looking at handwriting and spongebob this idea just just made me like so happy it's
absurd so yes today we're going to be looking at some iconic scenes in the nostalgic series
that involves writing in some way and that'll cover everything from spongebob's what not to
do at a stop sign essay to doodle bob himself so please sit down relax get coffee get get
your cat press the like button also subscribe i put a lot of love and care into my videos
and subscribing is free so let's look at the writing roll the clip
"hehhe this'll scare him."
"OHHHH!!"
"oh my gosh a floating shopping list!"
oh yes the iconic floating shopping list i have it pulled up on my laptop so these are only a few words and my preference is having minimum two to three
sentences some graphologists prefer more but in general the more writing samples an analyst has
the more accurate the analysis is going to be so three words eeeeehh-another reason this is a harder
sample to analyze is because it's in all caps if you want to hear me talk more extensively on all
caps you can check out the tyler the creator video but to give you the super condensed
reason why all caps isn't the best to analyze is because it hides a lot of traits a huge part
of handwriting analysis is looking at zone placement so if a writer writes in all caps
zone is completely hidden in addition to the all caps limiting what we can see the writing is also
disconnected meaning the pen lifts in between each letter so we won't be able to say anything about
lead-ins or connecting strokes either so that's a lot of information we don't have access to so
most handwriting analysts wouldn't even bother analyzing this sample but i mean i i like a little
challenge so i'll give it a chance at least before moving on to a more graphology friendly sample
so i talked a lot about what we don't have and in my experience i find generally when you have
a sample of writing that hides a lot of traits like this one does it usually means the writer
is hiding something too like they're being guarded and less spontaneous out of fear to not give too
much away writing disconnected and slow like this lacks spontaneity so it suggests the writer is
being more cautious and has something to hide this writing most likely belongs to the animator so
i think it would make sense for whoever is writing their writing in the cartoon that
they would make their writing as non-telling as possible like even though most people don't know
a lot about graphology or handwriting analysis we all know that some people have very distinct
handwriting and i can imagine that whoever is writing this is thinking oh i don't want my
writing to distract from the story or in this case the punch line so i'm going to write in the most
non-distracting non-descript most cautious way i know how to all caps and disconnected because
imagine if someone who wrote like this wrote the shopping list for example or let's say the
animator wrote like this so for this what's my analysis i'd say the writer is trying to hide
their true colors and you might be thinking that was a cop-out answer and i guess it kind of is
but every other telling aspect of the writing is more for the sake of telling the story
like the pressure is heavy and the size is large but that's more for the sake of legibility and so
the joke can actually land but i suppose for fun i could tell you what the size and pressure would
indicate because it is kind of comical it's like if i were to make this prop irl show you a clip
of what it would actually look like as you can probably guess it's very abnormal for a person's
writing to fill up the entire page like this when a person writes super large sometimes it's because
it's easier to read sometimes it's because it's easier to write if it's not either of these two
exceptions then what that would indicate to me is a writer who feels this huge need to take up
space in a room someone who has like a very large and exaggerated personality and notice how there's
barely any space left on the page for anything else similarly people who write like this feel the
need to take up space for themselves they don't leave room for others they also often overstep
boundaries they place a lot of importance on their own actions and they're oftentimes writing super
big to compensate for these inner insecurities and feelings of smallness so that's large writing
next i'll talk about the heavy pressure heavy pressure would indicate someone who's
very passionate and determined and puts a lot of energy into their work but also someone
who's very headstrong stubborn and potentially violent as well like if pressure is generally
just strong and firm it would indicate the writer is dynamic determined a bit forceful
but in general they have good leadership qualities but when the pressure is so heavy that it's like
ripping the page when you cross out t's or cross out a word when the pressure is that heavy then
it's more of an indicator of frustration and violent tendencies than those leadership qualities
but again in the context of this writing sample i think these decisions were made intentionally
for the sake of legibility and i think they most likely don't describe the animator or mr krabs so
i'd say these traits are irrelevant but those are the traits that are stacking up sound good? next sample.
"there""fantastic let me see it" "no wait I changed my mind i can do this i can do this
is it hot in here mrs. Puff? ah my hand my hand is cramping mrs puff "you only need three more words!"
what i learned from boating school is..." so this one is very very interesting to me
because the writing has a lot more character to it than the concealing mr crabs list so i get a
little more to work with i'll talk about the mix of all caps and lowercase first so i've learned a
few more things since the last time i talked about this and i'll tell you writing in a mix of all
caps and lowercase will indicate different things about the writer depending on the writer's age
in children it's actually a sign of rebellion of course it doesn't mean rebellion if they
just learned how to write like yesterday and they're still figuring it out but like
after they have it figured out and they've been taught how to write if they're writing
in a mix of all caps and lowercase it's a sign of rebellion and the logic behind that trait
is because they're rebelling against how their teacher is telling them to write and form letters
and do things so often they'll rebel in other ways too however if they carry it into adulthood it's a
little different if you're an adult who had this writing pattern as a kid it usually gets beaten
out of you like socially and only the letters that you can get away with keeping large will stay at
large like k's and s's so if you notice an adult in your life that has these large k's and s's in
their writing where it's supposed to be lowercase this would indicate someone who is rebellious
and rebellious i know that's kind of a subjective term but what i mean is like rebelling against
like authority figures the police your boss whatever but if you're an adult who writes at
a true mix of all caps and lowercase not just k's and s's and that's like the norm of how you write
it indicates instability not being in your right mind being in a heightened mood just like a very
intense ungrounded unstable person i see this trait show up most often when a writer is on
drugs or drunk or something because yeah it's just a very unstable and grounded way to write so if an
adult writes in a mix like this normally like this is the standard way that they write they're most
likely a pretty unstable person another thing i see is words that are crossed out with heavy lines
this is an indicator of unhappiness also he's got a lowercase personal pronoun i instead of
a capital which is another sign of unhappiness and just self-esteem issues in general anyone
confused about that trait if say your first language is in english and you're like wait
what isn't the personal pronoun i always supposed to be capital like isn't that like a grammatical
rule- i gave you food- isn't the personal pronoun i supposed to be capitalized regardless like isn't
this just a grammar mistake yes grammatically speaking the personal pronoun i is supposed to
always be capitalized that is if the writer is obeying grammatical rules so when you see
a writer who knows that rule of grammar and they exhibit this trait it really tells you something
about that person's self-esteem when they break a grammatical rule to write a letter that represents
themselves with something that is smaller than what it's grammatically supposed to be it just
tells you a lot about their self-esteem that was so wordy i wish i knew how to explain that better
but what i'm looking at next is check it out there are some drawings on this page and i'm not going
to go too deep into how to analyze drawings on this sample at least i'm busy i want to save
that for doodlebob but i will just say yes you can analyze drawings using the same rules that we use
for analyzing handwriting like a lot of the letter specific rules and zone rules won't apply but
pressure down strokes angularity roundness size uniformity x formations those still all apply
and that's why i mentioned the crossing out with heavy line straight even though i think he was
crossing out a drawing because it's the same trait as if you were crossing out a word when you cross
something out with heavy lines it's an indicator of unhappiness so that was a pretty long winding
analysis on this little sample but yeah okay next sample "
"okay mr essay i say prepare w written"
i'm doing it i'm doing
yeah and some of these--
and some of these
almost there.. and.. done :D
now let's see how it looks so
far "the"...
the infamous essay episode yay oh my gosh
i was so terrified and fascinated by this episode as a child
it's like this dark alice in wonderland beautiful work of art masterpiece
but yeah let's talk about the writing uh so i already covered large writing in this video as i said it's like
a compensation for inner feelings of smallness so how about instead let's talk about what heavily decorated writing means i'll show you some more realistic examples
of what heavily decorated writing looks like in real life people with heavily decorated writing
are similar to people who write large and that they are more comfortable taking up space in a
room but people with more decorated writing are also a lot more performative in their personality
MEOW they are very theatrical some graphologists would describe them as gaudy or having bad taste
i don't like being that insulting when describing a writer because i think you should always
err on the side of being very respectful to the person who offered you their writing to
analyze but given that i prefer to say that people who write more stylized and decorated
like this i describe them as being more comfortable performing than they are just
simply being like they don't realize that they don't need to put on this character
to be interesting like you're cool you're cool you're interesting just just being yourself but
anyways that's what heavily decorated writing means in this context this isn't spongebob's
normal writing he's just writing like this because that's the punchline he's writing
super decoratedly to hide the fact that he has nothing to say but yeah that's what i'll say about
that sample next and final sample we're gonna look at doodlebob" this'll be the ultimate prank i'll
draw me and when squidward answers the door it won't be me"
ah look at him all he needs is a tie
i was so scared of him as a kid like this episode was kind of a horror film to my six-year-old brain
i was so terrified of doodlebob but anyways i mentioned that in addition to analyzing
someone's handwriting you can also analyze a person's drawings and we've never really
done that on my channel before so here we are trying something new look at her
but yeah i don't have the most experience analyzing drawings i'm mainly just analyze
handwriting but let's give it our best shot and we're better to start off than doodlebob
so i'll first talk about the line quality it's heavy pressure which we talked about so dynamic
determined also forceful potentially violent but next notice the line quality is a bit shaky
so shakiness in writing is usually an indicator of some sort of illness if it's
psychological the shakiness usually happens when writing particularly emotional sentences
and in physical illness the shakiness is more consistent throughout but sometimes shakiness
can also happen from from overly tense muscles trying to make the writing super super neat so
that's what i generally have to say about shaky writing and shaky line quality but then again
these traits are all assuming that the writer or artist in this case is an adult and spongebob is
kind of a kid even though he's like technically an adult so i know the animators were just trying
to make the drawing more childlike so that's why they did the shakiness so i mean i i don't know
take my shaky traits how you will we can try to talk a little bit about uniformity if you saw
last week's video you know that the less uniform someone's writing is the more chaotic the writer
so how would you apply this to a drawing well i mean the eyes are very different from each other
so i'd call that an example of non-uniformity so that'd be an indicator of more chaotic writing but
yeah i think the doodlebob characters reflected pretty well in the doodlebob drawing
like like it's kind of trippy the more i think about it like the more i think about analyzing
doodlebob i'm analyzing spongebob but the traits are more reflective of the character doodlebob but
also i'm keeping in mind that all of this was drawn by the animator so like what the f***
i'm starting to confuse myself anyways we tried analyzing drawings today i think we should just
stick to handwriting but that was pretty fun all right i love you thank you bye subscribe
