As for the handwriting analysis, I have seen a few TV programs related to that topic. But I have to wonder about that as well, because a lot of my handwriting is basically "copycatting" other's handwriting letters that I particularly liked when I was younger. My "g's" do not have a curve, but go straight down. I also write "a's" like you see in this text. Not really my personality, per se, but borrowed from another, so analyzing would be faulty for me?


If I can but in? (I am anyway, lol!)
'Borrowing' ways of forming letters is normal. You 'borrow' what suits you and make it your own. You do this all through your life. If you have a piece of your handwriting from , say, 10 yrs ago - even 5 - compare it with your current style and see what has changed! I myself changed my d's about 20 yrs ago 'cos I liked the lower case Greek delta better and found it more comfortable to write with my style than the stiff, upright 'd'. A handwriting analyst doesn't care where you borrowed from, only that you use it
