Romney's Handwriting Analysis

2008-1-7 06:10:00

Ash said he was anxious to see an analysis of Romney's handwriting. Since he is said to be the winner of Sunday's debate, which may catapult him to victory in New Hampshire, we'll do him next.

Again all I have is his signature. We can get some good details out of a signature, but we do not get the full picture. The reason is that the signature represents the image the person is attempting to present to the world and the other writing reveals more of what he is in his regular more real living moments.

The signature is often much different than the regular writing just as the image we try to project is different than how we are with friends from our youth.

Even though we are limited in examining the signature there are certain traits that will come through that will be in all of the subject's handwriting.

The first thing that catches my attention about Romney's handwritings is how many points are similar to Huckabee's.

They are similar in having high emotional response, passion and strong, but charming personalities. Romney and Huckabee are the two most religious ones in the race, but Huckabee puts a lot more attention on the abstract side of religion whereas Romney tries to apply it on a more practical basis. His attention is more on making earth a heaven than dying and going there.

For being in such a restrictive religion Romney is quite a free spirit (as indicated in the letter formations of his first name). This is evidenced by the fact he was pro choice for some time even though this position is frowned upon by the Mormon church.

He had big shoes to fill in that his Father was President of American Motors, governor of Michigan and presidential candidate. His signature indicates he handled this well by attempting to make his own mark and be his own person rather than rely on his Father's reputation. Being his own person is very important to him. It really bothers him when someone tries to stereotype him because he is LDS, rich, had a famous dad etc. He really wants to be known for what he has dome and what he is.

He pays respect to traditional Mormonism, conservatism, mom and apple pie, but he really tries to think outside the box and is willing to take quite bold action that will surprise his traditional associates. He is an interesting combination of liberal and conservative thinking, but is always looking for ways to make liberal change while upholding conservative values. He is not bullheaded about having his way but is willing to compromise and meet others halfway.

An outstanding feature of his handwriting is that he is a visionary. He sets goals that are impossible to reach unless a person has great determination, self control, passion and intelligence. Fortunately for him he is usually able to achieve these high goals. This feature reminds me of the handwriting of Thomas Edison. If Romney becomes president he will definitely not be a caretaker of the status quo. Also he is unlikely to mess around with interns as he has great self control.

He is very intuitive and independent, yet a team player when the situation calls for it.

After I finish going through the candidates I plan on creating a web page with all the candidates and handwriting samples and interpretation.
