What does it mean when your handwriting changes permanently?

What does it mean if your handwriting changes drastically with every few paragraphs?

  • My handwriting usually changes every few paragraphs, and sometimes every few lines. What does it say about my thought process? And if it is relevant, I think I'm also pretty good at imitating the handwriting of others. My writing is just not consistent.

  • Answer:

    It means you are super special awesome. Go forth, young man, and make the world yours.

Fickle minded personality....

Without seeing your handwriting or knowing what you are actually describing, I'd be more inclined to say "mood" than "personality," exactly.  There are certain characteristics of handwriting that don't change much within numerous samples, or they tend to vary the same %age across samples.  There are lots of handwriting analysis books on the market.  The older ones tend to be more judgmental; IMO.  Vimala Rogers has an interesting book about adjusting your personality by changing your handwriting, "Transform your life through handwriting." You might find it interesting.

Your handwriting is a keyhole towards your personality. While there are many people who dont have a consistent handwriting,which actually is a general trait and pretty normal, changes in handwriting show diffrent moods.. also..change of handwriting every paragraph shows an unstable Mind and personality.people who write in this fashion generally are very fickle minded. They have a continuous thought process which most often does not lead to any conclusion. it is not a bad sign,but you can surely work on it..and as far as immitating handwriting is considered,well,you are lucky you can do that so have all the fun you can( \U0001f608 ) as long as u dont do anything illegal!

It means you did not drill in Palmer Method Penmanship  in grammar school.  The Palmer method required drills over and over again until uniform style resulted--giving us generations of consistent (and rather boring) long hand writing.  Many of the people in my parent's generation had virtually identical handwriting. My generation, in the 1950-60's, learned this style, but did not do the tedious drills, so our penmanship is not uniform or as neat or legible.  Basically, your handwriting varies because you did not drill penmanship as a child. I'm not sure if it would make a difference to drill now, since your style (or lack of style) is ingrained. It would take significant concentration on your part to maintain consistency. Today, American school children receive no training in cursive penmanship at all, resulting in a generation that will print when not using a keyboard. How dull! Will they sign legal documents with illegible scrawls or with "X" or thumbprints? How will they read letters from grandma and old handwritten documents? The next generation of historical researchers will be stymied.Compare the signatures on the US Declaration of Independence.  Granted, the signers were using quill pens rather than ball-points or felt-tips as we do today, but oh my, those signatures were distinctive and artistic, and generally legible. I, for one, will mourn the loss of legible cursive writing.

Think of your handwriting as a snapshot in time of your current mental state. The changes you describe can be attributed to many things, so it's hard to surmise a complete answer without seeing the writing. At the time of the writing: WHO were you writing to? How were you feeling? What was the topic? Many of these things can affect how you write. As others have said, most of it likely relates to mood changes. Is this how your writing looks ALL the time? If so, you might want to think about what things in your life are leading you to moodiness/inconsistent or confused thinking. Does your slant change within the paragraphs? Another important aspect, which is why it's important for an analyst to see the writing before making commentary. I'm not sure how the "imitating the handwriting of others" aspect comes into your question: are you imitating others' writing when the changes you describe happen? Is there some reason you are imitating the writing of others? This brings up some deeper questions about why you might not be happy with the way your writing appears to you or others. Again, more complete information is needed. An analyst can ask you a great many questions that can lead to self-discovery for you.

You would have to define "changes drastically." The 300+ indicators of your handwriting change far less than you realize no matter with what or on what you are writing. It may look different to you, but those indicators change far less than you think.I outline why it's impossible to replicate someone's handwriting in this blog post: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2012/09/why-it%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s-impossible-to-replicate-someone%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s-handwriting/ Artists may be able to somewhat alter their handwriting (to the untrained eye) but if a person is applying for a job, for example, consider the directions on my handwriting analysis sample form:  “The writing sample should be done in your normal writing style while you are comfortably seated at a table or desk. If you habitually print, then please also include a paragraph of cursive writing. If you normally have several styles of writing, you may also include samples of each...” Even if someone does attempt to alter their usual script, a good analyst easily spots bluff and deception. By attempting to significantly alter your handwriting, you're risking misrepresenting yourself to the detriment of appearing to not be a match for the job.

This is great news. You're not stuck focusing on penmanship but on content. My handwriting, even with a fountain (and worse with those dreaded ball points), begins nice and degenerates within a few paragraphs. Here's why for me.Get-'er done. As I go I get more and more into my work. If I am writing things that simply must be written down I just want to get it done and if I can still read it, fine. Aching hands. Sometime my writing gets worse because my hand gets tired.Ideas come faster than I can write. On the other hand, if the ideas are flowing and I want to get them on paper before they are gone then they must be written, pretty or not.Graphology, the study of handwriting, says that the real me is somewhere after the first few paragraphs. It is always fun to look at our own handwriting and see if the clues to our personality are really there or if it is just hocus-pocus. Dip pens can change my handwriting. I've discovered that when I write with a dip pen my handwriting looks more like it is drawn than written. It forces me to stop every sentence or two and relax my hand. Actually, from a composition standpoint, I find that if I must express something methodically and logically, writing with a dip pen forces me to think and then write.Whatever...keep writing. It is the thoughts and ideas that are more important than the penmanship. You can always re-write it in pretty handwriting later.

There is no good way to answer this without actually seeing your handwriting. There are thousands of variables and since there is no accurate “this means that” interpretation, it’s important to see how all the parts work together.Often, a changeable handwriting is indicative of someone who is experiencing emotional turmoil. Or it can be creativity. Or it can be a learning disorder.

How your handwriting actually changes shapes, forms, textures, and stresses is more important than the fact that it changes.Your handwriting will alter with your moods, your situation, your writing materials, and perhaps other reasons.Handwriting is dynamic and unlike a computer-based system, which always puts the same spin and emphasis on every letter or form, your natural handwriting reflects your real-time mental states, it puts emphasis or diminishes emphasis, it shows flair or depression, creativity, ambition, deceit ~ traits and feelings that are entirely missing with keyboard generated scripts.Biometric graphologists are trained to recognize and understand what makes handwriting “tick” so to speak. So we need to know what changes, not if something changes.It’s possible for handwriting to change in a matter of paragraphs from energetic to slow and shallow; from commitment to goals to lack of same; from enthusiastic to ho-hum. And so on.And it can change back again. Biometric graphologists are paid to see, analyze, and evaluate the whole personality behind a particular script. If the personality is truly wildly volatile, so is the handwriting likely to be.If you upload a sample of your changeable script we can offer a bit more enlightenment.Thanks for your interest,blc
