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.
