THAT
THAT WAS
THAT WAS LIKE A HAPPINESS COOKIE.
COOKIE.
COOKIE. A
COOKIE. A LOOKED SO GOOD.
>>> SPEAKING OF HAPPINESS,
THERE IS A LOT THAT YOU CAN
TELL ABOUT A PERSONS
HANDWRITING.
HANDWRITING. ARE THEY HAPPY OR SAD?
BOLD?
BOLD?
BOLD? TIMID?
TIMID?
TIMID? IN
TIMID? IN HONOR OF NATIONAL
HANDWRITING DAY CARA IS
EXAMINING OUR PENMANSHIP
SKILLS.
SKILLS.
SKILLS. THAT'S RIGHT NOW IN THINGS, IN
THINGS TO CARA-BOUT.
WE DID HAVE TO DO SOME WRITING
SAMPLES FOR PRODUCER DANIELLE A
COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AFTER THE
MEETING.
MEETING.
MEETING. >> EARLIER IN THE WEEK WE
TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE
GOING BY THE WAYSIDE DUE TO
TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY. PENMANSHIP WAS ONE OF THEM.
I SAY TO THIS, IF WE DID HAVE
PENMANSHIP HOW ARE WE GOING TO
JUDGE EACH OTHER SOLELY BASED
ON OUR PENMANSHIP?
APPARENTLY, YOU ARE FUN AND
EXCITING AND I LEAD A SAD AND
ISOLATED LIFE.
ISOLATED LIFE. >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
>> WELL, WE CAN GET INTO IT.
WE FOUND THIS HANDWRITING
ANALYSIS ON GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A
SAMPLING OF YOUR WRITING AROUND
WE TWEETED IT OUT AT ATL&CO, SO
YOU CAN COMPARE IT AND FIGURE
OUT WHAT YOU ARE AND HOW YOU
MEASURE UP AND SEE IF THAT IS
ACTUALLY WHAT YOU THINK YOU
ARE.
ARE.
ARE. >>
ARE. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. DIVE RIGHT IN.
>> THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO
LOOK AT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR
HANDWRITING.
HANDWRITING. IF YOU WILL SEE ON THE LEFT IS
CHRISTINE AND ON THE RIGHT IS
ME.
ME.
ME. LARGER, YOU ARE A LARGER WRITER
AND I'M A LITTLE BIT SMALLER.
>> BARELY.
>> BARELY. >> THIS IS WHAT THAT MEANS.
THE AMOUNT OF SPACE YOUR
HANDWRITING, [ LAUGHTER ]
>> THE AMOUNT OF SPACE IT TAKES
UP CAN GIVE A LOT OF
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. LARGE HANDWRITING IS THOSE THAT
DON'T MIND BEING SEEN.
SMALL WRITING IS A PERSON WHO
PREFERS TO STAY OUT OF THE
SPOTLIGHT.
SPOTLIGHT. >> I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT THE
SAME.
SAME.
SAME. I
SAME. I MADE THE LOOP ON MY H A
LITTLE BIT HIGHER AND I DID A
BIG OLD LOOP FOR THE C IN
CHERRY.
CHERRY.
CHERRY. >> I THINK YOU HAVE PRETTY
HANDWRITING.
HANDWRITING. I THINK WE ARE ABOUT THE SAME.
>> CHECK YOURS OUT AND SEE IF
EUROS IS LARGER.
IF SO YOU NEED A SHOW OF YOUR
OWN.
OWN.
OWN. >>
OWN. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> THIS IS INTERESTING.
LET'S LOOK AT THE LOWERCASE T.
HERE IS A SAMPLING WE TOOK OF
TREE.
TREE.
TREE. ONCE AGAIN CHRISTINE UNELECTED
MINE ON THE RIGHT.
FAILING TO CROSS YOUR T ALL THE
WAY MEANS YOU COULD INDEED BE,
PERHAPS, A PROCRASTINATOR.
CROSSING YOUR T HIGH ON THE STEM
MEANS YOU SET HIGH GOALS WHILE
LOWER PLACES MEAN THAT YOU CAN
DREAM A LITTLE BIGGER.
MINE IS LOWER, THEREFORE I AM
SAD AND LONELY.
>> THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I SEE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES.
YOU EVEN HAVE LIKE A HAPPY
START TO YOUR LETTER.
>> YOUR LETTERS LOOK LIKE THEY
ARE GOING TO PARTY RIGHT OFF
THE PAGE.
THE PAGE.
THE PAGE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
ALONG WITH MY SPARKLY CLOSE THE
LAST FEW DAYS.
YOU KNOW WHY?
IT'S JANUARY AND WE ARE GOING
TO SPARKLE AND HAVE A BIG OLD T
.
.
. >>
. >> ANNEXING WHERE GOING TO LOOK
AT IS THE LOWERCASE LETTER I.
ME AND YOU BOTH HAVE SIMILAR
LOWERCASE LETTER I. THE HAD US
RIGHT THERE WERE DISTINCT.
>> MIND IS LIKE AN'.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. DANIELLE ANALYZED US AND SAID
WE BOTH HAD HIGH DOTS.
I DO REMEMBER THEM SAYING IF
THEY WERE PLACED A CERTAIN WAY,
PLACEMENT ABOVE THE STEM
REVEALS LOYALTY.
REVEALS LOYALTY. LEFTWARD DOTS INDICATE CAUTION
REVEALS LOYALTY. AND WARD DOTS INDICATE CAUTION
REVEALS LOYALTY. AND STAGNATION. DICATE CAUTION
HIGH AND FREE MARKS MEAN YOU
HAVE BIG IDEAS AND YOU ARE ALSO
IN A HURRY.
TO THE RIGHT MEANS YOU ARE SAD
AND LONELY.
AND LONELY. >> STOP IT, CARA.
STOP.
STOP.
STOP. >>
STOP. >> [ LAUGHTER ]
>> THAT IS NOT TRUE.
DON'T WORRY.
DON'T WORRY. LOOK HOW PRETTY HER WRITING IS.
FIRST OF ALL, MINE LOOKS LIKE
THE WORD SANK. IT LOOKS LIKE
IT', BECAUSE I'M CLEARLY RUSHING
AND I'M A LITTLE PROCRASTINATOR.
BUT, FIXING THAT WITH
TECHNOLOGY AND MY SEMINAR
SATURDAY THANKS TO OPRAH.
>> THANK YOU, OPERA.
SHE HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A
LONG TIME.
LONG TIME. THE NEXT ONE IS SPACING.
THEY LOOK AT THE SPACING
BETWEEN THE LETTERS.
WE HAD TO WRITE A SENSE FOR
THIS ONE.
THIS ONE.
THIS ONE. CAN YOU HAND ME THAT DRINK?
NARROW SPACING SIGNALS A WRITER
WHO IS A LITTLE UPTIGHT.
SPREAD APART SPACING REVEALS
MORE RELAXED PERSONALITIES.
>> I THINK WE BOTH SEEM TO HAVE
A GOOD RELAXED, WE BOTH HAVE A
SIMILAR SPACE BETWEEN OUR
LETTERS.
LETTERS.
LETTERS. >> ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE RELAXED.
YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH. WE
YEAH. WE ARE.
WE ARE.
WE ARE. I
WE ARE. I COULD BARELY GET THROUGH THIS
SEGMENT I'M SO RELAXED
>> I COULD BE A LITTLE MORE
UPTIGHT.
UPTIGHT.
UPTIGHT. >> THE NEXT ONE IS OUR
SIGNATURES.
SIGNATURES. I FORGOT ABOUT THIS.
THOSE ARE OUR SIGNATURES.
WAY.
WAY.
WAY. NUMBERS.
NUMBERS.
NUMBERS. JUST GETTING.
JUST GETTING. THOSE ARE NOT OUR SIGNATURES.
WE DO NOT IDENTIFY AS NUMBERS
>> WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO JUST
NUMBERS?
NUMBERS?
NUMBERS? >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. THIS IS GOOD.
OKAY.
OKAY.
OKAY. NUMBERS.
NUMBERS.
NUMBERS. WE ARE LOOKING AT NUMBERS TWO
SPECIFICALLY.
SPECIFICALLY. I HAVE STRAIGHT TWO AND YOU
HAVE A WILL BE TWO.
TWO WITH NO LOOPS SHOWS SOMEONE
IS GOOD WITH FACTS AND FIGURES.
>> THAT'S YOU.
>> LOOPS MEAN YOU ARE FOOTLOOSE
AND FANCY FREE.
I MADE THAT UP.
>> I MEAN, IT'S INTERESTING, I
DON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER WRITING MY
TWO THAT WAY.
THEY DO LOOK KIND OF A FUN AND
HAPPY.
HAPPY.
HAPPY. DO
HAPPY. DO YOU DO A SEVEN WITH A LINE?
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>
THAT. >> MY GIRLS ASK WHY I PUT THE
LINE IN THE MIDDLE?
>> I DO IT SOMETIMES, BUT
SOMETIMES I DON'T.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW I'M FEELING
THAT THEY.
THAT THEY. >> I ALWAYS DO.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
DOES ANYBODY PUT THE LINE
ACROSS THE SEVEN?
MAYBE IT'S JUST THOSE THAT ARE
35 AND OLDER.
>> IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING
SOMETIMES, YOU DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S ONE OR SEVEN AND YOU JUST
WANT TO BE CLEAR.
>> READY FOR THE SIGNATURE?
THE SIGNATURE THEY HAD US DO --
>> LOOK HOW PRETTY YOU MADE
YOUR NAME.
YOUR NAME. >> THE SIGNATURE BOTH LEGIBLE
ARE NOT TO CRAZILY DIFFERENT.
GRAFT ALLERGISTS THINK OF A
SIGNATURE AS A PUBLIC
EXPRESSION OF ONE'S SELF.
LEGIBILITY INDICATES YOU HAVE
NOTHING TO HIDE WHILE IN THE
SIZABLE SCRIPT IS MEETING YOU
DON'T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT
IS GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD.
ILLEGIBLE SIGNATURE IS VASTLY
DIFFERENT FROM YOUR EVERYDAY
HANDWRITING.
HANDWRITING. AND KNOWS WHO YOU ARE WHAT
YOU'RE HIDING IT FROM OTHERS.
>> INTERESTING.
>> INTERESTING. I WILL SAY, IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE
I MIGHT DO CHRISTINE AND THEN
EVERYTHING BECOMES KIND OF A
LINE.
LINE.
LINE. I
LINE. I WAS FEELING A LITTLE BIT
NEATER THAT DAY, MAYBE BECAUSE
I KNEW I WAS BEING JUDGED.
RIGHT NOW CODE GRAB YOUR
DRIVERS LICENSE.
DRIVERS LICENSE. WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE LOOK
LIKE THEY ARE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE NORMALLY IT JUST
NORMALLY -- WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN?
MEAN?
MEAN? >>
MEAN? >> I DON'T KNOW.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WOULD
WRITE MY NAME DIFFERENTLY ALL
THE TIME . AND THEN IS ACTUALLY
ON MY LICENSE WITH A BIG R. I
HAD A BIG R IN MY NAME.
EVERY TIME I WOULD GO CASH MY
CHECK THEY WILL BE LIKE I NEED
TO SEE YOUR ID.
THEY THOUGHT I WAS NOT WHO I
SAID I WAS BECAUSE OF A R. BE
CAREFUL.
CAREFUL.
CAREFUL. >> WHAT ABOUT THIS?
IN SCHOOL THEY ARE NOT STUDYING
CURSIVE ANYMORE.
CURSIVE ANYMORE. SO, CAROLINE GOES, MOM, I'M
SUPPOSED TO SIGN SOMETHING.
HOW DO I SIGN IT?
WE YOU TEACH ME HOW TO DO
CURSIVE?
CURSIVE?
CURSIVE? >> WHAT?
>> WHAT?
>> WHAT? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. IS A FACT.
