7.2 SIZE OF WRITING

********************

Differences in writing size are quite remarkable, and next to the “over-all” appearance of the lines, size is the most conspicuous thing about a person’s penmanship. The examples given run the gamut of sizes, affording easy comparison with any samples you may intend to analyze.

TINY WRITING shows an artistic or literary nature, with great attention to detail. This is the writing of a specialist, a person who becomes more and more centered on a single aim. Such writers never waste time or energy. They are thinkers who embody their thoughts in purpose, but are overly annoyed at triffles.

SMALL WRITING marks the scholar, the philosopher, or the statesman—IN ordinary life it shows a person of keen observation and executive ability. These writers are the type who go to the top in their chosen fields.

AVERAGE WRITING covers a considerable range of size and in many instances represents just what it is termed: Mr. Average Man. But the analysis should by no means stop at that. This average, in itself, shows balance, plus ability.

Coupled with over factors, it would indicate a man who would do better in business for himself than as an executive or salesman with a big company. Where learning is concerned, it is the mark of the inventor, the man who acquires knowledge and applies it to new things.

Note if writing of this type tends toward small or large and you will have keys to the individual’s personal inclination, a guide to which course he should follow if the choice arose.

LARGE WRITING shows an active, often restless nature, a desire to go places and do bigger things. People who use this style like to attract attention and influence others. They are often bighearted, self-reliant, and sure of success, but they defeat themselves when they indulge in talk instead of action.

Large Writing

HUGE WRITING is the sure mark of a self-important person given to grand ideas and unwilling to accept sharp criticism. With this importance, however, there is strict integrity. The very emphasis given to huge writing indicates a person who will back up his convictions.
