on the topic of signatures, what if someone doesnt sign with their given names but rather their online nickname or name they chose for themselves? i've only heard abt people that crosses out their family name or like not even write it at all so i've never seen anyone analyze the former

Hey, as I was watching I was wondering if there are differences in analyzing handwriting in other languages. You mentioned the writing of "I", but for some languages the ending of the word changes based on who is being mentioned (yourself, he, her, them). Could it be a video idea?

Thank you for that amazing video! Do those characteristics also apply for lefties? As we push the pen where the others pull it, does it have an influence on the analysis?
This is really interesting to me because I've been seeing myself a certain way, but thinking about my own handwriting while watching this video, graphology would tell me I'm a totally different person from that. But when I think about it, the analysis isn't wrong because it's revealing the part of me that's... I dunno. Truer. And somehow survived the judgment I've passed on myself. I've always liked my writing, but this is the first time I feel like it's precious.
About slant, what if you angle the paper so your slant is rightward on purpose? I was taught to do that, but when I place it straight it's leftward, so idk how to analyse

sometimes people will rotate either the paper or their wrist to compensate for a declining baseline... that doesn't have to do so much with slant as it does the "rotation" aspect, and I'm not sure if that's what happening... but do check for it because that can indicate someone who is either hiding their depression or their fatigue. I hope this helps!! but if you were just taught to do that, then I wouldn't worry too much about it! try rotating the page back after youve written to see the "true" slant. this is what I'll do when looking at a sample like this :)
From what i know is that if you have ADD / ADHD your handwriting's slant changes and the writer tends to mix all caps with lower caps, people with adhd also have illegible handwriting and the baseline is bit more wavy then a normal person (this does not mean the writer is emotionally chaotic in this case it just means being kind of messy and irregular) ofc im not saying that if someone has this type of handwriting they automatically have adhd these are just some indicators i found interesting Edit 1: ok im going to keep adding points that people tell me in the replies so if you have any interesting pointers dont forget to reply so i can add it here! :) Edit 2: @Your local flat iron ty for replying!

Hello Leah! Can you please make a video about sudden decreasing in writing, lying, letters like a and o, irregular t bars, too loopy handwriting, aggression, closed/unclosed loops in letters a, o, d, breaking in lower zones like g. I know this is a lot, but this is kind of similar to my handwriting. I've been watching your videos for a while, and I finally know enough to do a handwriting analysis, but I have lots of questions. Also, my handwriting is very different at home and in public (school). I would also love to know more about stressed handwriting or emotional distortion and turbulence. Thank you so much of the video! ❤
i find a new hobby everyweek and now analysing writing seems so interesting to me lol
I think that we have to analyze handwriting in cultural context, my foreign parents for example had to write with an angle in school and know can not write straight. In general I find it really hard to differentiate between natural and learned behavior
So I wanted to say that I just discovered your channel and it actually got me into graphology. I started a few days ago to analyze other's handwriting and it's amazing how accurate it can be. It's really amazing! Your video tutorials helped me a lot too >
No idea how I found this but I am SO glad I did!! I’m a neuroscience geek and also work extensively with childhood trauma so this right up my alley!!! YEAH!
i need you to know that i did a surface-level handwriting analysis and a surface-level natal chart (like, astrology) analysis for my friends and they lined up perfectly! the most notable for me is that the margin spaces and baselines looked like their natal chart (i.e., their baselines tend to go downward, the planets on their chart is in the lower half) idk i just thought this was super super cool

So, apparently I have a lot of self respect since even my private writings are very legible 😂 Contained anger/stress, but also genuinely friendly. Average to low self-esteem. Imaginative with eye for detail. Generally emotionally stable. Friendly, but cautious. That's what I get from my handwriting based on this😅 This is such an interesting topic. I'll be checking out more of your stuff.
Excited for your signature analysis video!
Handwriting is so interesting! 5 years ago I started calligraphy, an other kind off writing, but like to do it. Thank you Leah for your posts!
I absolutely love these videos and her graphology tips. I have used these so much in life. I started writing a comic and try to use graphology to further communicate the characters' moods and personalites for people like Leah who could pick up on these things.
Very fun and helpful! Good video, so interesting as a writer.
loved the video! about the i dot trait - i noticed that, for example, when i write “ie” combo, especially if i'm writing fast, my i dot becomes one stroke with the “e”'s middle line. what does it mean? and i would love a video about graphology with learning disabilities and like neurodiversity as a whole! i have adhd and asd and i wanted to comment about doing a video about this for a while now, but i forgot lol also another idea: how does being left-handed affect handwriting analysis? as a leftie - i'm very curious :]
Alas I’m a bit late to the video, but something I noticed in my handwriting is that the dominant zone changes when I write my friends’ names (specific I know lmao) Usually my writing is very upper zone dominent with a bit of a larger lower zone, but the other day when I wrote out my friend’s username I noticed I made the first letter larger and the rest of it was very middle zone centric. Which I suppose would make sense, I talk to them a lot / are very social with them and think highly of them, but it was just interesting to notice
Great video! Thank you! Can’t wait to see your next one!
I seem to have a lot of those broken forms, though I think I used to have them in my handwriting a lot more frequently. Could you maybe explain and elaborate on what "emotional distortion" particularly means? Sounds rlly intriguing
love ur vids as usual!
First off, I have ADHD and looking back down to what I wrote, it all makes much more sense with that context. My note-taking handwriting is very angular. And my hands are very tense. However, my regular handwriting can be curvy. I have a lot of distortions such as adding lines where no letter goes there (when note-taking), as well as letters I just do differently to how they're usually done. I also sometimes add a random capital letter without realizing. My handwriting tends to be very firm on the page, both when I'm trying to be Very Legible for an assignment or Very Fast in class. My slant changes on a whim. Used to be to the right only, now it's to the left as well, and when I'm taking my time, there's no slant at all. My I is like a lowercase L most of the times. Could put them next to each other and not tell a difference, like Il. My legibility fully depends on whether I'm taking notes, writing for someone else, leisurely writing for myself and CREATIVE MODE. Both note-taking and CREATIVE MODE are near completely illegible, most of the times, while the other two are pretty legible. I never, at any single point EVER, dot my 'i's. I feel it's a waste of time and a waste of hand movement lmao you can get the idea from the general shape of the word that it's not an L. And if not. Well. L to you. My t lines also vary a lot, but when in fast mode, I don't even lift the pencil to cross it out. Just the sorta loopy l and then loop back up and cross and go where I came from. Suppose it could be confused with a b under the wrong light. Anyway I just wanted to compare the video to myself.

Damn, i analysed 13 pages of my new diary (I've filled only 13 rn) and i saw more than 20 times the usage of small i to refer myself. There are places where i did use capital I but that maybe the habit due to the English rules studied in the entire schooling. I did tell a friend of mine that i think I'm not that great that i need a capital letter to adress myself. But maybe there's a huge difference between "need" and "deserve"....but yeah, subconsciously i do think i don't deserve things...maybe i don't deserve anything 😂

I would be interested in how trauma influences graphology - and compare before and after the trauma - and most importantly can we see healing in the handwriting? Cheers, thanks for sharing.
I love your channel, and love graphology, it amazes everything how much you can tell by a person's writing, you are so on point with your analysis, and you come from a really good place too 🤟
This is really intresting and the first time I'm hearing about handwriting playing a part in getting an in-depth look at someone's inner self. I find this more intresting because I change between two types of writing style. Print with a few curves on my 'y's and 'g's, just anything with a tail. My main handwriting is cursive joint with again those curves with tails of letters and letters like 'f' with the tail wrapped and not having the line through the letter. My 's' aswell with the tail curving even when not being joint. I care a lot about my handwriting because I love writing but I often feel self conscious cause their isn't many that actually like to write in cursive and that often causes miss communication because it can be hard to read for some people. Sometimes my letters drop under the line, or just too cramped together to form a coherent word.
As I'm listening to this, each step and description of a particular style brings to mind the handwriting of someone I know and it's so spot on. This shit is wild.
I would love to see a vid that's like 30 mins long where it goes over EVERYTHING, fully talking about everything. Where there's no waiting for a different video.
I often have to write on very curved surfaces with thick markers for work. Lower case Es and upper case Rs turn out much more legibly in that specific writing topology. But now I do it all the time because I’ve grown accustomed to it. I’m sure graphology would label me a lunatic for many of my writing habits, but they just come from an unusual writing environment. Just something else to think about.
I LOVED TODAYS VID :D

Hey leah! i was wondering, I have a good self image of and am comfortable with myself. My T and F bars are mid to high yet I seem to never capitalize my i's. I was wondering if that said anything? I my current theory is I tend to write quickly and sometimes three strokes seem more work than a line and a dot, is this just a personal choice and therefore means nothing? Or is there more to it? appreciate you leah! You got me into one weird but niche and cool hobby!!

Hello, I started watching your videos few months back and your videos are really nice, you explain things very well. I started learning Graphology and I know some basic stuffs, and I wish to learn some advanced things so could please tell me which book I should refer. I love to learn this kind of stuffs, last year I tried to learn hypnosis and now I can hypnotize people, definitely not exactly like experts but atleast some basic stuffs like Hands locked and forgetting their own name. These skills also helped me to connect with unknown people. So have you tried anything else than Graphology?
I'm analyzing a friend's school notes. their slant varies at first, then eventually and abruptly goes completely left. I'm not sure what this indicates, possibly repression of aggression?
not me taking notes bc this is so interesting😂
I can relate with the talent being underrated with this.
A lot of times I've got outside factors, especially the point. If it's fine, I write smaller, neater unless I've been writing for awhile. If thick, or if the ink is low with a pen, the texture changes which turns it very sloppy and to an extent it makes me giggle. Other writing traits come from old habits, I picked up writing one letter a very specific way from the way a teacher did it in grade school, and I'd place the line lower on the t's partly from mental exhaustion from forcibly writing cursive (that line height costs energy, man) and also thought it was "pretty" anyway. Now I cant shake the habit so many years later, it depends on my mood or wrist's conditions on where I put the line now before it defaults to lower. I also noticed the slant and letter size can change from line to line whether I'm running out of focus or not. I'm an adhd-er if that helps. It turns out nicer with the right pencil and some warmups 😆 I no longer get annoyed with the inconsistency. Graphology is a fun thing to research but theres still not a whole lot out there, thanks for this
What books are you taking samples from? I’d love to grow my graphological library!! Always a good day when I get to watch a new Leah vid :) ty!!

Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me what book you were utilizing in this video? It looks really interesting and I kinda want to read it myself!
I was always so confused as to how people's handwriting turns out to be anything different than the typical text we all trace as kids to learn how to write letters. Like how do you suddenly go from tracing perfect letters exactly how they should be to crazy curves or different shapes. It seems automatic to just stick with how it was taught.

How writing is taught is just ... very legible, but also inconvenient. It is like a path without shortcuts and everybody walks a different shortcut once they get comfortable writing. Some people (me, lol) consciously work on their handwriting
I am literally one handed and have bad arthrtis in my working hand . I tend to use angles more when m arthritis is flaring up, but it's not the norm. This could change daily, depending on the pain. How does that change the analysis. Also, my grandmother had very bad arthritis and her writing changed "more permently"with age. Do you take that into consideration when analyzing?
I Just found your Channel and I'm loving your content. I studying graphology in english, I'm Brazilian, But is hard to find content about graphology in portuguese. My question is, can the language change the interpretations ?
I noticed the size of my "I" is usually the same size or sometimes smaller as the other letters. But sometimes my I's are a little bigger if there' a word with a capital letter just before it because I'm trying to make sure the I is the same height as the other capital letter. If the word with the first letter capitalized come after the I, that word usually takes the same size of the I, with some exceptions. Some of my capital letters are the same size as lower case words, especially my Ws for some reason which I just noticed lol.
Hi Leah! What does it mean when a writers words are like VERY above the bottom blue lines on ruled paper?

Late to the video but for curiosity's sake would rotating the paper affect slant? Because I naturally write with the paper slanted anywhere from like 45° to basically parallel to the table edge

Ohhh a lot. For the most part its the same as a print "I", but there are some more traits that you can get out of cursive "I"s, but they are pretty controversial and I find them a bit less reliable so I didn't include it in the vid
Look at how they hold the pen. Do they hold it correctly with the pen lightly pinched between the index finger and thumb, resting on the middle finger? Or do they hold it wrong with the thumb wrapped over the pen and index finger causing the index finger to do all the work and stiff because the wrist is locked? I’m sure that makes a difference in the writing and how it’s written.
I’ve got a question, if an M has a high first bump but the second is drastically lower, what does that indicate?

What if your handwring is compressed and fluid? (not both at the same time but as in i sometimes write compressed and sometimes fluid)
So far looking at my own handwriting: 1. Angles/curves I have a LOT of angles in my writing, but with some curves hiding. like w, n, e, m and s are all really round, while o, d, b, g, a and p are very angular. O being the worst as it is almost pointy. 2. Distortions My handwriting is mixed tangled and untangled. no odd distortions. 3. Line quality. My lines are quite firm, borderline too much. 4. Slant. Mixed. Sentences have slanted back, straight and slanted forward. 5. Personal pronoun I Always lowercase. 6. Opinions. i don’t write about my feelings. Because when i do, it becomes illegible. Pretty much doctors handwriting. 7. Legibility. Crows feet, but legible. i mainly write notes or learning material for myself. 8/9. Letter specifics (i, k and t) i dots: high, slightly ahead and occasionally slashed. random capital K: no random K T bars: low, long and curved connection to the bottom. 10: Signatures. I’ll have to check the video xD my signature is vastly different from my handwriting.
6:49 i litterally put my "i" dot right above my "i" like the 5th "i" sample from leahhh, sometimes, the dot connects with the letter and people think i don't dot my "i"
I don't know I'd anyone's asked this before but what does it mean when capital I'm and J's don't have the line on top to show its a uppercase in handwriting? Because for me my lowercase i's have no dot so my L's and is look the same Also I don't know if this is one of those weird line connections but i often write my t's (lowercase) almost like an r but the up and down line is higher if that makes sense does that say something or is it something just in the group of letter connecting?
