Man, Barry Has Some Nice Handwriting:

President Obama's recent letter to the people of Norway:

I like italic better, but his plate is full at the moment. But that paper in primo!

[SlipyNaricis2112]

It's certainly straight.

[spiv]

That is a good hand, thanks for linking... but Mr. Smith is right - the man needs a stub, at least.

[meowmda]

Pretty good for a lefty (ducks)

 

I think it looks really good. Plenty of character, and still legible.

[beak]

Pleasantly surprised by this - not what I was expecting at all. Very neat and honest-looking script, IMO.

 

I don't go along with the claims of graphologists at all, but I think there's no denying that our handwriting does cause an impression to be formed about the writer. Unfortunately, that impression could be quite false - though I don't mean in this case, just generally. I think this handwriting makes a very good impression.

[ethernautrix]

Oo, I think his handwriting is lovely. Very pleasant to look at.

[Yuki Onitsura]

That's quite nice. Very clean.

And Norway was among the safest countries in the world. Really a pity. I fancy living in Norway someday.

 

I love the hand, seen it once before. If you stubbified that...

[WendyNC]

It is a nice hand--can you imagine how it would look if we could get him to quit with the rollerballs and convert to using real pens, as we do?

[WhiskeyMan]

It looks nice and legible. However, I am also left with the impression that it is immature, naive, and indecisive.

 

This has nothing to do with my opinion of him or politics in general, just the hand.

Interesting. I don't see that at all.

 

Can you point to the specific qualities of the script that give you these impressions?

Equal letter sizing, very open loops, and sometimes thread-like letter connections.

 

What do you see?

I noticed the regularity and open loops. But they gave me an impression of constancy and friendliness!

 

I didn't notice the thread-like connections. Are they what suggested indecisiveness?

[beak]

....... the impression that it is immature, naive, and indecisive.

I also find your take interesting. Is the impression intuitive and personal, or is it based on any standard (textbook) graphology principles?

I find your observations very interesting. And the reasoning for arriving at the conculsions.

This writing looks very similar to that of my wife of 35 years. She is anything but immature and indecisive!

This comes from observation, some reading, and some things someone told me once. I'm not a graphologist, so I'm not going to defend myself too much.

 

The thread connections aren't actually that prevalent here, but from what I've read, they indicate indecisiveness. I've never really observed it, so I can't really stand by it. I see what you mean, DA by the the loops, but they are so round, and combined with the relatively short letters, they seem to indicate something else as well. I definitely agree with you though that the regularity and loops show friendliness and honesty.

 

The thing that made the biggest impression on me was the letter sizing and height. It's small which is un-leaderlike. Also, the letters that are all the same height, like I mentioned before, show a lot.

I see an optimist who is thoughtful/analytical. High Determination.

 

I think this person is secretive, and prefers (or maybe just ends up in) isolation. Perhaps likes to work alone? Doesn't care much for the opinions of others as he is more focused on his own. Not incapable of dealing with other people, but puts on a certain face and covers up what is most personally important.

 

I'm not sure on this one, but I think there may be issues with discipline.

 

Just speculation.
