so there are people that can tell a person's personality by their handwriting.

so I'm guessing they probably had a bunch of people fill out a handwritten personality test, and then just compared the writing...

this is, of course, assuming that no one lied on the test, and that they are writing in their normal style...

also - I would assume, they were not trying to rush to complete the exam, and that they were not intoxicated...

(Assumptions are very important and they must be explicitly stated, otherwise, miscommunication can lead to HUGE problems, rework, wasted time, and frustration)

then, a large enough sample would have to be taken, for if a small sample was taken, it would not be indicative of the true population...

because if I were to give the sample to, say ten people, and they just happened to be the last ten people I called on the phone, and I assumed that the last ten people I called was a true distribution of, say, the world... then 100% of the people in the work would be in their early-20's to mid-30's, 80% asian, 60% filipino, 70% female, and I would be related to 40% of the people in the world and married to 10% of the world's population. I would have also hugged everyone in the world.

you can see how my assumption would be faulty. I haven't hugged 100% of the world... maybe just 92% :-P

I digress... I was just looking at my handwriting and how it changes dramatically depending on the situation... when I am taking notes in meetings, it is sloppy, yet small, and my letters all run together... when I am just leaving messages for people on post-its it is very neat and straight and... when I write birthday cards it's...

man... I just totally got bored with this post.

I'm done.
