What does your handwriting look like?

Voilà!

 

It has been so long since I've used cursive that I have, apparently, forgotten how to use it. In part, at least.

 

Funny thing, I just happened to have this image file from the last time folks on an online forum were comparing handwriting.

I don't do cursive, sorry. It's just painful.

I was taught cursive back around 1964, but I had already been printing so long before then that I didn't see the point of changing. For years, the only thing I wrote in cursive was my signature. Eventually, I realized I could print my signature, too.

Engineers and architects and city planners abandoned cursive for print long before it was cool to do so.

 

I'm not posting any examples, sorry.

My handwriting, and even my printing, both really suck. I should've been allowed to be totally left-handed, but no, my left-handed mother (and teachers) decided that it would be easier for me to be right-handed. Wrong!!

 

When "jump" is in past tense, the sentence does not have all 26 letters.

I suppose you could pluralize "dog", but then the jump has an Evel Knievel quality to it.

 

I have crappy handwriting and I know it. I also don't do cursive because it's painfully slow, and it looks like the crappy handwriting of a fourth-grader when I try.

I also realized just now I phrased it in the past instead of present, thus not having an "s" in there.

Whoops. Apparently I did not learn from @Baraka_guru's example....

 

Here are the seven samples. I don't know much at all about handwriting analysis, but here's my impression of each.
Edit: I also asked my daughter's boyfriend (DB) for his impressions, without showing him what I had written.


My impression: practical, unsentimental, sometimes a bit impulsive.
DB: Competent.


My impression: Optimistic, a bit impatient, guarded.
DB: Impatient.


My impression: Focused, determined, pessimistic.
DB: Careful, perfectionist.


My impressions: Cheerful, lighthearted, optimistic.
DB: Intelligent.


My impressions: Moody, analytical.
DB: Fun.


My impressions: Generally happy, honest and open, quite sexual.
DB: Confident, self-aware.


My impressions: Intellectual, forthright and confident, but aloof.
DB: Artistic, proud.

 

yes i know, its girly

 

It ain't pretty - computer nerds never have good handwriting - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Kinda a bastard mix of cursive and print. Now, where'd I put my keyboard?

 

well, mine is printed like an engineering student usually does... slow to write but manageable...
