A highly biased and selective look at the college life of Teri

Handwriting analysis

Another meme. It's a pretty good match, though the analysis is rather general -- and thus more likely to be correct, or at least more likely for people to find things that apply -- but a couple of more specific things stick out that are dead on.

Teri has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

Teri is selective when picking friends. She does not trust everyone. She has a select group of people that are truly close to her, usually two or three. She is careful when choosing her inner circle of friends.


These first two appear to contradict themselves, but it's actually pretty much true. Evidently, according to others, I appear to be an open and trusting individual -- but I'm not really. It's hard for me to make friends.

Teri has a need to be physically aggressive. She has this need resulting from some unfulfilled physical drive. This drive could be fulfilled by a very physical sport or a very aggressive sex life.

Okay, that one's just bogus.

Teri is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.

Right on.

One way Teri punishes herself is self-directed sarcasm. She is a very sarcastic person. Often this sarcasm and "sharp tongued" behavior is directed at herself.

I'd say that's right, but I'm not sure it's "punishment". More like, sarcasm is how I deal with just about everything.

Teri is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal, healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. She finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Teri basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach." She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life.

Oh, the planning. I can't stand to have things not planned out, at least in my head. I don't do things spontaneously. That's why graduation is so scary right now -- I have no solid plans, and it freaks me right out.

Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagory, her self-perception is better than average.

Hmm. True about needing more confidence in certain areas, but overall I don't think my self-esteem is quite as high as the analysis says.

In reference to Teri's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Teri slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Teri can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Right -- though it seems that almost everyone on my friends list got this result. I guess we all have the "best of two kinds of minds", heh.

Teri will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

Spot on. I'm tactless, but I tell the truth.

Teri uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart.

Ususally.

She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them.

Generally collected, yes -- but I don't consider myself an unemotional person even though I do tend to keep things to myself at times. I wouldn't say I have "no need" to express them.

She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Teri does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later.

True about the first parts, but I am usually sorry about telling someone off. Even though I might pretend otherwise.

She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far.

Erm, no. If that was the case, then I can think of at least one person with whom I shouldn't be speaking. I like to think I'm a forgiving person, or I try to be.

She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Teri will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says.

Pretty accurate, especially the last part.

Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know.

Definitely true, of all relationships. There are less than a handful of people that have heard me say that.

The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally.

Nope, that's not an exception. The exception is if someone drags it out of me, or if I am in a situation where it is difficult to express affection through actions, and words are the only things I have.

Teri is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else.

Yeah, emotional appeals do nothing for me. Sure, I sympathise with people, but I'm not going to be brought to tears by someone's story -- even those that are true and genuinely moving.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Teri doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

This is pretty vague -- "balanced" in what way? I'd say I was a little more on the "private and aloof" side of the spectrum as far as social interactions go.

Okay. Enough with the meme stuff; I swear I'll have a post of some substance eventually.

Hey Joseph, I don't think I'm going to be putting THAT much stock into what my handwriting says about me. :)
