The o's and p's in Handwriting Analysis

Last time we took a look at letters of the alphabet, we focused on m's and n's. In this article we're going to move on to the o's and p's. It's amazing, but a seemingly simple o can "say" lots.

Let's start with a closed o. I mean totally closed. This means a person who is secretive. On the other hand, an o that is open to the right hand side is sincere. Also you may find the person is talkative too.

What if your o is arcaded? Well, that indicates a sense of humour and yes, talkative. :-) Open bottomed o's mean the person is hypocritical and dishonest. One other sign of deliberate deceit is double looped o's - meaning looped inside the letter to BOTH sides.

If the o is open to the left hand side of the letter then you have a greedy person. One who is acquisitive, and egotistical. Seen o's with pointed bottoms? What you're looking at is a person with a penetrating mind, a very sharp thinker.

Now here's an o you might not see very often. It's totally filled with ink. Black, well or blue, but totally colored in - almost like a blob. This means the person is sensual with a strong sexual appetite.

Now the p's. Many of us have seen sports minded individuals with inflated p's. Kinda like the Pillsbury dough boy knocked on his side. Well, it means that individual likes physical action and is always on the move.

P's with a tall cap - meaning the up stroke is quite a lot higher than the lower actual closed cup part of the p. This mean a kind and affectionate person. If the p is narrow or has no loop. That person has good physical endurance.

What about a tall upper loop? Good imagination, pride and love of debate. Now it could also be said agrumentative. It depends on the fine line between aruging and actually debating a point.

A short upper loop means the person does definitely like to argue. A p with a left arc - which means the down stroke of the p arcs to the left hand side of the page - indicates a stubborn person. One who is also narrow-minded.

And how about those totally different, off the wall, creative p's? The ones done with flair, that are eye catching? Usually means the person is creative, a quick thinking individual and very active.
