Understand the Slant of Letters in Handwriting Analysis

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Carmen Lynne with Expert Village. So what we're looking at is some details of handwriting analysis and looking at Lou's writing sample that he's done here for me, we're going to look first at the slant. There's two aspects of the slant. One is the slant on the paper itself which why I said to please not use lined paper. And the other is the slant of the writing itself. Does it move forward or does it stand straight up or does it move backwards like that? Ok, so as you can see, talking about the slant on the paper, you'll notice that it goes down a little bit, Ok? So, that actually that is something that can change because that indicates a person's current mood. So I don't know why, but you're feeling a little pessimistic today Lou. Maybe wondering if we're going to get through this handwriting analysis thing ok. So that's why the slant is a little bit down and if it was slanting up, that would indicate optimism and then level neither pessimistic or optimistic. But that again because its something to do with your current mood, that can alter. Now the slant, the writing itself the slant of the writing itself, that doesn't usually alter because that indicates basically how extrovert or introvert you are. So we can see that Lou is pretty extrovert because he's got his writing moving in a right angle. So its as if his writing is moving towards the next person. Yeah, make sense? That's true, I am definitely extroverted not introverted. So that's what we can see with that. Now if you notice that the writing was just straight up and down like that, that would mean just a kind of balanced person who's not particularly extrovert or introvert. If the writing slopes that way, then you're talking about a person who really pulls back from other people. You can see in the writing that's the same in the person themselves like that they're pulling back. Now the only thing that will be different is if you've got someone who writes left handed. So if they write left handed, everything is reversed. When you write left handed, a backwards slant as we call it, indicates extroverted and that forward slant indicates introverted. I'm glad to see that I'm extroverted. And that is on the slant and then we're going to be moving on to discuss some other points in the next sections. Be right back.
