Hi everyone,
Just signed up on the message boards.  I'm currently working my way thru Karen Amend's Hand Writing Analysis.

My questions have to do with printing vs cursive.  I saw the other post too.  I haven't actually written in cursive since 4th grade and I'm pretty sure my cursive looks the same as it did back then.  (I'm 22 :D)  Anyway, most people that I know write in a Printing style.  My questions are...

Should I ask them to write in cursive or in print when offering an analysis?

Does my lack of skill in cursive indicate anything?  (for instance, I write very slow in cursive, but only because I haven't practiced it in years.)

How much is more can be analyzed from cursive vs printing?

Thanks!

curvise is the best to work with... so you get all the loops and etc. but you can also get it from printing...minus some of the loops and connections and etc..I really perfer the curvise..Some people who print ..Still usually write their name in curvise..You can get much from a signature of the person

The italics, is what we learn at school with root in calligraphy and printing, whose subtype script to the letter (printed in lowercase).

The italics are several ways: angulosa, garland, arcade, square, etc..
The print or print is the one that we see in the headlines, with the script, the most common among adolescents.

In writing Caligrafiada (italics) the subject represses its instinctive drives to adapt to the rules. In Tipografica does not reject their impulses, hidden or camouflaged.

 The use of the letters typographical is one aspect of writing called artificial, affected by its forms and stereotypical, reveals a desire singled, pretension, esnobismo or the need to hide an inferiority complex. One particular application of artificial writing is writing script, which uses one or other printed characters and is interpreted as a desire to portray the other an image stronger than the real need of a distinguished and a quest for originality.

Ok, great that answers my questions.  I'll make my way through Amend's book and try out some of my friend's writing and come back and discuss my results with you all!

Thanks

The graphology as a means to find out the personality of an individual, the fact that people change their writing over the years, and it is very different to what they learned during the first school year. People evolve and escitura also away from the models learned into a unique and personal writings (mature people).

A good grafólogo is able to analyze all kinds of writings and establishing clear parameters personality and behavior based on a sample of writing.
