    This is very informative and something to think about ESPECIALLY now when jobs are scarce. I have a friend who requires job applicants to handwrite a paragraph about themselves. She believes that she learns some things that an application or resume won’t tell her by doing so.

    Interesting read. Pertinent topic. Well written. Good work, Joni!

    I just discovered that I am rare, a concave writer that is.. and also I write like chicken scratch during my younger days, is there an explanation for that?

    I didn’t realise you could tell so much from handwriting. I spent ages in my youth perfecting my italic hand. I wonder if that says anything about my handwriting. I loved the article. good work.

    Good article. You can also tell a lot by how much the handwriting slants.

    a very fascinating article, so much to learn, but I do have one question, I am a left-handed person, does the rule also implies to people like me? Left-handed person as most people say are orthodox writers.

    Very good article.
    That’s terrible that employers use the handwriting, though! As papaleng said, what if you’re left-handed? I’m left-handed and I’ve noticed that my writing takes on a very different style than right-handed people.

    Great article Joni I have been told I have lovely handwriting all my life I really love handwriting but it has become a lost art. It’s sad in a way. Very informative article thanks

    Very interesting. I write in a straight line, so apparently I’m unyielding – that’s probably true!

    I’ve always had trouble with my signatures especially when I do bank transactions. Tellers always ask me to re-write them. This is something to think about. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve always been fascinated with graphology and would even want to study it. Wonderful read, Joni. Thanks!

    Thanks for that. Graphology always interested me too. Not sure how I feel about it being used to evaluate character or in the hiring process but it’s a very interesting subject.

    Great informative read Joni,I was aware of this,mostly because of analyzitation of criminals hand writing,but it is not a perfect science,I am a lefty like Papa and ML up above, but was forced as a child to write with my right hand,and nowadays, my handwriting sucks.

    I have to admit that I don’t think I would want my hand writing analysed! I’m not quite sure what a graphologist would read into it…but it may result in several funny looks and the stereotypical men in white coats turning up.

    Wow. I cant even read my own writing from time to time, if someone else evaluated it they would think I was angry.
