When you write/print, does it slant forwards, backwards, or not at all?

I'm a virgo too.. LOL! I actually like my writing, it's very legible, in fact a lot of people will tell me it's nice, even if it looks sloppy to me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist though, but I've gotten over that enough that I will still do things that are not perfect, I just feel a little stressed if TOO many things are not perfect.

Well like I said, I used to be shy. I would never describe myself as an introvert though, and neither would most of the people who know me, including my husband or my kids. While it's true I don't enjoy drawing undue attention on myself for no reason (and God forbid you smack my butt!) I don't hide in the corner and going out is generally as attractive to me as staying in. I do not recall what the book said about illegible writing EXCEPT that it may be a coping mechanism - if people can't read it, then people will leave you alone rather than try to read it, and then THAT can be used as an excuse not to meet people, etc (that whole - I don't like them.. and they aren't trying to get to know me so they don't like me anyway). Slanting forwards is one of those 'big personality' traits, and also maybe indicates more energy. That was another thing that went hand in hand with being a people person. The small part I thought mean attention to detail, but neatness also means attention to detail. I think there are so many different things at work here, I would need a sample of your handwriting lol!

I am trying to remember what the book said about different directions of slant. I think it had something to do with being adaptable, changing your plans without worrying too much about it.

It is possible that the slant of your writing has to do with how your internal personality is set. I USED to be shy and from time to time in some situations, I am NOT the party girl, even if I can act it. Soo... maybe it is a true barometer of how you are, and many of us just have changed how we act.

The whole analysis thing was interesting to me because when I was younger my writing was completely different than what it was like as I got older. I can almost say it was opposite. I have some samples of writing from when I was probably... 9? 10? It slanted forward, the middle zone was very small, and it was slightly sloppy. Kind of like very small calligraphy but not very neat. Fast forward a couple years, no more slant, large middle zone, overall just larger writing, very curvy, loopy, and very neat... and my pressure deteriorated, I had to stop using pencil because it wrote too light. I don't use two-part checks because I can't write hard enough to leave a receipt lol.
