The ‘write’ way Bart Baggett demonstrates writing techniques

Before putting pen to paper, do we ever pause to think how our handwriting would reflect on us? Does our handwriting have anything to do with our personality and attitude towards life? Unbelievable it may sound, but some feel that we can change the c ourse of our life by simply changing our handwriting.

A workshop on handwriting conducted on Saturday at Pearl Residency demonstrated how one can use handwriting to achieve success. Bart Baggett, president of Handwriting University, USA, came with an agenda of making people aware of personality assessment going by one’s writing techniques. The fastest, easiest and the most accurate method of understanding someone’s true personality is handwriting analysis, also known as Graphology, he said. A lot goes by what you write and the way you write it. Research identifies 51 traits of handwriting. One can know how focussed a person is by the size of the writing. When the writing is small you hit the bull’s eye, else you miss it. Handwriting analysis can help you make the right career choice. The analysis of handwriting has wide applications in detecting crime and forensic medicine.

The workshop also aimed at making people analyse their approach towards life by understanding their level of concentration, fluidity of thoughts and self-deceptive nature. Handwriting can help in psychological studies as well.

“I can understand myself better. I am more confident in expressing myself, and of course it stands a chance of becoming a career,” says Swati, an MBA graduate, who attended the workshop.

A pack of flash cards was introduced so as to give enough guidance for a beginner to scrutinise his own writing. “The cards have been introduced for the first time in India,” says Pradeep Aggarwal the organiser of the workshop.
