Effective Metaphors in Describing Personality Traits by Bart Baggett
It is not easy to relate the negative meanings of handwritings to people. It is a sensitive matter. Handwriting experts sometimes neglect to learn how to make the other person understand and relate to the negative meaning of his handwriting.
How can you tell your best friend he has low self-esteem? How about a fear of success? Being very direct about this type of issues is not the best way to keep friends or make new ones.
I'd like to invite you to watch this unreleased video segment recorded live in India and follow along as I explain how to describe personality traits using metaphors.
Now that you have watched the video...here are a few examples of common negative personality traits that are difficult to put across in a direct manner.
Instead of telling your mother she is argumentative... you'd be better off suggesting she'd argue with a telephone pole. This way you'll get a laugh while still making your point about the trait you see in her handwriting.
See if you can think of metaphors for the negative personality traits below, then read the ones we've come up with.
Each card of the graphodeck gives you the stroke, the corresponding personality trait and a description of the behavior....sometimes even clues to a metaphor.
It's a good idea to come up with several of your own metaphors for each of the basic strokes when discussing personality traits....It can help you become a better handwriting analyst.
Try to match these metaphors to the personality traits above........
"You hold your emotions in, but often one word can spark an emotional blow up."
"You like to keep projects going and feel a sense of loss when a project is over."
"You run out to the curb with the garbage...right as the trash truck pulls up in the morning."
"If someone were to ask you your age...you might not tell them."
"You can't help but honk or yell at an ignorant driver who cut you off in a traffic."
"You leave important tasks to the last minute and barely get them done on time."
"Do you have a collection of unfinished projects in your garage or on your desk?"
"If I told you something in confidence...I could count on you to keep it to yourself and not tell anyone what I said."
Thank you. There is no way to fully express my gratitude for this seminar. I think it came at just the right time. I am very excited that I will be able to help people. I have finally found my niche.
Anyone considering taking this course, should stop considering it and DO IT! I'm thrilled in knowing I go home with so much more than ever before.

Dear Bart,
I came to this conference on Friday, and I have learned so much and had so much fun and have met so many people. If this is something you have even a slight interest in doing, take the leap and just do it. Come to one of the seminars, buy the course and you won't regret it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can be told from a person's signature?
The signature represents what a person wants the world to see or what he wants to be, an image that may or may not be the same as the inner self. Because a signature contains only a few letters, it does not provide enough information for the analyst to make a complete and accurate evaluation.
My signature is illegible. What does that mean?
It means people have a hard time reading your name. Seriously, illegible handwriting can mean a number of things. In general, an illegible signature reveals a desire to be seen but not known, keeping things private.
You may want to keep your true identity hidden. It could also mean you are in a hurry. People who continually sign their name all day long often do so in a hurry and, therefore, don't care what their signature looks like. Illegible handwriting in combination with other specific traits may indicate dishonesty, but there are a lot of variables.
Why is my signature different than how I write everything else?
Because the signature is a badge to the world. It is a representation of what a person wants the world to see about himself. A signature that is different from the rest of his writing says he does not want to reveal everything about himself. There may be some aspect of his personality that he wants to hide, so he creates a new "person" by creating a signature with a different look.
