And what can you tell from the sample you get? A whole range of personality traits can be assessed, such as enthusiasm, ambition, imagination, diligence, sincerity, secretiveness, just about everything in fact.

Can you give us some tell-tale clues about the way we write? I'm sure our listeners will all be dying to hear something.

OK, you just write the letter t, not a capital, but an ordinary t, please, Leo. All right. There you are, now what can you tell me from that?

Mm, well, the t you've written, which is more or less straight up and crossed with a diagonal stroke from southwest to northeast, as it were, indicates an optimistic kind of character to me. Would you describe yourself in that way? Mmm, yes, I think so.

Can you describe any other kinds of t for the benefit of our listeners. Yes, of course. If, for example, you had written a t, but crossed it only with a stroke on the left of the vertical stem, which didn't even reach it in fact, that would indicate a procrastinating character, some one who put things off until tomorrow.

Inefficiency can be identified by a t where there are two vertical strokes in the stem, reaching up to a rounded point, and then crossed right through.

Mm, what else can I say? A think cross on the left of the stem, tapering to a point on the right of the stem, tells me that the writer is a sarcastic kind of person.

Another thing is that a very practical sort of person always crosses his t halfway down the letter, whereas a t crossed high up the stem shows a deamer.

The letters m and n are also indicative of personality, depending on whether they are rounded or wedge-shaped. I see, that's most interesting.
