Is this anonymous letter writer someone you know?

I had a client last week who brought me three handwriting samples - two of them she thought were written by the same person. She wanted to know if they matched a third sample(written by someone knew). The first two were only signed with the initial "J," following her name and a one-sentence message written in cursive on yellow post-it notes urging her to go call for a free service regarding her credit cards and attached to newspaper articles . I immediately told her that the first two samples (I'll call them #1 and #2) attached to the newspaper articles were definitely not written by the same person (the writing slants varied a great deal), and that, in my opinion, they were a "scam" especially since the articles didn't mention a bona fide company's name (always suspicious to me, that's deceptive trade practice in my mind). No charge for that. But she insisted that it was driving her nuts to know whether or not either of them matched sample #3, the person she knew. She was willing to pay for peace of mind.

So I began to analyze samples #1 and samples #2 (the anonymous writers) for slant, depth, and 5 to 6 major personality traits in order to show her they weren't written by the same person. She nodded her head in agreement that these were definitely written by different people as I indicated the vast difference in slant. I went on to analyze the slant on sample #3 (the writer she knew). Immediately, I was able to show her that sample #2 was not a match with #3, so we were able to set that aside as irrelevant. The slants between #1 and #3 matched, but the depth varied - one was heavy and one was average. I continued on with my analysis. But when I began listing and comparing the personality traits on paper, showing what strokes were totally different, her eyes brightened up. She stopped me and said, "I can see it's not the same person! I'm VERY satisfied. You have given me piece of mind, now I can sleep at night. I'm confident that the person I know didn't send me these letters." She even opened her wallet and offered to pay me extra!

If you're comparing two handwriting samples for a match, start with the slant (the hardest thing to change), followed by depth (also hard to change). Is the slant to the right, vertical or to the left? Is the writing heavy (carved into the paper and dark), average (medium darkness with no scores on the backside of the paper) or light (thin, light strokes with no indentations on paper).

Right slant:





Vertical slant:





Left slant:





Variable slant:





Heavy depth:

Medium depth:

Light depth:

If the slant and the depth are the same, you will need to identify additional personality traits by consulting a certified handwriting analyst.

By the way, I also pointed out to my client that ALL THREE writers had the "lying loops" of deception, so I suggested throwing all future letters like this in the trash, and not trusting any of them with her money! You can't be too careful... there are a lot of scam artists out there these days.

Deceptive:

Shh! A few handwriting secrets

Do you know that graphology, or handwriting analysis, is a science? My studies with the International Handwriting Institute in Pebble Beach, CA were based extensively on methodology taught at universities in Germany and Switzerland. Graphology, also known as “brainwriting,” is widely respected and practiced as a science in Europe, where vocational and personality assessments are highly prized for their accuracy. It is now gaining enthusiastic acceptance in the United States by businesses and individuals alike. This graphology approach is a scientific and precise analysis, covering hundreds of behaviors, attitudes and preferences, and is based on research carried out for over one hundred and fifty years. Would you believe I use a magnifying glass, a protractor and calipers as tools of my trade?

If you've never had a chance to have your handwriting analyzed, here's a few secrets you can use on your own handwriting and scribbles of friends and family.

The secrets of handwriting analysis can help unlock the inner you, and the personalities of those around you. Let me show you a few you can use right away:





Looped d- and t- stems indicate self-criticism. These people anticipate criticism, and don't handle even constructive criticism well regardless of how softly it it put. But also know that people with this trait will brighten up instantly if given a compliment.




If you write with a forward slant, you are emotional, ruled by your heart rather than your head. An extrovert who is emotionally expressive and can be impulsive. You take everything that people say or do as an expression of whether they like you or not. Your life is either “all joy” or “all pain,” and you are rarely on an even keel. People know how you feel just by looking at you or listening to you. You react to situations quickly, acting first and thinking later. You have a wonderful ability to empathize with other people because you respond to them emotionally.





If your employee's word endings are long and curved up slightly, he is generous with his time, words, and materials. You can expect him to stay late, or work Saturdays to help you out in an emergency. But don’t hire him as a credit manager! He'd be much happier and do a better job in customer service.










Will this writer make a good secretary? Yes. She would be well-qualified for a secretarial position, since she is emotionally stable and can cope well with emergencies. She has some empathy for others and relates well to co-workers and superiors, without going overboard.
She would be a loyal employee, and because she is very discreet, she could be trusted with confidential matters.
