FEATURE STORY :

Are you in Control or a Control Freak?

By D. West, Contributing Writer and Certified Handwriting Expert


Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

The irony is that most of us believe that fear protects us from harm, when the reality is that it often leads to controlling behaviors such as paranoia, narrow-mindedness and aggression.

We convince ourselves that the desire to control others is necessary to protect all, when in reality it displays a lack of faith in our own abilities to handle any situation - no matter what the outcome. The belief that fate is cruel often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as we insist on resisting, rather than surrendering to life events.

Shyness: Trait of the Week

Contributed by Guest Author and
Certified Handwriting
Analyst David Riffey, St. Petersburg, FL

Are you diplomatic, self-conscious or just shy?


While studying for Handwriting Analysis Certification, I did a written analysis for a young woman at work. After reading it she declared, “This is so me, how can you come up with all this?”

I told her that I look for handwriting traits that are known to relate to particular personality characteristics. In learning these traits it helps to understand how the mind forms them and reveals them in our writing. An easily understood trait is the height of the t-bar and it’s relation to self-esteem or self-confidence.

FEATURE STORY :

Emotional Baggage - Is your baggage too heavy to deal with?
Handwriting Clues Revealed About You.

By Bart Baggett, President of Handwriting University .com

Have you ever had anyone just walk right out of your life with no explanation at all? Perhaps they blamed your for “certain” behaviors which were simply intolerable?

It happens, and it is a very BIG CLUE from the universe that now is a time for some inner reflection. Just last weekend a friend of mine had a girlfriend of over two years slip up and emailed the “wrong” boyfriend some cute photos of herself… And, oops, revealed the fact she was dating three guys and stringing them all along!

If one is two-timing, she should double check the email address twice before she hits send.
Oooops. How did he miss those clues?

Now, this article could take approach of “How to spot a bad person, and avoid them.” Well, quite frankly my first book published over 15 years ago dealth with that angle. Today, I’d like to take a more holistic approach and suggest that when people do horrible things to you, it could be a opportunity to look within and see what you are reflecting out.

Now, there is always the odd ball person who just slips through your radar, but if there is a repeated statement that your friends or lovers say to you… listen up.

Do your friends kindly describe you as “intense” or “high maintenance?”
Are you often accused of “trying too hard?” or “making a federal case out of everything?”

Does the phrase “let it go” ring a bell?

All I am suggesting is that when life continues to throw stones your way,
you just might be suffering from a little known condition called IPD. IPD is a term I coined a few years ago doing stand-up comedy. It is different than A.D.D., IPD is … “Irritating Personality Disorder!”

Your emotional baggage is too heavy and people jumping ship because of it.

An analysis of your own handwriting might help you learn where your weaknesses are… and how to start the change process. Modern handwriting analysis can be used like a mirror to reveal to you what others already see.\

I read a great self help book that said this,”If you really want to know what your unconscious mind REALLY thinks about you, take an honest look around.. at your home, your car, your friends, your health. All those things are a direct reflection of your thoughts.”

And, handwriting is a neurological reflection of the neuro-pathways.. which are bundled repeated thoughts.

Often times, our “ugly baggage” doesn’t show up until we are emotionally involved with someone we care about…and it seems to be reevaluated when the walk out!

This hidden emotional baggage can also explain why some people choose to ignore you, not take you seriously or head for the hills at the very mention of your name. The good news is that by choosing the right self-help tools, you can train your mind to alter the subconscious drives that are the root cause of these destructive patterns.

In handwriting analysis, this practice is called Grapho-therapy — the science of changing your handwriting to change your life.

When it comes to relationships, some people treat a potential soulmate like a porter at an airport. They are always looking for someone to handle their emotional burdens for them as they journey through life. Unfortunately, no matter how big the tip (how rich, attractive or needy you are) few people you meet in life will be qualified for the job. It’s just too much work!

It has been my observation that those people who spend the effort learning to CHANGE THEMSELVES and release your emotional baggage … travel through life with a light effortlessness that seems “automatic.” The term effortless manifstation comes to mind when you handle all your emotional garbage.

People with deep rooted resentment always tend to carry grudges like Olympic torches - the flame doesn’t go out! People that press super heavy on the paper are more likely to hold grudges; but, heavy writing is not always a bad trait. Heavy writersalso tend to be better lovers and achieve more long term goals that require passion in order to see them through to completion. As you will discover in our “Advanced Handwriting Analysis Course”, psychological traits can be both positive and negative and show up in a variety of different ink strokes. But, for this article… I’ll keep it basic for those of you who are not enrolled into the Certification Level Course.

So, grab a sample of your own writing (or someone you hate… just kidding, someone you love) and follow along…

_____________

If you know someone that just emotionally holds onto things too long - they might have an excess of tenacity. This kind of tenacity is often represented in handwriting that contains t-bars that look like they have sprouted little fishing hooks at their ending point.

_____________

Is that chip on your shoulder visible to others? A good way to tell if your resentment is showing is to examine the way you make the initial strokes of your lower case letters. The strokes are straight and rigid and tend to resemble a straight metal pole leaning into the next letter. The farther down it starts on the page indicates how far in the past the root cause of this anger really is.

_____________

Are you sharing too much every time you open your mouth? Take a good look at your lower case o’s. If they are open at the top it may indicate a tendency to burden others with too much conversation about your issues. Personally, I think the trait of being talkative can be charming and pleasant - if the person has happy things to talk about. But, if you combine a talkative person with a bunch of corrupted “victim” belief systems and anger and resentment . . . I’d rather they not open their mouth.

_____________

Are you so busy convincing others that you can’t be convinced of anything yourself? Look for what we call “the Go To Hell K.” Your lower case k in a word like “monkey”.

This is indicated by a lower case k that is larger than the other letters or by an unusually large buckle or loop in the upper case of the letter.

_____________

People who carry too much emotional baggage tend to share some common personality traits: insecurity, fear, obsessiveness, possessiveness, talkativeness, inflexibility, rebelliousness, resentment, defiance, immaturity and anxiety.

In almost all cases, people with a severe case of “Irritating Personality Disorder” have major emotional scars that are unresolved. Most of these personality traits will show up in a handwriting sample. Many such traits can be changed, using the new science of Grapho-Therapy. The Adults 30 Day Workbook will assist you in changing self-esteem, fear of ridicule, sensitivity to criticism, fear of success, fear of failure, anger at the opposite sex, SARCASM, and even resentment.

If you know someone with this “Irritating Personality Disorder,” please buy them one of our home study courses so they can start to make life a little bit easier for you.

FAQ http://myhandwriting.com/FAQ=======================================

Q: I am a recovering alcoholic. People often accuse me of being in denial. Is there anything I can do to change my handwriting that might help me become more honest with myself?

A: Most people lie to themselves to avoid experiencing the emotional pain that facing up to reality might cause. (Example: kids lie to keep a parent from getting angry.) An indicator that you might be doing this is by viewing your lower case letter o. The inner loops reveal how much secrecy you are keeping from yourself or others.

If your little o’s contain two inner loops that touch - this indicates that you are lying to other people in addition to holding some self-deceit. Getting rid of the dual loops will make you brutally honest. Can you handle the truth? The truth may set you free, but it might irritate those around you. (Remember Jim Carrey in the movie Liar! Liar!? Telling the truth all the time can get you in big trouble.)

You can see images of these traits here:

Q: I have always thought I was a bit psychic. Is there anything in a person’s handwriting that might indicate special extra-sensory abilities?

A: People who are intuitive show breaks between letters in their cursive handwriting. Handwriting that is part printed, part cursive is also thought to indicate a strong sixth sense.

However, there is a fine line between “psycho” and “psychic.” Sometimes sociopaths and manipulators also display this trait.

FEATURE STORY: “Finding the Perfect Valentine using a Stroke of the Pen” by Bart Baggett

“Everyone NEEDS this knowledge. I’ll never date or hire anyone ever again without analyzing the handwriting.”

FEATURE STORY :
Finding the Perfect Valentine using a Stroke of the Pen -by Bart Baggett

Anyone can unlock the secret to finding their true love using handwriting analysis.

The stroke, slant and depth of a person’s handwriting indicates with amazing accuracy personality traits such as stubbornness, honesty, jealousy, dominance, and even violent tendencies.

It’s a great tool for weeding out losers and finding someone who is truly compatible with your personality. Handwriting is really brain-writing, projecting the unconscious personality on paper.

Considering the current divorce rate of over 50 percent, getting clues about a person’s character should be a prerequisite to any relationship.

Dating without using handwriting analysis is like playing poker with your eyes closed. You might draw a losing hand or a winning hand… but you won’t know the difference.

As Valentine’s Day approaches those looking to find the perfect mate should heed this advice. Handwriting analysis can help you instantly identify undesirable traits, like dishonesty and jealousy, and keep you from wasting time on a relationship that is doomed from the start.

It can also help you find the traits you do want in your mate, like flexibility, open-mindedness, generosity, and perhaps even a big sex drive.

The following examples are just some clues found in handwriting:

The size of the loop in the letter ‘d’ will tell you
how sensitive your mate is — a big loop means
they need more compliments.

A ‘jealousy’ loop at the beginning of a letter
indicates whether you’ll get in trouble for
‘admiring the opposite sex.’

A person whose writing slants to the right
is expressive and outgoing,
and a person who slants to the left is
emotionally withdrawn and even introverted.

The bigger the loop in the letter ‘y’,
the bigger the sex drive.

The letter ‘O’ reveals everything from
how well you keep a secret to whether
you will lie or not.

A t-bar that slants down to the right
means this person has a
need to be in control–
watch out!

Personally, I will not date a woman until I’ve seen her handwriting. I’ve wasted a lot of time and heartache on relationships that weren’t right for me until I started using this tool.

To find out if you and a potential lover may be compatible, you can complete a ‘Handwriting Self-Test’ on one of my websites, handwritingwizard.com.

It will give you some basic compatibility traits, as well as the ‘5 Hell Traits’ to watch out for in a person’s handwriting from last week’s newsletter.

While the use of handwriting analysis is commonplace in Europe, it is just now becoming mainstream in the U.S. About 80 percent of French companies use it to screen prospective employees, while an estimated 8000 U.S. companies now use it as an evaluation tool.

It’s amazing that companies will pay headhunters thousands of dollars on finding the right vice president, but some people won’t invest 80 bucks and 10 minutes to make sure they’re choosing the right life-long partner.

I suggest everyone take a few minutes to learn some of the key handwriting traits so that you can start looking for the perfect Valentine. For more information about handwriting analysis, training, or my books, visit myhandwriting.com or handwritinguniversity.com

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
http://myhandwriting.com/FAQ

Q: What can be told from a person’s signature?   A: The signature represents what a person wants the world to see or what he wants to be, an image that may or may not be the same as the inner self. Because a signature contains only a few letters, it does not provide enough information for the analyst to make a complete and accurate evaluation.   Q: My signature is illegible. What does that mean?   A: It means people have a hard time reading your name. Seriously, illegible handwriting can mean a number of things. In general, an illegible signature reveals a desire to be seen but not known, keeping things private.You may want to keep your true identity hidden. It could also mean you are in a hurry. People who continually sign their name all day long often do so in a hurry and, therefore, don’t care what their signature looks like. Illegible handwriting in combination with other specific traits may indicate dishonesty, but there are a lot of variables.   Q: Why is my signature different than how I write everything else? A: Because the signature is a badge to the world. It is a representation of what a person wants the world to see about himself. A signature that is different from the rest of his writing says he does not want to reveal everything about himself. There may be some aspect of his personality that he wants to hide, so he creates a new “person” by creating a signature with a different look.

Special Pre-Valentine’s Day article
by Handwriting Expert Bart Baggett

When the relationship first began it felt like both of you had wings on your feet and that together you could soar, hand in hand to greater heights of intimacy.

However, a number of months, even years have now passed and now the relationship is going nowhere. You may even be living together, but still you are missing that sense of initiation, that comes with truly knowing that the person is committed heart and soul to being with you and only you. Suddenly, you feel like you are wearing cement shoes.

“I do not want what I do not have” -Sinead O’Connor

 

You couldn’t take a step forward in this relationship, even if you tried, because every time you bring the subject up, your partner acts like a victim of the Spanish Inquisition or ignores the issue completely. Your partner may even behave as if just about anything in the world is more important, than discussing a future with you.

Sneaking a peek at your partner’s handwriting might give you some clues as why he or she might be reluctant to head down the aisle.

If you haven’t known the person a long time, it might simply be that he or she is just being very cautious. Caution in handwriting is often represented as a long dash that streaks out from the end of a lower case e or c. These little strokes forward almost resemble “roadblocks” that give the writer time to pause and assess the situation before he or she makes a move.

If your partner displays this trait (caution), then there is a chance that he or she is probably just cautious in all aspects of her life and the hold-up may not be something personal to do with you. The person may just need time to process and analyze their feelings than others. Usually, this is because they have been hurt before.

It could also be that your partner is just putting off the inevitable”, the same way he or she puts off doing the dishes, paying the bills and other matters. A procrastinator will always put off ’til tomorrow what can be done today or what should have been done six months ago (and that includes marriage.) You know you’re with a procrastinator if he or she has been talking about marriage for the past year, and there’s still been no exchange of rings. Or maybe, you’ve moved into together and the two of you seem to be living in a kind of blissful purgatory that doesn’t include any long-range plans. Procrastinators tend to cross their t-bars on the far left. It is like even the act of crossing their t’s is an afterthought.

Then there are those lovers that seem to live in an alternative universe. Every attempt to communicate with him or her seems to “go in one ear and out the other.” This type of lover can also seem very forgetful or like they have attention deficit disorder. This person may actually be lacking the tenacity it takes to follow through to a relationship that is only parted by death, as they are always “living in the moment” and “loving the one they are with.” This kind of person tends to lack a vision of the future and often tends to compress their writing into the middle zone (also known as the mundane zone) of their writing. For instance the tops of their t’s will not rise much higher than the tops of their n’s as below.

Another potential cause of your partner’s reluctance to commit to you is that he or she is not being honest with you. It is possible that he or she is keeping a big secret, like an affair. Indicators of secrecy are loops that look like circle within circles on the left-hand side of an o or a c:

It is also possible that he or she might be lying to him or herself about whether or not he or she actually does want to be with you. This kind of self-deceit is often caused by a reluctance to hurt the other person or a great disappointment that he or she can’t face with regards to the relationship. It is also possible, in this case that your partner is just staying out of you with habit and fears change. People who are lying to themselves or not facing the truth of a situation also tend to have o’s and c’s that contain loops within loops:

Examining your own handwriting for the above traits might also help you discover why you have chosen to stay with an emotionally unavailable person.

Breaking your relationship patterns might be as easy as changing the pattern of your handwriting. For more information about how handwriting can help you find “the one” go to:

FEATURE STORY :
Is this couple headed for divorce? Are they a match made in heaven or hell? Handwriting reveals all!-by Bart Baggett

One of the most profound uses of handwriting analysis is the art of compatibility analysis. I say “art” because even though predicting the personality is based on solid psychological principles, the ability to combine those two personalities and predict how these to humans will interact takes years of experience and is not something that can be calculated with math.

Look at the two samples and decide if you think the marriage will last. At the time they wrote this, now, they are married. However, they are considering divorce. Can they change? Should she change or he change?

Is he the problem or is she the problem? In my experience, it is always a two-way street. In this situation, They are both too sensitive to criticism and both have valid reasons, at this point, to want to leave the other.

I think she has been most generous and he is a pain in the butt.

Amanda, Wife

Now, here is her husband’s handwriting. We will call him JOE. Are they a good match. Will they get divorced?

---

Here are my notes on Amanda’s Handwriting sample below.

1. Fluid thinker, bright mind. Connects thoughts in a fluid fasion. Good talker.
2. Yielding round top “s”. Avoid conlict and yields in arguments when she knows she is right.
3. t-bars 3/4 of the way up the stem: good goals, pragmatic, good self-esteem
4. closed e-loops. Selective listening … closed her ears to certain people.
5. Tall looped d-stem. Excessive fear of criticism and vanity. Concerned about what others
might think and gets defensive quickly.
6. End of word tilting down is a sign of depression. Check for medical or emotional symptoms.
7. M humps going downhill = diplomacy.. a kind way with words and people.
8. A in Amanda is healthy size indicating a healthy ego to support a decent self-esteem. (Not high, but better than average.)
9. Big spaces between letters indicate a sense of generosity with her time and money.
10. a and o shapes that are very clean, open, and not-closed at the top indicate a sense of honesty, talkativeness, and clear communication.

---

Here are my notes on Joe’s Handwriting sample below.

1. Tall looped d-stem. Excessive fear of criticism and vanity. Concerned about what others
might think and gets defensive quickly. This loop is MUCH larger than Amanda’s because his middle zone is so much smaller. This indicates he is almost paranoid. He imagines criticism and makes assumptions that are not true. HARD TRAIT TO LIVE WITH.
2. Bouncy baseline indicates a fast mind and a lack of anal-retentive qualities. Often people with bouncy baselines are clumsey.
3. t-bars 3/4 of the way up the stem: good goals, pragmatic, good self-esteem as it relates to goals. ( A large d is an insecurity, but it should not be confused with one’s self-esteem)
Very pointed t-bars indicate a VICIOUS sarcasm. This is his defense mechanism for his sensitiveness…. hyper critical.
4. Very talkative. Talks without thinking first. He may be prone to hurt feelings considering his sarcastic and impulsive nature.
5. Go to HELL K. This large K indicates his rebellious personaity and need to break the rules. Hates conformity.
6. Sexual frustration. No surprise… his wife, Amanda, is divorcing him. Go figure.
7. Y and G downstrokes that end in a straight line and fade away. Straight down indicates a loner… he doesn’t trust or want to need anyone close. The fading quality is a bit of laziness and inability to make a strong powerful finish. I would say his physical drives and even energy has been compromised lately.
8. The d-stem is both looped and tilted backwards at a significantly different slant than the rest of the writing. This shows he “withdraws” into himself when he gets criticized and goes into his shell. (Yes, he has sarcasm… but his shell is the safest place when his feelings are hurt. This is confirmed by the small writing. )

Finally, his writing is small, focused, and has sharp points on his m and n humps. This shows a high level of analytical ability, focus, concentration , and intensity. His fear is what drives him to be difficult to live with because his defense mechanisms must be turned on 24 hours per day. He should retrace his “d” before he gets re-married.

This couple is already in the process of a divorce. Good decision.
