“The Standard Forms of Executives” from French’s “The psychology of handwriting.”
Got a spare half hour this weekend? Want to know more about yourself? Then have a look at William L. French’s 1922 The psychology of handwriting — complete with illustrations!
Are you a tea drunkard? French can tell from the downstroke of your cursive hand. Could you be a good salesman? If your handwriting is firm, confident, and rather small, French thinks yes. And don’t hope to escape if you take pleasure in deceiving others: French can tell from the height of your letters.
