Handwriting Analyses claim to be accurate; MBTI sounds very accurate, so are they compatible?
There are several tests that we can do, and I'll leave it up to you which one to take, but personally, I took the Tickle one.

If you can show some samples of your writing or signature, then all the better :) Here's mine, by the way.

The top part is blacked out because my French teacher taught me a cuss word, and I copied it *grin* I don't want to go around teaching others.
This is what my signature would look like, except I wrote it after I did the 'Love Language' test, so... :thinking:

The Analysis said I'm:
-Future-oriented
-Organized and orderly
-Stable emotions and behavior
-Appearance-Conscious
-Healthy relationship with past
-Adaptable, flexible and have a healthy relationship with future
-Planning
-Orderly but spontaneous: Sounds about right.
-Orderly but open-minded
-Consistent with clear intelligence (?)
-Passive, gentle and calm
-Introvert
-Guarded and potentially deceitful
-Need for change
-Less indirect and less efficient
-Tender and sympathetic (WHAT?)
-Highly logical, unlikely to procrastinate
-Public behavior is nothing like true nature
-Self-confident
-Want to simutaneously communicate but hide true self
And the rest are like 'blahblahblah'. Can't be bothered to post them all.

My result was "Orderly."
I am irritated when people expect me to decipher their bad handwriting, I always try to be neat (except when signing my signature, which I do really fast and sloppily, since it doesn't matter).
Did you have to pay for the full results?
I've done one of these tests and the results were more or less applicable. However, I do believe that the statements are merely so general that they can more or less apply to everyone.
Maybe I'll get samples of my writing up tonight. No chance you're getting a sample of my signature though. Who knows what some random internet surfer can do with that :suspicious:
Side note:
I have horrible handwriting for the most part, but I'm capable of writing quite neatly as well. There just isn't always a need to, and it's much faster when I write carelessly.
I'm also quite good at deciphering bad writing.

Your handwriting reveals that you are Clear-headed
Your writing style reflects that you don't get confused easily; instead you manage to keep your wits about you most of the time. Is it your paragraph style, the pressure of your writing, or your left margin that gives you away?
(which is very odd, because my handwriting is absolutely atrocious)

My handwriting is chaotic. I'm the only person who can read it. :/ And I got Clear-headed too. My teachers say the reason for my chaotic handwriting is because of a mess in my head?

i've read up on handwriting analysis before... it seems pretty accurate when done professionally.
to be honest, some of the most loony-tunes wacko people i know have beautiful, flawless script. they put a LOT of effort into it. of course, they are all narcissists as well. its probably some sort of compensation.
i spent years learning lettering for architectural studies, and i never (nope!) learned how to write in cursive (i refused on the grounds that it was illogical and pointless since i already knew how to write). So my handwriting is a really odd mix of capital letters, scripted first letters, and squiggles only i can read in between. i go back and forth between lettering and squiggles in the same sentence frequently. i can't write for more than a minute or two without getting severe hand cramps - and i have a permanent callous on my hand because of years of drawing and how hard i hold the pen. i can't even use pencils - i break the lead constantly.
but yeah - some of the craziest people i know have the prettiest handwriting.

Balanced:
Your writing style reflects that you're an even-tempered person who fits in with others. Is it your baseline, your slant, or the pressure of your writing that gives you away?
I guess so...
I write sloppy when I'm taking notes but I write really neat when I write an essay or my signature.

Orderly
Your writing style reflects that you like things to be neat and orderly, and that you generally follow the rules necessary to keep things clear. Is it your signature, your line spacing, or your style of indenting that gives you away?
I haven't used handwriting other than signature in years (I used to print it, now I make it as illegible as possible). I just don't like handwriting it's generally, messy, cramped and so many weird strokes, and weird with the 'n' and 'm'.
A random section from notes I took today. Apparently when I run out of line paper, it doesn't look as good.

No. I wouldn't even if I had to. I'm not too sure about how professional they are.

I don't see how this could be terribly accurate. The shape of each letter I write is HIGHLY dependent on the letters around it, especially for the ones with descenders. For instance, my letter "y" looks vastly different in the word "you" and the word "say"...same for my g's, t's...and I have about 3 different versions of the letter "s" based on where they are as well (my handwriting comes in as some printed, some cursive, some a combination of both). Plus, the slant of my handwriting varies day to day as well...
Bah, that's what I say. I think I'd have to have a professional look at it to trust the results.
It gave me a "Balanced" result based on the information I gave it, though.

Mine tells me I'm orderly. My handwriting has gotten so illegible over the years...Especially my signature. You can't distinguish letters aside from the first one on my first and last name.

My handwriting says that I'm "expressive."
I have so much writing but depending on the day it'll look completely different. Most of the time the letters are squished together, though.
They could just go through a list of adjectives and put a random one on for everybody, and nobody would know... hehehe.

I always thought my messy writing - sort of a cross between Arabic and cursive, and sometimes even I can't read it - is was because my brain works much faster than my hand. Sounds as if yours does too.
The people I know with the neatest handwriting usually have the emptiest heads. They're tidy because there isn't much in them.

I have an account, and I can get very basic results, but I thought you meant you got the "full report" that they offer for a fee. Is that what you got, or just the basic stuff? Somehow you were able to get more results on your handwriting test; I was told that I had to make a purchase from one of Tickle's "partners" to get my results.

As for my results:
*Easy going
*Non-conformist
*prefers to be nonactive
*Great self-importance
*Confident
*need to succeed
*enjoys obstacles
*Ambitious
*Aggressive
*High IQ
*high worldliness(i.e. sophistication)
*self-doubting
*slight perfectionist
*worries a lot
*Unhappy
*sleepless
*Under stress
*Would rather be in others company than her own.
Generally it's true. That last one however, is and isn't. I would rather be with one or two people then completely by myself- as I do get bored easily, and if nothing else, I can glare at the other people just to get a reaction.
Beware, if you do, do this test, the results are long and wordy, but very explanatory.

I got "Orderly." Took this test a while ago.
My handwriting is basically rather small but highly legible. I tend to write in caps and small caps. My handwriting was always very neat ever since I was young. I've always gotten compliments from teachers about how my handwriting looked like it came from a computer. And I've always been good at designing logos -- real or imaginary. In fact, I used to design movie studio logos when I was young. And I made sure that the font was more or less like the studio logo.
I have a lot of quirks when I'm writing things by hand. I can never go across the margins on notebook paper. And I also can't have a single word on the last line of a paragraph. When that happens, I need to restructure the sentence so that there can be two major words on the last line. This is the problem I had when taking notes in classes -- I was concerned with the neatness of my writing that I often missed what the teacher was saying. So I eventually gave up on note taking and started doodling in my notebook.

"Orderly" too. My handwriting is very firm, slants strongly to the right, and tends to look like something out of the 19th century. Indeed, I found it rather hard when, in elementary school, teachers basically forced us to use ugly, chunky 20th century "norms" for cursive. In high school, I consciously figured out a cursive system that would work for me: I stole a few capital letter formations from cursive Russian and otherwise selected letter styles that felt "natural," and thus ended up with my current handwriting.

It seems that we're either very neat or very sloppy 0___o So where does mine fall? My handwriting has been said to be either "Very pretty" or "Too small; can't read"
Okay, I honestly intended to get a good sample of my handwriting up here...
But my font differs from day-to-day/hour-to-hour.
It ranges from:
neat, very large and round,
or long and skinny,
or slanted, irregular and loopy,
or small,
or just plain chicken scratch.
When I write neatly characters are usually completely detached from each other. When I write fast some are connected as if written in cursive. It is rare for me to write in complete cursive (with an exception of when I use my fountain pen). It escapes me why there's such a need in any other case.
EDIT:
Old notes... My messy version and my neat version:

My handwriting is horrible. Sometimes i cant even read it. And "reading" my handwriting is really more like "interpreting" it. "That looks like an r. or it could be an n. or a v. but based on the other letters I think its an r." I never study my notes, writing them is usually sufficient to remember the information. Thats probably why my handwriting is so bad. In 7th grade, I used to take notes without ever looking at the paper, just the notes on the projector. It all ran into each other and it rarely stayed on the same line.
edit: In 8th grade we had to write down our science homework because we had agenda checks. I once couldn't read what I'd written on one day, so I just sort of copied the scribble and I got credit!

Your writing style reflects that you're reliable, and it communicates to others that they can depend on you to see things through to the end. Is it your slant, your baseline, or your letter spacing that gives you away?

Haha. That's a good solution, I suppose. Get yourself drunk and the world will understand you... with no problem. My handwriting is inherently very messy and VERY narrow (instead of a big fat loop on the L, or even a normal one, mine would look like a tied up, folded barbed wire. Sometimes, there's no loop at all; because it was so think). I consciously write slower and neater; it's hard, and I know it's not really 'my personality' (therefore my analysis may be skewed), but if that's what my writing looks like, what can I do really?

I saw a documentary recently that some college students are putting together on an experiment in disconnecting from computers. In their post-experiment assessment, one girl, I thought, offered a useful insight, that what she missed most during the experiment was the ease with which computers allow reality to keep up with her brain--in writing, researching, simultaneously creating and gathering new threats of information that allow a line of thought/argument to branch out, and in keeping track of ideas as they come. Computers are lovely things for bright kids, esp. when they are too young to even comfortably hold a writing stick.

This is as accurate as I could remember what my handwriting looked like. The most difficult was the page layout. When was the last time you wrote a whole page?:huh:

Yes, it appears to be down.
Too bad, really.
Years ago I did analyses on the first papers my husband's college English students wrote. I couldn't see the name or any other clues to what the person might be, male, female, native English speaker, Asian, or anything else.
I numbered each of my results and he checked them out after the semester was over.
He said it turned out to be fairly accurate and he thought it was just as well he hadn't read the analyses beforehand. He might've assumed someone was less able than they were and not bothered to challenge them, which would be a pedagogical mistake.
I could've told a lot more if the papers had been written on unlined paper, but that would've been strange for a college paper, and it's not like we planned to do this ahead of time.
btw, my handwriting shows extreme concentration, a leaning to "head" rather than "heart," and some ability at music, and little interest in the mundane, among other things.
I'll decline to say anything about what my handwriting reveals about my sex life currently. :laugh:
