I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have a beautiful handwriting, Taydr. I would love to see more of your writing. And the Dutch saying is one of my favourite sayings. :)

A woman I know who's a long-time graphologist by hobby told me once that my handwriting shows that I am serious, aloof, organized, not particularly emotional, unconventional in thought processes, and maybe a little depressed. The prognosis was quite accurate, I'd say.

I hate you guys. I scribble like a kid and I fear I won't ever be able to write down Arabic script or Kanjis without people asking wtf's wrong with that? :)

My Arabic handwriting looks like TheKickInside's on pg 16 and my Latin handwriting is one of the bad cases of "doctor's handwriting". My teachers and friends often complained they couldn't read it, so I do most essays on a computer.

(There's a reason my handwriting gets worse if I have to write a 4-pg essay: I've got celebral palsy and it seems it does affect my hand when writing a lot)

I thought doctors did that on purpose.. don't they? Plus, it's not really easy to scrawl in nice handwriting.

Doctors' messy handwriting transcends all borders.

It looks like it's already on its way.

I decided to revive this thread. I love seeing everyone's handwritings. Especially in different scripts.

So here's mine (It's the much-used excerpt from the UDHR)

English: (the first one is written at normal speed, and the second is my slower speed for when I want to be neater... I'm just realizing that there's not a whole lot of difference between the two... there usually is though...)
Image

Telugu:
Image

Hindi: (I'm not happy with it at all... it's not even...)
Image

Greek: (It got slightly cut off...)
Image

and finally, Farsi: (the first one is me writing normally (aka slowly and ungracefully), and the second is me trying to write faster but I'm not sure how well it turned out lol...)

Your Persian writing is good, both speeds, but maybe watch out for loops, for example in the first line of the speedy writing, it looks like افواد rather than افراد.
Also I remember my teacher telling me that writing on the line is a very European thing and that in Persian writing you shouldn't be constrained by such occidental limitations.

A man I know who's a professor of psychology told me about the Forer effect. I have to say it applies equally well here.

I dunno, if someone told me that they'd be wrong.

Things like astrology don't have to apply to everyone equally. They just have to be vague enough that anyone who wants to badly enough can find a way to shoehorn themselves into it.

Rowan Bayne, a British psychologist who has written several studies on graphology, summarized his view of the appeal of graphology: "It's very seductive because at a very crude level someone who is neat and well behaved tends to have neat handwriting", adding that the practice is "useless... absolutely hopeless".[44] The British Psychological Society ranks graphology alongside astrology, giving them both "zero validity".[44]

I agree with modge, graphology is bullshit imo.
Par exemple, l'enfant croit au Père Noël. L'adulte non. L'adulte ne croit pas au Père Noël. Il vote.

What do you guys think about my handwriting.
The second one is how it used to look many years ago, I'm trying to avoid it.
