Instant People-Reading Through Handwriting [Paperback]

Anne Silver Conway (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1991

A person's handwriting can tell you just about anything you want to know:

( How passionately she kisses.
( Which traffic lane he drives in.
( How often he calls his mother
( Whether she can accept your biggest fault

And it's all here in this breezy, entertainingly written book by an expert handwriting analyst. You'll find out the six major personality types that handwriting reveals: Thinkers (Mr. Nice Guy) Jugglers (they're always busy) Pleasers (the get emotional) Readers (the tornadoes) Menders (they'll try to fix you) Chameleons (they're infuriating).

You also find how to predict the behavior of each type, how they get along with each other, and what to expect from practically any relationship you might have with them.

Packed with over 400 writing samples to help you pick up signals from even the most innocent-looking flourish, this is a book to change forever the way you look at handwriting-and people.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst handwriting book I have ever read!, September 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant People-Reading Through Handwriting (Paperback)

There are many inadequacies in this book..too many to mention. I would like to know what kind of background Ms. Conway has in the area of handwriting analysis. A lot of the information in this book is so far off the beaten path. I have read many books on handwriting analysis including Graphology, Graphoanalysis and Graphotherapy. I am returning the book. It is a great dissappointment. In my opinion there is more information that is inaccurate than accurate. It is very misleading to the novice. It shows me that anyone can write a book and sell it. Not good!

This review is from: Instant People-Reading Through Handwriting (Paperback)

This was my first Graphology book, and it was dissappointing. If the author has done any systematic research, it found no mention in the book. Instead, the analysis seems to be based purely on visual lines (references to "foetal position" shapes & musical notes' shapes & "smiles" in people's writing). Agreed that all script started out as pictograms, but this drags things a bit too far.
Also, she completely discounts the fact that many people write upto 60% of their alphabets in so called "print"& that non-cursive writing could also exhibit many numerous variations & unique traits.
