Fred Thompson's Handwriting Analysis

Concerning handwriting analysis, Dean asks:

"What happens if I change my handwriting?"

I have often had people come up to me and tell me that they write two or three different ways. They want to know which one should I analyze.

Actually when people tell me this and I look at the two or more different handwritings I see only one handwriting with a slight deviation. That deviation is almost always one of two things. Usually it is the slant. Other times it is printed writing as compared to cursive.

To the average person a changing of the slant or printing seems to create an entirely different handwriting, but to the trained eye these are only two traits out of hundreds to look for. Changing the slant will only cause about a 1 percent change in the writing. Printing also changes very little but it does hide some of the characteristics that can be found in the more free flowing cursive.

The slant reveals the mood and emotions of the person and a change of slant merely reveals a change of mood. Moody people have a lot of changes in their slant.

To create the most accurate analysis it is desirable to see the handwriting over a period of time and written in different situations so the analyst can gage the mood swings and other variables.

That said, let us move on to the last major candidate - Fred Thompson.

Again, with Thompson I am limited to two signatures I have found and am lucky to find them.

He has two characteristics that were found in several other candidates. First he likes to be the center of attention, a trait often found in actors. Wait - he is an actor, isn't he?

Secondly, he has lots of ideas but short on a detailed plan to materialize them. He probably relies a lot on underlings to assist in filling in the details.

A problem with his campaign is he is accused of lacking energy and enthusiasm for the job. I'm not sure how old my samples are but they indicate he can be very motivated and enthused if he really wants to do something. The writing cannot reveal all a person wants to accomplish but I would guess that his total heart has not been in becoming president. If he ever embraces this quest 100 percent I think we would see him get a second wind and be more animated. In fact this seemed to happen to a degree in the last debate. I think that if his poll numbers shot up we would finally see a more energized Fred.

Fred is emotional and impulsive at times and will make gutsy, even courageous moves when the situation requires it.

He has a strong desire for success and quite determined. He takes a lot of pride in his past work and his pride was a factor in delaying entry into the race. If he entered he really wanted to do well and was not sure he could do this, and thus the hesitation.

He resists overt efforts to change him or his mind but tries his best to cooperate with friendly faces, even if he disagrees with them.

Fred vacillates between being very inclusive to being fairly exclusive depending on the situation and his mood. Overall he has a wide variety of relationships and loves to talk about his favorite sports.

Like most of the candidates he is very secretive and will not reveal all he plans in his campaign speeches. This seems to be a common trait with presidential candidates.

He is above average in intelligence, a quick thinker and worker and not easily fooled. He has pretty good self-control for a politician.
