Handwriting analysis

My interest was piqued after doing some research into handwriting styles yesterday.

I went searching for a way to analyse my existing style of writing, these are the descriptions from the first website I found:
Size (Personal presence) = medium: flexible, fits into a crowd. Practical, realistic, balanced, works well with others or by oneself.

Slant (Emotional interactions) = vertical: practical, independent, head rules over heart. Self sufficient, in control of self, low emotional response, restrained.

Simplicity (Clarity of thought and Action) = high: clear efficient thinking. Strips away non-essentials to get to core of problem, definite opinions, takes initiative.

Capitals (Showmanship)  = plain: Unpretentious, underplays self. (New style = Some elaboration: confident self presentation. Self confident yet conforming, presents self in an appropriate manner, adds some showmanship.)

Baseline (Disposition) = usually straight: determined, stays on track. Self motivated, reliable, mind controls emotion, steady, unflinching.

The Baseline can change with your mood. If you start to slope upwards, you are feeling upbeat, positive, hopeful, ambitious with a can-do attitude. If you start to slope downwards you are probably tired and overwhelmed, pessimistic, not very hopeful, and see more chances for failure than for success. If your baseline is erratic (waves up and down), then you lack definite direction, emotionally unsettled, unpredictable, indecisive, and may have trouble achieving goals.
Heh, well, seems fairly spot on for me anyway (especially when I look at the alternatives).
