Inspired by the GOP front-runner\u2019s unusual skill, we at Politico Magazine decided to solicit some handwriting analysis of our own. Perhaps a bona fide expert could see in their signatures the deepest personality quirks of the 2016 presidential field\u2014Trump included, of course.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/writing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"514\">So, what did we learn? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>According to Michelle Dresbold, a graduate of the United States Secret Service&#8217;s Advanced Document Examination training program who&#8217;s written a book on the subject, Carly Fiorina\u2019s fancy \u201cF\u201d is \u201ca bit pretentious,\u201d and Hillary Clinton\u2019s vertical slant shows her head rules her heart. Scott Walker\u2019s signature, which appears to be \u201ca strange version of Joe,\u201d signals deception. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And as for Trump, his writing suggests bigheadedness, anger and fear. Someone in the GOP field, Dresbold writes, could be about to unravel; a Democratic candidate fears destruction. Oh, and there\u2019s a phallic symbol in there, too. Read on! Dresbold&#8217;s full analysis is below.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Jeb Bush: &#8216;wants to stand on his own two feet&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/jeb-bush.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/jeb-bush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"384\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jeb Bush makes the upper loop of the \u201cJ\u201d in \u201cJeb\u201d big and full. This shows that he is willing to take on a lot of responsibility. Interestingly, the \u201cJeb\u201d is larger than the unreadable \u201cBush.\u201d This shows that Jeb wants to stand on his own two feet and would like to distance himself from the \u201cBush\u201d name. He signs his name large and slightly uphill which shows that he has confidence in himself and is willing to push upwards and onwards.<\/p>\n<h3>Ben Carson: &#8216;feared abandonment&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/ben-carson.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/ben-carson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"186\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cB\u201d in Ben and the \u201cC\u201d in Carson are very high compared to the other letters in his name. When upper letters are exaggerated, it shows a writer who can get stuck in his head and thought process. The \u201cBen\u201d and \u201cCarson\u201d are so close together that they touch, which shows that growing up, Ben feared abandonment. The ending says even more: Carson loops down and forms a line underneath his signature, which shows that he has confidence in himself.<\/p>\n<h3>Chris Christie: &#8216;deep interest in baseball&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/chris-christie.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/chris-christie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"227\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chris Christie\u2019s handwriting leans upward, expressing a positive, upbeat personality that is success driven. He runs his \u201cJ\u201d into his last name, demonstrating his quick and fluid thinking. The \u201ct\u201d crossing in his last name ends with a dot, presumably the dot of the \u201ci.\u201d This effect resembles a bat and ball, which means Christie could have a deep interest in baseball.<\/p>\n<h3>Hillary Rodham Clinton: &#8216;a lot of control&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/hillary-rodham-clinton.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/hillary-rodham-clinton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"135\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/01\/hillary_clinton.jpg\" width=\"776\" height=\"599\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Hillary Rodham Clinton&#8217;s handwriting is straight up and down. A vertical slant takes a lot of control. It appears in the handwriting of people whose heads rule their hearts. She also uses a combination of printing and cursive. This print-writing is found in creative thinkers: artists, musicians, writers, attorneys and speakers. Also notice that the \u201cy\u201d in \u201cHillary\u201d is a straight firm down stroke. This strong downward stroke (no loop) appears in the handwriting of strong-willed people determined to reach their goals. Hillary clearly writes \u201cRodham\u201d\u2014clearly she doesn\u2019t want people to forget that she is, first and foremost, her own person.<\/p>\n<h3>Ted Cruz: &#8216;determined and dogmatic&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/ted-cruz.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/ted-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"146\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ted Cruz\u2019s signature is written in heavy and thick tones. This demonstrates that he is determined and dogmatic. He also makes his \u201cT\u201d like the numeral \u201c7,\u201d showing his propensity for math and numerical thinking. His \u201cd\u201d ends sharply and abruptly, indicating that when he says something, he means it. He will cut off anyone who thinks or sees things differently.<\/p>\n<h3>Carly Fiorina: &#8216;a bit pretentious&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/carly-fiorina.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/carly-fiorina.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"144\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Carly makes her \u201cy\u201d straight, firm and down. This shows a person determined to make it in life. Her rightward slant shows that same passion. The break between the \u201ci\u201d and \u201co\u201d in her last name indicates that she dotted her \u201ci\u201d immediately after writing it. These breaks demonstrate that Fiorina is an intelligent, creative thinker. Her \u201cF\u2019 is formal and a bit pretentious, showing that she likes things to look clean and proper<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<h3>Bobby Jindal: &#8216;feeling isolated &#8230; could start to unravel&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/bobbyjindal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/bobbyjindal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"348\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bobby Jindal\u2019s signature is impossible to read. He doesn\u2019t let others read him\u2014at all. His first name is angular, showing a tough, determined, ambitious, competitive man. The extreme space between his first and last name shows that he is feeling isolated and separated from the rest of the world. The constricted round and round motion in his last name indicates that he\u2019s feeling very tightly wound and could start to unravel.<\/p>\n<h3>George Pataki: &#8216;enjoys culture&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/george-pataki.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/george-pataki.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"148\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>George Pataki makes his capital letters small, simple and unpretentious, meaning he most likely comes from a simple, homey background. His middle initial that resembles a backwards \u201c3\u201d indicates that he is well read and enjoys culture.<\/p>\n<h3>Marco Rubio: &#8216;doesn&#8217;t want others to read him&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/marco-rubio.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/marco-rubio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"265\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to decipher Marco Rubio\u2019s signature. Signatures that are unreadable show a writer who doesn\u2019t want others to read him. The ultra-high capitals indicate Rubio\u2019s drive to reach the top. Rubio\u2019s signature appears to read \u201cMa Ma.\u201d Could this be because Rubio\u2019s driving force is his mom and his family history?<\/p>\n<h3>Bernie Sanders: &#8217;emotionally driven&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/bernie-sanders.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/bernie-sanders.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"109\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bernie Sanders\u2019 handwriting slants sharply to the right. Right-slanted writers are emotionally driven; their hearts rule their heads. \u201cSanders\u201d is easy to read, meaning that he states his views clearly and hopes for the best. However, \u201cBernie\u201d looks like a \u201cB\u201d and an \u201cX,\u201d which could be a sign that he has a fear of destruction and always has his eye out for the worst.<\/p>\n<h3>Donald Trump: &#8216;Me&#8230; big hunk of man&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/donaldtrump.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/donaldtrump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"278\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s signature has absolutely no curves, only angles. Curves in handwriting show softness, nurturing and a maternal nature. Angles show a writer who is feeling angry, determined, fearful, competitive or challenged. When a script is completely devoid of curves, the writer lacks empathy and craves power, prestige and admiration. Besides the bigheadedness that shows in this script there is something else that is rather over-sized\u2014the \u201cp\u201d in \u201cTrump.\u201d This large phallic symbol shouts, \u201cMe \u2026 big hunk of man.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<h3>Scott Walker: &#8216;shows one thing and delivers another&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/scottwalker.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/scottwalker.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"250\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Scott Walker\u2019s signature appears to be a strange version of \u201cJoe.\u201d It is one thing not to be able to read a signature; it means that writer doesn\u2019t want to be \u201cread.\u201d However, when a writer uses ambiguous letters, it shows deception\u2014someone who shows one thing and delivers another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article source:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2015\/09\/donald-trump-handwriting-analysis-2016-candidates-213161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.politico.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"6587ada91bcda6cf6e3707e649b65b83\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px;\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script async defer src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyWriteChoice\/\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-share=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Handwriting expert Michelle Dresbold analyzes the signature of 2016 US presidential candidates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16498,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/05\/hillary.png","fifu_image_alt":"Analysis of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Signatures","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-famous-personalities","has_thumb"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/05\/hillary.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pyDqN-326","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11662"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19607,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11662\/revisions\/19607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
