what about handwriting? what can it tell you?

taking notes while sitting in class the other day i got to thinking... why is my handwriting totally different than the class time before? i couldn't figure out why my handwriting from that monday was so different than that of Wednesday's. monday's was very small and square looking... very neat and put together. all of my bullet points were in an exact line and all of my notes were very succinct. but... wednesday's were a little different. they had a "right slant" to them and they were much more "cursive like"... they had a flow to them that didn't make them as neat as monday's even though they weren't messy at all. i don't remember having to write faster on wednesday than on monday but i might have just been in more of a relaxed mood. i might have been more tired? i did some research and here is what i found (http://www.viewzone.com/handwriting.html) "When analyzing writing style, first look at the handwriting in general, much like you would a painting. Make mental notes of the most outstanding traits and try to get a general feeling of the writer. (After 20 years of experience I can usually put the writer in a category right away.) Then, determine the emotional energy of the writer. This is the most important factor of the personality of the writer. The emotional energy has a direct impact on every other trait displayed in the handwriting. Emotional energy is determined by how much pressure the writer uses when he writes. If you examine the writing you can determine how much pressure was used by how "dark" the writing is. Also, if you turn the page over and feel the underside you can feel how much pressure was used (especially if the sample was written on a soft surface)."



the website then went on to say: "The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writers emotional response to external forces. A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. They are caring, warm and outgoing-- their heart rules their mind. A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep their emotions in check-- mind rules their heart. A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal their emotions and is observed as cold and indifferent." I thought that all of this was really interesting because although i noticed the difference a lot, i never really did anything to figure out what caused the difference. does this ever happen to any of you?
