come closer i guess you come closer okay so i'm gonna be analyzing some subscriber handwritings
i haven't done this in a while because people who leave comments leave like very very good
suggestions i'll just put off these subscriber analyses but here we are also i broke my normal
chair so we're using the green chair i broke it i wanted to do this with like no prep beforehand so
you kind of see my process of like when i'm first introduced with a handwriting sample
no prep that's not because i'm lazy that's it's intentional i'm a little lazy but i'm
okay okay let's start the recreation the screen recording handwriting
for leah we've got 136 willing participants i used to take handwriting from subscribers through
different ways but now currently the best way for me to receive your handwriting is through this
hashtag this way i don't have to pay for storage it just exists on instagram people are like oh
but leah it'll make my instagram feed look so bad i don't know you can like make it look aesthetic
that's up to you you don't have to share with me your handwriting really don't feel compelled to
show me your handwriting if you are not ready for me to look at it with no sensor okay let's
let's look at the first handwriting interesting there's a lot of tangling happening with this one
there's a lot ah i need to stop like zoom stop it okay and this subscriber says i do have adhd
um and each of these pictures were written at different points in time last one being the
most recent first sample from 2019 i see a lot of tangling but i see like big upper zones i see a
slight back slant which is an indicator of someone who's a bit more emotionally withdrawn you see how
there's a lot of like momentum things happening it kind of like loops together with each other this
is how like star formations happen but if it's not like angular if it's not like crazy angular
then it's more of an indicator of momentum and like fluidity of thought rather than aggression
if it's got a lot of spikes so that's how i tell the difference between like distinguishing between
something in the writing that just indicates a person who has like flowing thoughts and
more momentum versus someone who's like aggressive and that's why they're not lifting their pen off
the paper is it angular is it not angular anyways large large lower zones very large lower zones
actually it's really the lower zones that are attributing to all the tangling that's happening
usually when someone someone tells me that they have adhd i take that into account in the back
of my mind but i won't really think about it when analyzing the writing unless i notice like a lot
of indicators of disorganization so like if the writing is like very very messy i will say
what that indicates but i will also preface the analysis saying this could be an indicator of
the writer or this could be more of an indicator of adhd i do have a friend a friend of my brother
my brother was like oh it would be so cool if you got a handwriting sample from him while
he's on meds and while he's off meds but anyways okay this one 2021 the back slant is even more
profound but otherwise like the master pattern is still there and what do i mean by master pattern
like it's something that people who are more professional than i that analyze handwriting
they get asked questions like oh could you be fooled if someone wrote with their left hand
instead of their right hand to like protect their identity or like whatever or like confuse
the detectives when i watched that interview he was like no because the master pattern is still
there what am i talking about anyways 19 we had a slight backslash and some tangling a lot of
like momentum or just struggling with the pen in general 2021 backslash is even more profound
lower zones are even larger but they're not struggling with the pen there's still like
the indicators of momentum but less so what i'm looking at right now is i'm looking at how
this 2021 sample is a lot neater than the 2019 sample what i'm seeing like the changes that this
writer went through is this this writer has become more emotionally reserved or more emotionally
withdrawn than they were before t-bar length is still around the same height lower zones have
gotten arguably they're very similar but they're still really oh there's still so much oh my god
large lower zones it indicates like a big sex drive but also just like just like need for like
material things need for pleasure need for like these survival needs so like i could just like be
simple and say oh this person has a big sex drive but i think it's a little more complex than that i
don't know i'm overthinking it it's in print so this is like an indicator of someone who's like
more around my generation prince is also like an indicator of someone who's more logically
thinking but it's also just a generational trait that people from younger generations write
in print more often okay but leah what are you going to say about this if i had to make
a hypothesis i'm going to hypothesize a traumatic event occurred i'm also going to hypothesize that
the traumatic the traumatic event that occurred forced this person to feel like they need to be
more on top of it and more in control in order to not have stuff like that happen
again or i wonder if they like what what if they got like medicated between 2019 and 2021
and maybe their medication caused them to be less emotionally forward but more organized anyways
something happened between 2019 and 2021 for this person to become uniform more on top of it more
organized but also more emotionally withdrawn i have no idea what but that's what i'm gonna guess
i'm just going to scroll randomly oh this person did it so nice oh my god it's so small come on
you can do it okay here's my handwriting through year 2021 it changes a lot and i want to get my
handwriting analyzed thank you oh by the way these are all school notes the difference between school
notes and like diary notes is school notes you make with the intention of i'm gonna have to read
this again it's also made under the circumstance of i need to write really quickly because
i don't know when the teacher is going to switch to the next slide it depends
what kind of student you are but in general they are more logical diary entries are often
very very raw you'll see a lot more mood changes in diaries because someone's like
literally going through what happened firsthand instead of just writing like mundane things
so you'll see less mood shifts more personality traits then in diaries you'll see more mood shifts
and it'll be harder to gauge the personality that that's what i find at least why can't i i just
want to zoom in this person like clearly organized this so well and here i am struggling it's really
small the baseline is wavy it's very round especially in it's like prince but it's like uh
overall like the size is just very small what i guess about this person is i guess that this
person has like really good attention to detail skills is humble like does not feel the need to
take up space in the room and be like hello hello my name is leah but is just like a very quite
confident presence the bass line is wavy so this person that's like an evidence of being a student
i know this is literally them telling me these are student notes but like having like a gently
wavy bass line it's a sign of like figuring it out like you're not totally on top of it emotionally
but you're not like off the charts either also this writing is pretty round and for the most
part it's middle zone dominant all of these are indicators to me that the writer's a student
regardless of if these are like student notes this is not in english which is totally fine
people ask all the time like leah i write in this other language how do i
analyze handwriting like that well you're gonna find regional differences so watch out for that
also if you're writing in a language that's not your first language unless you're so good at that
second language that it feels like it could be a first language you're gonna notice your writing is
more cautious you're gonna notice there's probably more space in between words or there's more
variation in space between words that indicates thinking you know you're thinking what is the
right word to use you're like translating in your minds trying to pick out the best words to use i'm
getting really side attracted anyways people ask all the time leah i don't write in english i write
in german i write in whatever language watch out for regional differences but overall a lot of the
traits will carry over i've analyzed people's writing in different languages before and i've
told them what hypothesis i would make all the time they're like yes spot on i know that's not
like a scientific answer that's more of like an experience answer but in my experience handwriting
concepts are pretty universal anyways what was i going to talk about there's not like a
huge difference actually between june and october it's definitely all pretty small
february the most there's the most crossing out of words crossing out words with heavy lines is
an indicator of frustration and unhappiness but i think this is more just like correcting themselves
is october a different person writing has gotten a lot rounder than what it was a lot rounder
and a lot more middle zone dominant pressures also change but the g formation you see the g
formation there's a couple examples of it where like it goes down that's an indicator of fear of
success it's not my favorite letter specific trait because it feels kind of vague also the few times
that i have asked people like hey you have this fear of success trait oftentimes they'll say no
of course they could be in denial but whatever why is october literally a different person i
literally think october is a different person but if it's not a different person i'd say this person
has become more absorbed in their present day life because you see the the middle zone has inflated
having really inflated middle zones basically means you're really stuck in your day-to-day
existence like you can't think about the future you can't satisfy your your pleasures and and your
like survival sexual like pleasure needs you're really just stuck in your day-to-day life so i
wonder if in october they this person got super trapped in their day-to-day life so much so that
they kind of had to give up on not necessarily give give up but put off future thoughts and put
off like having fun and need for like material things and sexual things like i wonder if
if october they really had to like hunker down and like study and just like get through the day that
would be my hypothesis because really like the only things that have changed is zone placement
ooh what is this my handwriting me on a good day okay okay back slant all caps but not like
particularly angular me on an okay handwriting day upper and lower case kind of middle zone
dawn it's still got that back slant although it's print it still has like these arcaded like curvy
like round me on a normal day just trying to write things down so it's tricky when
trying to analyze writing samples of someone trying to demonstrate their handwriting because
like ideally they're telling the truth but they also might be in denial about certain things okay
what do i say about this very crayons also like this is what i would call like an unstable slant
um people ask all the time they're like my slant changes all the time regardless of if a
mood change happens that indicates like moodiness instability like also like the ability to relate
to introverts as well as extroverts but also just being emotionally unsettled the middle zone is
kind of all over the place also it's got like some immaturity immaturity that's a strong word
but we're going to use it for now because i can't think of a better word where like it's super round
like these super round a super round d super round og the lazy dog you see it's pretty apparent there
so like more round writing is an indicator of immaturity also i see like the colons are circles
although they don't do that over the eye dots it's kind of the same trait it's interesting the slant
gets even more retracted the more they write like if you see quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog wow i didn't even realize how long it's been i can see this person is like getting embarrassed
over their writing they're trying to write up and down they're trying to write up and down and then
it slowly gets even more back slanted and then it's super backslanted and then they're like
wow i didn't even realize and it's then it's like completely reclined it's almost like you
see the progression of how this person is getting even more embarrassed like the more they write
they're like oh god my writing's really like that oh god my writing's really like that like a very
like situational thing that's happening of this person being embarrassed of their own writing
and that's why it can be kind of like tricky when analyzing the writing of someone who's
thinking about their writing because you see how self-conscious they are um meow hello
you haven't been in a couple videos do you want to say hi to people say hi to them
can you say hi to them they love you but yeah anyways that's an example of them just being
self-conscious of how they're writing that's so cute oh yeah okay so i see that the the all caps
is a shift that was made for legibility reasons um and i'm wondering if they have uh some sort of
like learning disability like like i don't want to diagnose anyone but oftentimes like people who
have really illegible handwriting due to some sort of disability they'll be told by someone
oh maybe you want to switch to writing in all caps or something to make it more legible i'll
talk more about all caps some people are like oh like don't engineers and like architects
and other people don't those guys or gals right in all caps because of their training yes the
difference is you kind of have to look at how the traits stack up like i'll show some images of what
um engineer slash architect slash draftsman's writing actually looks like and you can see that
it's pretty different in its rhythm than this all caps this all caps was not done
because this person has a design background so yes all caps writing can happen if someone has
a design background if you're looking to see if someone has a design background you kind of
look for indicators of precision logical thinking intentional angles it's easier to see than
explain but yeah you can see that those all caps writings are very different from this
all caps writings this all caps writing was done to improve legibility rather than due to
some sort of like formal training anyways what sort of hypothesis would i make i wonder if this
person has a learning disability i'd assume this person is a student i'm assuming this person is
embarrassed about their handwriting that's probably also why they switched to
all caps as well because they're embarrassed of their handwriting because their regular
handwriting with the wavy bass line that shows like emotional ungroundedness that compress
uniform middle zones that indicates like so being socially unpredictable cramped letter formations
that means like this person is tense and uptight i see one defensive d do we have any other ones
i don't know where the other one is hi why can't you just be independent hi there miss leah i love
your videos honestly you are now the reason i have another overanalyzing hobby i also wonder
if you could guess my age just by my writing yeah let's let's do a fun guess so i said this person
is probably a student so okay so this person is embarrassed and that's why they changed their
handwriting you're generally more self-conscious in middle school and high school i think this has
nothing to do with like handwriting analysis this is just me making a deduction based on
the handwriting so in the handwriting i noticed being embarrassed being self-conscious i know
some immaturity traits mainly just because of like the roundness when you see where they write
circles it's like pretty round also like the ba the bass line is in general wavy so the person's
growing up okay okay leah just make a guess it's in general backslash or an unstable science so
this person has gone through something we're gonna do some math taking deductions i'm gonna be off
but we're gonna try anyways so i'm gonna guess they're either in middle school or high school
they could be in college but generally you're more self-conscious in middle school or high school
would the safest bet to be to guess in between 12 and 18 what's in between 12 and 18 i have to
do math 15 are you 15 analytics say you're 15. but do i agree with that this person's also defensive
defensiveness is more of a high school thing than a middle school thing oh this person has big k's
okay i see one big k another kind of big k so now we have two indicators of defensiveness so
that leads me to think you're more in high school 15 that's a freshman in high school okay so i'm
gonna guess you're not in middle school you're in high school watch me be totally off but maybe like
with those immaturity traits maybe you are on the younger side of high school so either 15 or 16.
maybe you're 16 and a half but if we count some of the immaturity trades maybe that'll dock you half
a point but maybe you are 16. okay i think the person is 16 16. if i could bet money i will bet
16. let's ask this person where'd they go where'd they go where'd they go where'd it go
editing leo will figure it out dang i wish i could analyze more but i've already been
here for 45 minutes just rambling so let me know if you like casual videos like this or
if you prefer a more structured video i kind of like having a mix of both alright thank you bye
