More i's That Have It!

© Kerrie Spencer

By now you're getting to be just about an expert at hunting down interesting letters and strokes in handwriting samples - right? Perhaps you've even gone over your OWN writing a number of times to see what you could see. Amazing how much you can learn isn't it?

In our last article we left off at a spot that dealt with people who used an 'i' as a beginning or ending stroke. You'll remember it meant they were a quick thinker. Let's look at a hooked i which indicates a person who is tenacious, who hangs on and has a very retentive memory. Oh yes, and they're active as well. Next, let's look at an i that has a very heavy dot. This is aggressive, holding negative attitudes, and a person who definitely likes to have the last word. I'm sure we've all met someone like this at one time in our lives.

What about an i that is quite high above the stem? Well, you might be thinking it means high imagination (and you'd be right), an individual who reaches for high goals. Now here's an interesting thing. If the i dot is TOO high, then you have a person who is trying to reach for false goals.

Ever seen a person who makes i dots like check marks? Bet you likely have right? Well, if the check mark is to the left of the i stem, then the person is critical of themselves. If it is to the right, they are critical of others and if it's dead center, then they are critical of the abstract.

Now here's another interesting check mark LIKE i dot - but it looks more like a C. This means the person is a very good observer. If the C is backwards, then you have an individual who has emotional problems and who could be said to be neurotic.

Ok, done with the i's. Let's move on to the j's. Really in this category there is only one thing to be telling you - and that is the lower loop of the j is read like a g or a y. And the upper part of the j and dot is read like an i. Pretty straight forward.

And now the k's, or rather some of them. Seen a k with a narrow loop? Then you have an opinionated person. What about a k with a tall, clean, high upper stroke with no loop? Then you have initiative and enterprise. Wide k's, like fat bodied ones, tend to indicate the person doesn't care what others think and is very independent. If you have a tall k, tied with a nifty bow, and rather narrow then you are looking at vanity and insecurity and some say persistence.
