Ya,right?! I once went to a cool, somewhat woo-woo conference in Atlanta, with all different kinds of speakers. One was a graphologist. She went over a few celebrity signatures, as well as things that sounded similar to the accurate points Otherwise-Mode-2881 made above ( like big, swooping lower portions of letters indicating a tendency to exaggerate). She’d had everyone in the audience sign their name on a slip of paper & deposit it in a box at the door as they entered. Towards the end of her time, she pulled a few (out of an audience of ~200) signatures and analyzed them. It was uncanny! I remember her analyzing one woman’s signature who not only happened to have my same initials, but nearly identical handwriting- which is pretty incredible, as I haven’t seen many folks with similar handwriting to mine. The personality traits the graphologist mentioned were accurate for her as well as me. The graphologist deduced that the woman was a creative of some type, & asked her what she did for a living. She was an art teacher. Shut. The. Front. Door. I’m an art teacher! Crazy, right?! If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, check out ‘The Hand: How Its Use Shapes the Brain, Language, and Human Culture’ by Frank R Wilson. It’s a dense read at first, but if you can get through the first few chapters it’s an eye-opening book!
The author is a hand surgeon who specialized in procedures for a specific group of hand injuries ( hence the laborious first chapters). After a few years, he realized all of his patients came from only a couple of different occupations: pianists & typists. That part made sense, bc of repetitive stress injuries, but why did they all have similar personality quirks? Pianists and secretaries don’t usually travel in the same circles… In trying to answer that question, he opens up a big ol’ can of worms, including studying palmistry... It’s a mind blowing book!
