Hi Terry! Thanks for the analysis, which is very accurate. I've already shown some of my colleagues and friends and they're all in agreement about my "defiant streak" - it seems to be a well known and accepted trademark of my personality!
I only have one criticism; in your final paragraph you say"(I might add that you appear to be a very intelligent person)". I just thought that you would have mentioned that right up front in your analysis! No, seriously, thanks once again and hopefully I'll be able to make use of your services at some stage.
Best regards, Andrea South Africa

**** GUEST ARTICLE ****
Introduction. If you have read my best selling book "The Secrets To Making Love Happen" (http://myhandwriting.com/booksetc/index.html) you have been introduced to the form of psychology called NLP (neuro linguistic programming.) If you have not heard of NLP, it the evolution of hypnosis combined with body language and lot's of self-improvement techniques. Basically, it is a set of "tools" that assist people in making fast and permanent change in one's or the client's lives. NLP is the foundation of what Anthony Robbins based his first book "Unlimited Power" on. If you want to read more about NLP, read "Frogs Into Princesses" by Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP)
I have used NLP in my own life since 1990. It has effected both my relationships and business in powerful ways. If you are single, I highly recommend you check out the NLP course I wrote for single people. http://www.myhandwriting.com/change/sexchem.html
Below is an article written by Stan Levin, a graduate student of HandwritingUniversity.com He is discussing how the psychological fields of handwriting analysis and NLP can be utilized together. Enjoy.
*** NLP and Graphology (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) ***
By Stan Levin, Guest Columnist
We tend to think of the subconscious mind as being below the level of alert cognition; it tends to be mysterious, even to the individual about the inner workings and motives of his or her own mind. It turns out that the subconscious is not as deep and inscrutable as one would believe.
In fact, an individual's subconscious makes its presence known every waking minute. The problem for most people is that we do not have the biofeedback mechanisms to connect to our own subconscious. Or do we?
Individuals trained in graphology will describe the skill as "brain writing." It is an accurate depiction of one's emotional state at the time one provides the exemplar.
Anger, hostility, sadness, joy, happiness, introversion, extroversion, honesty and dishonesty, self-esteem, depth of feeling, forward thinking or reticence, jealousy, determination, and stubbornness are among the many qualities of a writer at the time he or she provides a sample. With training, one can get in touch with one's own sense of the moment. In fact, for experienced graphologists, one runs the risk of analyzing one's own handwriting as one actually commits writing to paper.
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a direct pipeline to the subconscious mind. People are totally unaware that their eye scans indicate if they are visually-, aurally-, or kinesthetically-oriented. They are also not aware that the direction of their eye scans will let an observer know that they are lying or telling the truth, inventing or recalling. The study of NLP includes observing people's breathing patterns, body posture, and gestures, and how to get into rapport my mirroring or mimicking. However, for the purpose of this article, the discussion will be limited to eye-scans and their relation to zones in handwriting.
There are three zones in which a letter can fall: upper (philosophical), middle (mundane), and lower (material). The English alphabet has lower case letters that either remain in the middle zone (e.g., a, c, e, i, m, n, o, r, s, u, v, w, x), ascend into the upper zone (b, d, h, k, l, t), or descend into the lower zone (g, j, p, q, y, z,). The only lower-case letter that covers all three zones is f. In totally balanced, well-organized people, the zones are all equally weighted; ascenders and descenders are the same size as the middle zone. Otherwise, most writers show a preference by oversizing and undersizing zones. Writers with large upper zone characters tend to be thinkers, dreamers, and people who argue from the point of logic and rationalization. Writers with large lower zone characters tend to be into money, power, sex, and deep feelings. Those who write in the middle zone tend to be "do-ers," living in the here-and-now.
In Freudian terms, the upper zone is the super-ego, middle zone is the ego, and lower zone is the id. It is my hypothesis that these zones also reflect visually learners, audio learners, and kinesthetic learners, respectively, which, in turn, manifest in NLP-identified eye movements.
To relate writing zones with eye scans, imagine the eye as a face of a clock. If people tend to look towards the 10:00 or 2:00 position, they tend to be visual learners. If they look towards the 9:00 or 3:00 position, that corresponds to aural learners. And eyes lowered to the 8:00 or 4:00 position relates to feelings about the subject at hand, and, therefore, kinesthetic learning. Very often in eye-scanning, a person's eyes will dart in a variety of directions, however, one may be dominant. And that may be reflected in his or her zone preference.
Anecdotally, there is data about the school teacher who during a spelling bee will note that a student looks up; the teacher says, "No, the answer is not on the ceiling. Look at me and spell the word correctly." The student freezes and cannot spell anything. The teacher is missing the point; for that student, the answer is indeed on the ceiling and he or she is trying to visual the shape of the letters. By forcing the student to look straight ahead, the teacher is misdirecting the native instincts of the student into an area in which he or she may never find an answer.
For writers who live with their feelings, there tends to be a correlation of the number of times in which they look down as they describe an event and the imagination and emphasis they put in their lower zones. Talkers tend to be middle zone writers, with their eyes moving left and right in the same plane as their ear canals. And people who respond to visual imagery, who tend to look upwards as they recall an event, tend to be upper zone writers.
Individuals will communicate through their language if they are eye, ear, or "feeling" people. They will say words like "I see what you mean" and "I imagine that" to indicate visual orientation; "I hear you" and "Sounds good to me" indicate aural; "I feel that" or "It hurts me to tell you" or President Clinton's pet phrase, "I feel your pain" indicate kinesthetics.
There are enough data to demonstrate the relationship between the use of language and the orientation of the eye scan. Right now my data are anecdotal about the relationship between eye scan and zones. However, the data that I have are compelling. By observation, I have noted that movie stars and major athletes tend to have large lower zones (other than their initial capital letters of their names which tend to be very exaggerated). Watch them on TV interview shows, they tend to look down as they respond to hosts questions.
Pop psychologists misinterpret this pattern as inherent shyness. Astronauts and professors tend to have large upper zones. On interviews and talk shows, they tend to look upwards. Oddly enough, teenage girls tend to have large middle zones, and they tend to be influenced by what they hear and say. Their eyes dart left and right in answering questions; educators attribute this eye movement to their fear of making eye-contact, but I believe that they are listening to their own (or parents') voice before they respond.
Among the reasons I have for writing this article is to collect more information. If readers have, or can make their own observations, please let me know if you can confirm or refute a relationship between writing zones and eye movements. The test is simple: get a writing sample from a subject, then ask the subject to talk about what he or she wrote. Look for the zone of influence in the writing. If the writer is Upper Zone, do the eyes go upwards as if the writer is trying to visualize the paper and content? If the writer is middle zone, does the writer's eyes track left to right as if they are hearing the text? If the writer is lower zone, does his or her eyes look down as if he or she is trying to recall the feelings conveyed in the sample?
If my hypothesis proves to be valid, then a graphologist has additional means of understanding the writer of the subject text, building rapport, and speaking to the writer in terms most comfortable for him or her. In addition, the correlation gives the person with a trained eye another means to raise the subconscious to the conscious level.
