My last blog discussed broad-mindedness as it is seen in handwriting. How then do you discern through handwriting if a candidate is narrow minded? First, let’s discuss what narrow-mindedness is: For the purpose of this blog it is someone who has a narrow or restricted point of view, or someone who is intolerant to opinions they consider far from theirs. To an extreme, narrow-mindedness may cut someone off from outside experiences and contribute to inner tensions, limit understanding and reduce thinking capacity. Although thought of negatively, narrow-mindedness may provide the positive effect of acting as a screen against the intrusion of extraneous ideas into a person’s pattern of thinking so that certain opinions can be blocked out to preserve their way of life.
In handwriting, narrow-mindedness is indicated by narrowed letter e’s, sometimes so restricted as to be retraced. You may also see tightly oval circle letters as well. Someone who has this evident in their writing prefers to stay ‘safe’ within the confines of his own experience and does not welcome the ideas of others. If a candidate’s e’s are retraced but the oval letters are rounded, there will be some appreciation of the opinions of others, but they won’t be likely to be accepting of them.
If your candidate’s writing has extremely narrow upper loops in the l’s h’s b’s and k’s, your candidate will restrict philosophical ideas Add to this attention to detail (close i-dots to the i-stems) and loyalty to beliefs (rounded i-dots) and you have a definite perfectionist in your candidate. If in addition to the above your candidate’s m’s and n’s have sharp v-wedges at the base of the letter and corresponding upper v-wedges in the letter, your candidate may exhibit narrow-mindedness because he has come to what he believes is a correct conclusion and he sees no need to explore the situation further; the matter will be closed as far as he is concerned.
Stubbornness (tent strokes in the d’s, t’s or l’s) may enhance narrow-mindedness for, after having taken a stand, your candidate would refuse to change their mind or admit a new idea. The vertical-slanted candidate (poised) who also retraces his e’s may see only the black-and-white related issues and refuse to acknowledge the existence of ‘gray or nuance’ between.
Repression (retraced m’s and n’s) in addition to retraced e’s makes your candidate afraid to assert new ideas or expand the ones they have. Add to this mix of traits self-deceit (left-ward looped a’s and d’s) and your candidate will be afraid to face life and, in closing his mind to the facts, they deceive themselves. All the above with dagger- and downward-slanting t-bars and you have someone who is generally obnoxious and who tries to enforce their ideas on everyone around them.

Broad-mindedness and Handwriting
Are you considering candidates for a position requiring broad-mindedness? Are you looking for a potential mate or good friend with broad-mindedness? You can easily see this in handwriting! Broad-mindedness in handwriting terms is defined as ‘a willingness to tolerate the ideas of others’.
The trait in the strokes of handwriting is seen in well-circled e’s, supported by other wide loop and circle structures. Although the main indication is in the well-circled letter e’s, the upper loops would also best be well looped to indicate ‘abstract/idea’ tolerance.
When these well-circled letters are seen in vertical slanted handwriting, they will in effect ‘soften’ the poise and objectivity of the person to allow for another’s point of view. The vertical writer with broad-mindedness brings the element of empathy and fair-mindedness to their personality.
When these well circled e’s and l’s appear in a forward-slanted writing, the writer will usually avoid bias, especially when generosity is also seen in the writing (wide word endings). The more well-looped letters such as ‘l’, ‘b’ and ‘h’ are, the more broad-minded the writer will be in relation to ideas, philosophies or even religion. Where you see an extremely narrow upper loop, the writer’s tolerance of ideas, religion and ideas will be equally as narrow.
Broad-mindedness is a wonderful asset for the writer because they can adjust quickly, to accept advice or counsel in an understanding and empathetic manner. Such a person can establish rapport and cooperation very quickly.
Broad-mindedness (well-looped e’s) seen with independent thinking (shorter t-stems than upper loops) is a plus because the person will not only accept the beliefs of others, but will themselves expect the right to make up their mind in their own way.
When the upper loops barely ‘peek’ over the tops of the lower case letters (and where the letter e’s are well looped, indicating broad-mindedness), the writer will be tolerant of ideas predominantly relating to every-day life. Broad-mindedness will be able to balance such ‘rigid’ traits as resentment (rigid upstrokes to words and letters), stubbornness (tent-strokes in t’s and d’s) and aggressiveness (v-wedges in y’s and g’s)
This trait will add a good deal of enjoyment to any writer’s life because tolerance will enhance personal relationships and ease adjustments to new situations.
