And now for an interesting book, that might help you decide your 'goals' for the new year!
Synopsis:
How an individual dots his I’s and crosses his T’s is indeed telling. In fact, handwriting can reveal much about how people think, feel and behave – and as this book proves, it can also be a useful tool. The newly released self-help book is published by Outskirts Press.
Known as “brain writing,” handwriting provides a graphic road map of the mind – if one knows how to read the signs. Author David J. DeWitt, a professional graphologist and a certified graphoanalyst, teaches the fundamentals of handwriting analysis to help his students learn about themselves and others. He has spent decades studying, analyzing and interpreting the handwriting of countless individuals, and lecturing publicly on handwriting analysis to organizations, clubs, schools and colleges. He helps people to understand themselves, their personal strengths and yes, even their weaknesses through the way they put pen to paper. This book represents more than eight years of research in applying handwriting analysis to high school and college students across New England.
With this book, DeWitt offers a unique perspective not found in conventional books on graphology by linking handwriting analysis with professional satisfaction, and instructs the reader in the analysis of their own handwriting to help make the best career fit based on personality. Noting that it is common for individuals to labor a lifetime in occupations they dislike, the author offers up the book as a tool anyone can use to guide career choices that, in the end, will be more personally rewarding.
Review:
This was a really neat book! The author gives you a short hitory of handwriting analysis, and then shows you how to use the lessons in the book. Then it delves into different personality traits and how you can choose a profession that is suited to your character, based on your results from the analysis, and how you fall under them. He then adds in emotional responsiveness and thinking skills, to fully flesh out your analysis. He then provides 50 pages of traits and handwriting examples, before helping you to discover YOUR personality and vocational potential, via your own handwriting.
I'm not sure if I was relieved or not surprised by how my analysis turned out! I had the same results when I was in high school and college. Is that a good thing? LOL.You get a sentences that includes ALL the letters of the alphabet and in different sequences, to test your upper and lower loops. How you slant your letters, how you close your loops, even if you stay on the line or connect your letters, tells so many different things about your personality. My sample showed I had investigative Thinking, with ability to be fluid and look at theory behind concept and come up with new ones, along with deciveness, goal orientated, directness, intuitive and organized. All traits that work well in my law enforcement field, as well as blogging. If you are looking for an outlet/hobby or a new career path, simply annalyzing your handwriting can give you personality clues about yourself, that you might not have thought you had, that could lead you to different jobs
