You're probably pretty good at it, too, since you have lots of experience at being able to meticulously pick through social & emotional rubble in order to make sense of things. You are a veteran there. General disarray doesn't faze you much; you just climb on in and keep on keeping on... and for that, you're probably quite a good worker to keep around. One interesting part of your work habits is your ability to be planted right smack dab in the middle of chaos and all kinds of disorder and confusion and fires going off here and there, and you can just tune things out when you need to, and sit there seeming cool as a cucumber getting your work done just fine. (And you wish that your private life were that easy to tune out and make sense of, eh? Would make things a lot easier!) You have a tendency to do some serious personal judgment when it comes to looking at your own stuff. You are one of your harshest critics, and that's probably because you felt as you were growing up that you didn't really feel you had enough nurturing attention and you were always wondering if you were making it or not... couldn't always tell since you didn't have the reflection. And so now, consequently, you tend to carry your own internal parents around with you, judging your every move, giving you lots of criticism along the way to let you know how you're doing. You likely are one of those people who needs to have all the details about your health when you see a doctor or nurse: You don't like them just nodding at each other and humming, etc. You like to just dart right in there and say "Tell it to me straight, Doc" and you like to be up on all the most appropriate terms so you can discsuss it with them in their own detailed terms. You probably found as you were growing up that getting medical / health attention was one of those ways you could get some more adult / "professional" reflection, and so may have a tendency nowadays to be almost overly focused on health concerns when they come into your life. Would you say that this is the case? Patience in general isn't one of your strong suits. :-) You do really admire people who seem to be able to just sail along in life in the slow lane, (as long as you're not trying to drive right behind them, that is!) and you do wish that your own life were made more of some of those gentle patient moments like that. But that's just not the way it is for you now, and you just don't see a lot of point in living in some fantasy world about things, much as you might love to do so! Many people may well not know this about you, though, because you can have a public personna of being fun-loving and easy going, and able to just sail through things just fine, when really inside you can get kind of knotted up over some of these things. People in general, however, are quite a fascination for you. You probably love to be a People Watcher if you're at a mall or the beach or something. You learned long ago how to sort of fade into the background when you needed to, so you can still do that quite adeptly today, and that can really help you to learn a lot about people around you. You don't like putting too many of your cards on the table at once, and you like the diplomatic stance, whenever possible. And, though as I said, you can get kind of argumentative and judgmental with yourself and those closest to you, when you're around strangers, you can genuinely be the picture of gentility! Never would they realize the fire you could heap upon them! Inherently, you very likely have quite an appreciation for art and philosophy and what you might consider "those frilly intellectual pursuits", but, too, when you see them as "frilly" and expendable like that, then you don't likely give yourself permission very often to really sit back and think about them, participate in them, play, emote, inquire in the expansiveness of them. You usually feel you must be far more practical about things, and you see little point in squandering basic time and effort and energy chasing clouds. This must be quite a struggle within, too, since you definitely have the appreciation, and yet you also have that judgmental self-criticism which prefers to try and "talk you out of it" and bring you back to the earth! Consequently, it's hard for you to give yourself permission to share in those "good life" things; And that can complicate things when it comes to bringing people into this picture... such as when you have to think of sharing these things with others... because you don't think you have enough right now for yourself anyway, not enough time, enough money, enough pleasures, enough things. There's that constant seeking for more, more, more which can consume you even though you may not have put pieces together that regardless of how many 'things' or dollars you aquire, you may never be satisfied because they're really not what you're seeking. Have you thought about that? That it's very likely not so much to do with the things of your life today, but that it's much more likely to do with that attention back in the earlier days which you're still trying to recapture or improve on? And until you can get that parental & judgmental tone of "Now, Kim..." out of your internal dialog keeping you from acquiring that which you truly seek, then it can be kind of hard to ever get there. Along the way, you can find yourself being a bit judgmental of other people, too, a bit too willing to defend, when perhaps really all you truly wanted was NOT to be misunderstood, taken for granted, controlled. Small irritations of life can on one of those particularly internally judgmental days, send you into a bit of a defensive posturing at work, which means that even though you love to be considered that "fun loving Kim" you may also sometimes have a reputation for being someone who's not very fun to argue with because you usually tend to win! And for those times you can't win on point, then you'll be able to toss so much confusion into the air that you can win on your opponent's ability to cogently carry on, so they'll have to just capitulate and say "Oh, all right. Whatever!" as you smilingly say, "It's okay. Now where were we?" As I said up above... must be quite a challenge to be Kim, eh? You have those two strong suits in there... something of the traits of a Libra rising, who always loves to make peace between people and ideas and things, and yet has to totally dig into all the details of things and pick it apart along the way... all in the name of UNDERSTANDING! So, then, there's the brief view of you, as seen here from the vantage of your handwriting ... What does it sound to you like? Sound anything like the Kim YOU know? You're quite a complicated example of a human being, you know? Always thinking. That's for sure. Always on. A good night's sleep must be a God Send to you!!!
