Handwriting Test
A reader wanted to test my ability at handwriting analysis by giving me ten samples and not telling me who wrote them. Then at the end he threw in a sample from Sarah Palin.
He wants me to grade the intelligence of the samples he gave me. One of the problems with this is that intelligence is manifest and interpreted in different ways. Here are some ingredients. [1] Quality of the memory [2] Quickness of the mind. [3] Creative ability [4] Degree of self-learning [5] Strong projection of personality energy is often seen as intelligence. [6] Determination and assertiveness.
People often misinterpret the intelligence of others. For instance, Thomas Edison’s writing reveals that he didn’t have native intelligence a lot above average but was extremely visionary and determined. He was indeed 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.
Others think that those with whom they disagree are not intelligent because they do not agree with them or see through the same lens. But there are those on both sides of the political fence who are blessed with a lot of native intelligence and mental ability.
True intelligence eventually leads to soul contact and then the two move toward oneness.
Here are brief comments on the samples he sent:
Sample #1 Very free thinker and intelligent in the ways he wants to focus. Has good intuition in areas of focus
#2 In some ways above average – good at arguments, quick thinker. He has emotional conflicts that interfere with clear thinking.
#3 Average intelligence if this is a teenager below average if an adult. Interaction with friends very important.
#4 Very intelligent quick and creative thinker. Capable of high intellectual achievement.
#5 Very intelligent, especially high emotional intelligence. Extremely quick mind. Can accomplish whatever he wants.
#6 Another intelligent individual. Good self-learner and good at arguing his point.
#7 This person has a quick mind, is perceptive and creative but has emotional conflicts that inhibit full powers of reasoning.
#8 Passionate and emotional thinker but has a quick creative mind. Probably promotes a strong philosophy.
#9 This guy wants to be perceived as intelligent and important and is above average but it is his charm and smooth talking that projects intelligence more than his native ability, which is a little above average. He seizes opportunity when it presents itself. Stubbornly independent.
#10 This guy has a lot of intelligent traits similar to Sarah Palin – quick mind perceptive and versatile but doesn’t try to project the feeling of importance and ego as #9. Strong emotional intelligence
#11 Sarah Palin – First time I have seen this much of her handwriting. Strong emotional intelligence, good executive intelligence, good self-learner, quick thinker, traditional values, strong presence. She underestimates herself and likes to play it safe – probably accounts for why she didn’t run this time.
Here was the reader’s response:
Re: JJ’s handwriting interpretation to the test
Wow, I have to say I’m impressed!
Good comments on the nature of intelligence also.
Here are the authors:
1. Cristian Tudor Popescu, a well known journalist and writer in Romania. He uses strong logic, literary skills and human morality to prove his points. I would rate him as highly intelligent. He is definetely “a free thinker” and has very good intuition. One of my favorites. Here is a picture of him: http://www.gandul.info/puterea-gandului/va-place-de-basescu-9815171
2. Michael Jackson;
3. Paris Hilton;
4. Emil Cioran, romanian philosopher, possibly the greatest nihilist thinker of all time. “Capable of high intellectual achievement.” – spot on.
5. JFK;
6. Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, leader of the romanian nationalist movement between the 2 world wars that allied with Hitler. I would rate his intelligence as average, but he had a very strong personality;
7. Gabriel Liiceanu, romanian philosopher. I would rate him as intelligent. He has high emotional intelligence and strong moral values. “has emotional conflicts that inhibit full powers of reasoning.” – spot on.;
8. Hilbert, genius mathematician;
9. Barack Obama;
10. G.W. Bush;
On some of the authors it even crossed my mind that you knew their handwriting, like in the case of Obama, it was that good! Overall, your interpretation was excellent. Now I can take more seriously your handwriting argument.
JJ: Always honored to gain some earned authority. This was similar to a test that the local newspaper put me to and the favorable article was read by my wife and lead to my meeting her.
I was hoping the sample that turned out to be Paris Hilton was not your daughter.
Einstein Quote?
A reader posts this: The professor of a university challenged his students with this question. “Did God create everything that exists?”
A student answered bravely, “Yes, he did”.
The professor then asked, “If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists [as noticed by our own actions], so God is evil. The student couldn’t respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had “proved” that “belief in God” was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, “May I pose a question? “
“Of course” answered the professor.
The young student stood up and asked: “Professor does cold exist?”
The professor answered, “What kind of question is that?…Of course the cold exists… haven’t you ever been cold?”
The young student answered, “In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of Physics, what we consider cold, in fact is the absence of heat. Anything is able to be studied as long as it transmits energy [heat]. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don’t have body heat or we are not hot.”
“And, does dark exist?” he continued.
The professor answered “Of course”.
This time the student responded, “Again you’re wrong, Sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in fact simply the absence of light. Light can be studied, darkness cannot be. Darkness cannot be broken down. A simple ray of light tears the darkness and illuminates the surface where the light beam finishes. Dark is a term that we humans have created to describe what happens when there’s lack of light.”
Finally, the student asked the professor, “Sir, does evil exist?” The professor replied,
“Of course it exists, as I mentioned at the beginning, we see violations, crimes and violence anywhere in the world, and those things are evil.”
The student responded, “Sir, evil does not exist. Just as in the previous cases, evil is a term which man has created to describe the result of the absence of God’s presence in the hearts of man.
After this, the professor bowed down his head, and didn’t answer back.
The young man’s name was Albert Einstein.
JJ: I thought this didn’t sound like Einstein talking so I checked it out and it appears to be a creative story merely attributed to Einstein in 2004.
The article nevertheless does contain some good points for consideration.
Time Is Relative When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity. – Albert Einstein
