They probably are more relaxed and passive and more spiritual than assertive.
Another very interesting aspect that is easy to recognize in a person’s handwriting is the way in which they cross their t’s. The way in which a person crosses their t’s indicates a lot about their willpower. A t crossed very low on the stem is indicative of someone who is not so certain of themselves or their self-worth.
Research indicates that these are people who often do poorly on tests. Educators who understand the importance and value of handwriting will want to encourage their students to practice crossing their t’s higher on the stem.
Another interesting note about t crossings is that when someone crosses their t’s so the bar is actually not on the t, but off to the left are people who tend to procrastinate and t’s that cross off to the right but not touching the stem tend to be people who are very explosive and tempermental.
Writing is a subconscious activity. When we write we don’t think about forming each letter as we move our pen across the page. Our brain is actually doing the writing, not our hand.
Our hand is just responding to the messages the brain is giving the muscles and nerves of our hands. Our hands carry out the directives. When you want to take a look at your own writing try to write at least a couple of paragraphs and do it without stopping. Just let it flow so you can see into some of your own personality traits.
