I remember once in middle school I forgot to put my name on my paper and got 100% on a quiz. We had a sub returning papers and there were two people who had no names, me and a guy in my class. She refused to believe my paper was mine because the handwriting was so awful and she didn't want to give the wrong grade to the wrong person (drastically different grades). I had to have several other students vouch that my handwriting was mine and in the end she also double checked my notes to make sure.
How sexist and terrible is that, to tell a kid they're lieing because girls always have good handwriting? |
I've had female teachers that have worse handwriting than me! That should go to show that substitute that handwriting legibility has nothing to do with whatever sex that person is.
|
My handwriting has always been borderline uneligible. You'd have a better chance of reading ancient nurse runes than mine. :/
|
I hate how people do generalize that girls have better handwriting. I've seen some awful handwriting. However, there is reasoning behind it. Boys use the logical side of their brain, which goes with math, and people who are good at math have bad handwriting because they only focus on that side of the brain for the most part.
While girls use the other side which focuses on the English portion and stuff. They write more and are more engaged with what they are writing, therefore, they write better. However, it can easily be turned around. That's just the basic generalization. |
I am a boy with amazing handwriting, but I'm a homosexual so I'm not sure if that counts

Oooh, so the topic is handwriting?
Some of the people here probably already've seen mine in the thread that I made a long while ago, but anyways mine has changed recently due to some factors; I figured I still can write nicely enough for me and fast enough for school standards if I write small letters smaller than I did before, also my n/m doesn't look like a u/w anymore because I sorta needed to differentiate those :p Compared to the other guys in my class my writing looks "insanely tidy" and "really nice", but maybe it's also got something to do with that I'm transgender and so on |
Sometimes my handwriting in earlier grades was considered above average for the time. That hasn't really changed for me, although learning cursive wasn't straight nature for me at first.
Doesn't matter too much nowadays, because most of the stuff I write out is done through typing, anyway. |
My hand writing when I'm going fast or a normal speed is kind of bad, but if I slow down it's kind of round and cute looking. Nothing fancy, and I can't write in cursive very well. v o v
|
My mom always said my handwriting was crappy. Well, she says that about everyone's, but I can't ever read hers
|
Mine's a combination of cursive and printing. I learned how to write cursive at 4th grade but never really mastered it, because I despised it. lol. So later on I learned how to combine both printing and cursive in writing so that way I could have the best of both worlds. That eventually pissed off my teacher. :D
|
I was taught cursive since Kindergarten, so I mostly write in cursive.
My handwriting appears to change with my mood. It is pretty and tidy when I'm calm and happy, regular handwriting most of the time, and an ineligible mess when I'm angry or anxious. |
It'd definitely look like 10 times nicer if I was using actual writing paper and such, but aaaanyways;

I always wanted to go to Germany, and living near an Army base I know so many who have.
When my mother got back from Alaska she had a choice: Go to Germany for 3 years and take us or go alone to Korea for a year. My dad wouldn't shut up about how much hated Germany so he didn't have to go, so we didn't. :/ |
lol why would hate germany?
|
I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure that gender and sexual orientation have no effect whatsoever on one's handwriting. However, I do prefer women and I'm female so maybe I'm only furthering that faulty idea...
Also, Germany is pretty close to me now. Now that I can live in the UK forever I want to travel all over. I only need the funds to do so. |
Quote:
Nazi stereotypes and all such things and maybe other unexistant reasons I can't think of... I only know that mediterraneans, especially Greeks sorta cherish a grudge against us for some reason |
I heard that Germany is full of people who value their privacy...
|
You make it sound like that there are people who don't value their privacy.
I'd like to meet them. |
Quote:
Long story short it wasn't Germany he hated. For once in his life an oppurtunity presented itself where God forbid Mike Rose give a cent for someone else. No exaggeration on that. |
In other news, I learned how to say "suck it" in German. Well, a little more detailed than that, but yeah. x]
|
I hate the German language so I don't think I'd ever set foot in Germany :|
Nowadays I write so fast that my writing's awful ;; |
Quote:
in some ways. |
Ya know, as of recent, I've been wanting to start writing in cursive 100%. Writing in print is boring. I always love to sign my name, that's the only time I write in cursive, unfortunately. I don't even like printing my name at all either. I'm weird, I know. I should self teach myself how to write again!

My handwriting changes with urgency. If I'm going fast or I just don't care, it's an unintelligible mess that only me and [somehow] teachers can understand. If it's something I legitimately want to take some time to write, it can come out really nicely. Usually by the end of any writing piece though my handwriting goes down in quality because my brain is like "FORGET ABOUT NEATNESS AND JUST LET THIS END ALREADY."
I'm good with my cursive, but I always mess up a random letter. Like z. :x |
Cursive has a time and place.
Writing cursive on a sheet where I need to read your name and I can't because of your crappy handwriting just makes me hate my job. |

I always write in a sort of effeminate print, because I think it looks pretty and legible. My signature uses a form of ♥♥♥♥ed-up cursive specifically reserved for signatures.
And guys, you won't believe this, but... I stumbled in on my landlady watching Casino, and Joe Pesci was narrating and played a role. ...Meowth! The voice! The boss! The schemes! Everything working to plan! It's all from that movie! :DDD |
My handwriting, according to my friends, is unique. A weird mix between print and script, but it's nice aesthetically, when I'm not rushing. I think I might actually write something out and take a picture of it. Even though I should really finish this essay soon... been on my last paragraph for quite some time now, whoops. D:
Geoff, don't kill meh http://s28.postimg.org/6j147msi5/20140311_003224.jpg |
Yeah, your writing is quite unique. You have a mix of handwriting, printing and a slant going on XD
Spoiler:
Has anyone been interested in knowing what their handwriting says about themselves? o.o I've always wanted mine analyzed. |
i'm more than willing to analyze you. sit tight i'll be there in half an hour
also asian notebook ftw? |
I think your definition of analyzing is different from mine. By the way, it takes an hour to get from Toronto to here, just saying. And yuh, how'd you know? XD

Dakota your handwriting is so charming, I love it.
I like how in elementary school they told us you were REQUIRED to write in cursive in high school/college/the real world, yet, at my high school, most things were typed, and everything written was just like "Um who wrote in cursive? I can't read this at all" |
I've posted this image of my handwriting before, but I'll go ahead and repost it anyways..
Spoiler:
Yeah, my handwriting isn't the best. I'm also left-handed as well. |
My handwriting is extremely sloppy. I would post it here, but too embarrassed for it. xD" Should probably practice more. After all, practice makes perfect, right?

My handwriting is beautiful. There're pictures of it somewhere on PC, if anybody cares to dig deep enough to find them.
I'm going to go forging Zach's signature now to get his millions. |
That's not even my real signature, it's just how I write in cursive lmao
|
Oh right - if it were your real signature it'd say "Zach L Media"
|
Nah, it says "Shining Raichu" ;)
|
I actually wonder what some professional analyzer would say about my handwriting, as it's quite different from most others in terms of letter proportions and I write it rather "aggressively"; also it can depend on my mood
But I wouldn't say it's neat or beautiful or something, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder and such |
I had to switch over to cursive in order to read my own handwriting, and it still looks like crap. :P

Hand writing analysis is most a pseudoscience, from what i've gathered. I certainly hope so, because evidently slanted, small handwriting means I'm a sociopath and/or serial killer in training. XD
|
Eh, I just think my hands are a bit weird and write in whatever way they want. After years and years of trying to control it into something nice, it's just round blobs with occasional irregular stripes. Hm, maybe that's just what letters are though 8)

have you ever seen how cursive Russian looks like? Well maybe you probably never did actually, so... Spoiler:

Everyone else is doing it and I am oh so susceptible to peer pressure. Edit: Actually not as many people are doing it as I thought. That makes me one of the trend setters. Sweet. |
Spoiler:
So my friend was sitting besides me while I was typing this up and I didn't notice her until I noticed her then I freaked out and closed this tab and felt really embarassed >< |
I always do that when my brother walks into my room XD and my mom as well, but sometimes she asks me what I was on ;-;
|
What is it that you guys are embarrassed about, hm? (; Doesn't matter who it is, I never really close tabs. Just keep it open to the most generic one when I feel someone looking over my shoulder or sitting right next to me.

All I can think about when I hear hand writing analysis is a video I saw about prank/joke from a TV series in which the hosts were told what to say to the "costumers" by the other hosts over a microphone. Not really funny but not terrible either. |
Because I am autistic, my handwriting pretty much looks like a kangaroo drew it. (It means that nobody else can see what I wrote until they study it thoroughly which annoys me.)

My handwriting is like a weird mix of cursive and print, leaning toward cursive when I'm writing quickly/sloppily. Even I have trouble reading what I write, to the point where I often just give up if I wrote too much. It isn't worth the effort of trying to figure out what I said.
|
My handwriting is still sloppy, though I did improve on it a bit, at least I can read it now.
Spoiler:
My German skills have gotten a little better, I'm still relatively an "infant" when it comes to my knowledge on German but I'm not as clueless as I was a month and half ago. Spoiler:
|
I still dunno the difference between cursive and printing haha. The wonders of not being a native English speaker...
|
It's hard to explain , but cursive is when the letters are joined together like this
Spoiler:
Print is when the letters are separate Spoiler:
In other words, print is what you learn at like 3, 4 or 5 and cursive is what schools make you learn around 9 or 10. I hated learning cursive as a kid, I mainly use it for signing things now lol. My cursive is admittedly better than my print haha. |
Ah thanks Kouzan!
I'd say I write both quite well if I don't rush. I've been told that I write like a computer so there's that. |
You write like a computer? So you write in binary, right?
|
You got me there :p
Haha what I mean, if that makes any sense, is that I write letters almost like you'd type them on a computer. They kinda look alike. |
I was gonna come here and take a photo of my handwriting for you but this morning I got my finger caught in a chair and mangled it and it's on my left hand and I'm left handed so my handwriting is not its best self today :(
|
I write absolute crap with my left hand, I should really try to practice it more. I can't even hold a pen properly with it :|
right-handed ftw! |
Quote:
|
My writing would come out terrible if I use my left hand because I'm a rightie... which the rest of my family apparently isn't.
|
So, like, nobody cares about my injured finger? That was a cry for attention, you guys are failing spectacularly.
|
Quote:
And the teacher writes so fast, I just have to rush it. |
Quote:
If I weren't so eager to get to bed, I'd post mine. But ouch dude, that sounds it hurts. |
Andy, I'm terribly sorry about your mangled finger.
[Insert pity here] |
Thank you! Was that really so hard guys? Slendy knows what's up.
EDIT: Also Kouzan whose post I've only just seen. |
I do hope it's not the middle finger, else you wouldn't be able to make the almighty sign :(
Seriously, I hope you heal soon! |
I'm so completely different from the rest of my family. I think I stick out like a sore thumb to most people. :/

This is why I always say that females are generally more gentle and kindhearted than males. Not that i'm trying to be sexist or anything, but I have a tendency to think that way in real life and on the internet, also.
I too have autism and most of the real life friends i've had were in my earlier years, in middle and high school. Nowadays in college, most people are busy or concerned with their own problems. |
I'm not sure how it feels to be autistic (because I'm not), but people in the past have called me autistic because I wasn't social, and this was back in middle school. Of course, that changed in high school when I overcame shyness and socialized a lot more.
|
I seconded Zach. Back then I was mistaken to be autism because I was becoming shy in a few years back, but I started to overcome my shyness little by little.

Unfortunately the word "autism" to many people have been reduced to a buzzword to refer to someone that they personally find out of ordinary (even in the slightest) or don't like in any way.
|
That's sad to hear, and that was one of the reason why I left a certain youth group some years ago. But I heard that autism is special too in some way, so being autism doesn't mean that you're not good at all.

I think Spectrum Disorder (of which I assume is what we're actually talking about), is made up of a double-spectrum that acts as a cost-benefit weight for the disorder. Oddly, low-functioning autistics are included in the spectrum, but aren't as highlighted. I'll explain.
Essentially, what I see is two different spectrums—gradients, if you will: One is the degree in which the person's intelligence and other factors are displayed, and a second in which the inhibiting factors are grouped into a generalized array of sub-spectra. I'll use myself as an example: For me, my intelligence quotient was systematically graded at 128 at 8 years old; along with this I do have a leniency for self-absorptism and often go out of my way to further it. Positive-negative, right? As for the second spectrum I find myself largely neutral to it; when I was younger I would often have temper tantrums and would always be breaking the rules where I could (this has since passed). All of that has balanced itself to pretty much zero, and the balance in my spectrum disorder is found in the positive-negatives mentioned earlier along with some added traits that are simply in my personality. For others, the case may be where they have an above-average rather than super-high IQ, and exhibit less self-serving behaviors and actions. I imagine that possibly the second array may be independently balanced from the first, but I'm not entirely sure. In low-functioning autistics (the mute ones and such), their brainpower is often off-the charts but is counter-acted by the fact that they have next to zero socialization skills. Then again, they may possibly on a different sub-spectrum that functions in a similar fashion as the aforementioned high-functioning subspectrum, and I realized that this is the general medical consensus. To get a picture of the levels of spectrums, here. Neuro-typicals > [insert standard human categorization hooplah here] Neuro-atypicals > Low-functioning >> polar low-functioning >> nonpolar high-functioning > High-functioning >> polar high-functioning >> nonpolar high-functioning |

Finger cuts are horrid. Especially on pressure points you need to press down on frequently. I had a trainee slam my fingers in the register, and rip the skin off my index finger. I wanted to slap the sense they lost back into them
