The Q's, R's and Some S's in Handwriting Analysis

© Kerrie Spencer

Last time we visited the alphabet we took a look at the o's and p's of handwriting analysis. In this article we'll be looking at q's (and there's really only ONE of those); at the r's and some s's.

First the lone "q" And really all you need to know about handling or interpreting the q's is that they are read like g's. So you can refer back to the article on g's in Suite 101.

And now the r's. You've probably seen some interesting r's that have a high point on the initial upstroke. It's usually fairly sharp too. What does it mean? Means the person may be psychic, visually oriented and is very curious.

Lazy r's that look almost like a scribble on the page falling over the the right indicates the writer could be lazy and is definitely a slow thinker.

Here's one you'll want to look for - the romantic and affectionate r. It's softly rounded at the top loop and leans over to the right. It almost looks like a head bowing foward in prayer.

How about narrow r's? One's that are pinched together, squeezed in fact. That means the person has repressed emotions, is secretive and has a number of inhibitions.

Ever seen an r that looks like an undotted i? This indicates a sharp and critical mind, a person who is not easily led.

For those of us who write r's that have flat tops that almost look like small tables, this means the person has manual dexterity.

Got an r that look sort of like a camel with two humps? Then you have a person who is broad-minded.

Looped r's? Kind of ornate without being too frilly and frivilous? The writer has a sense of humour and, well, it also tends to indicate vanity.

Moving on - we hit the s's. A nicely closed s indicates the person is secretive. If the s ends on the left side (the tail ending that is) the writer is stubborn, closed to changes and new ideas.

An s with a twist tie effect on the bottom left hand side and with an upper twist to the top indicates an obedience to rules and the presence of imagination.

S's that are quick looking, direct, sharp looking and clean, mean drive, energy and ambition. If you're looking for whether or not the person has tenacity then look for an s with tenacity hooks. And last but not least (or there are more, but we don't have room for all of them) you may have seen what we call a German s - it's rather ornate and old-fashioned looking and in some cases it looks like a British pound note sign. It means - old-fashioned and clings to tradition.
