This is from book Graphologie (Anne-Marie Cobbaert): "People with contact difficulties - whose causes reach from simple shyness till sick isolation of "I" - are leaving not only wide spaces between words and lines, but also leave wide right margin...."
Generally right slant of the writing signifies extraversion, openness, sociability - like if you lean toward other people, left slant is introversion, caution, mistrust, but also calculation and hypocricy. Vertical is something in between, can be also seen as cold and indifferent.
As I noticed, the majority of people have left slanted writing, it is always only me between them who has right slant (btw. hope "slant" is the right word).
Also people who write n like u (it´s called "girlanda") are seen as open, people who write n like n (it´s called "arcada") are rather conventional, pretentious, the image is important to them and how they appear on the outside. Sometimes they try to cover up or even lie (but this probably cannot be used alone as a proof of lie. Nevertheless there is caution advisable).
(I have girlanda btw.) Anyway this is just a very little and my english is not so good to explain everything, there are so many other interesting things about graphology so if you´re interested look into getting some book.
Well I guess I'm in the "it's all rubbish" camp. I write with my left and everything slants WAAY to the right. And I'm not any of those =/ Also my dad's handwriting is COMPLETELY different from my moms. You can at least read hers. He looks like he wrote his with his foot. Plus, you can write anyway you want it just takes practice. As far as how "nice" it looks... that just depends on the person doing it. But the style slants and all that, anyone can learn or change.

Im not sure that its an exact science and might not apply to everyone,but i think like alot of things we do sub-conciously.. like body language ect how we write can probaly give off subtle clues about us if your clever enough to understand and spot them and handwriting is probaly as unique as finger prints.Its deffo intresting.. I mean if you speak to people long enough... be it on the phone.. over emails or in person and get to know them well enough,you learn to pick up subtle certain things... Makes sence that you can probaly learn things from how people write.
Since ive been ill,my handwriting has changed and my style never stays consistent these days And im sure quite a few people have said somthing simlar in an older topic *shrugs*

My handwriting is bad too! It did get neater at one point then I let it go again and it looks awful. I've downloaded sheets and i've been practicing from them!
On a similar note, does anyone else have a terrible signature?
Good handwriting depends partly on being relaxed, so maybe this is why so many people here feel their writing isn't very good. When you're tense you hold a pen awkwardly and this can show itself in your writing, with different sizes of letters, odd slants, etc. Some people can write well when on their own, but ask them to write something - a cheque maybe - in public with other people watching and their writing goes to pieces.
Try not to worry about your writing, then you might actually see it improve.
