Here’s What Your Handwriting Says About You, According to an Expert

13. A slant that changes

Similar to handwriting that lacks uniformity in letter and word size, handwriting that slants in different directions over the course of a paragraph or page is a potential sign of a disorganized personality. “When there’s too much variability in a person’s writing, there may also be chaotic elements in their personality,” according to Poizner. “Someone who charges forth and then throws on the brakes suddenly, [causing] whiplash.”

In some cases, slant inconsistency is related to the content. “I had a friend who had issues with her mother,” says Poizner. “She had a right-inclined script, but when she wrote the word mother, all of a sudden you saw that left slant.”
