Dear LPG,

This is something that so many of us already know, but I got into a discussion about the subject not so long ago with a few of my friends and wondered if some other readers may be interested.  We got into a discussion about what you can tell about the personality of people you meet and what the best ways of learning about them is.

We were not talking about the usual facts.  You just have to ask a person to learn about how many children they have or their marital status and there is also quite a lot to be learned by just looking at the way a person dresses or talks to pick up on that information. 

My argument was that most of what we think about the people that we find around us comes from our ability to assess them, although each person’s assessment will be very subjective leaving any particular person with many people around them coming to very differing conclusions about the personality that they have assessed.

I went home and had a googling session as you do if you are me.  I do love to ask Google questions now that I have worked out how.

It is no secret that the way you write tells a lot about your personality and I know that there is a science behind that doctoring. I remember seeing people on television chat shows talking about what your writing says about you on more than one occasion.   I expected to find lots of really complicated information on line but I looked at more than one web page and learned quite a lot in a very short time.

So I challenge readers to write that phrase that includes every letter in the alphabet down (The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’) a couple of times and then learn what their handwriting says about them. No cheating though… write before you read the analysis, because what you read may affect the way you write quite a bit in the future.

 I will ask LPG to put links to the websites down. 

GF, Lewisham
