Am I the only one that is straight up obsessed with detective shows? I’m currently working my way through Forensic Files on Netflix and more than once they’ve used handwriting analysis to compare two different samples and catch a killer. So when The Pen Warehouse let me know about their infographic, I thought it would be a neat thing to share.

So, according to this what does my handwriting say about me? My i’s say I’m tidy and don’t like clutter, well I can already hear my mum laughing at that. My O’s say I’m private and introverted- I agree with that and my spacing says I have poor time management which is pretty true, but it also says I don’t like being alone, which is definitely false.
Overall, I’m pretty sure the psychology of handwriting is a bit of a pseudoscience. I studied English Language at A-level and we did a little graphology so I think unless something it done deliberately, like hearts over the I’s, it depends on who taught you and how long you’ve been writing. Interestingly though, my handwriting is pretty similar to my brothers despite us being six years apart in age and never having the same teachers.
