Isn't his use of captial letters in all his correspondence a sign of something being not quite right in his psychological make-up? No doubt discussed a million times before...
3 Personality Secrets Of People Writing In All Caps
1. They Don’t Like Sharing Much
I had an ex-colleague who wrote in all caps. We worked together for about a year and we sat barely a couple of meters apart. But beyond his name and the fact that he worked there, I did not know anything about him. I still don’t. In fact, most people on the team thought the same about him.
Such writers do not like to disclose much about themselves to others. According to graphology, all-caps writers are uncomfortable talking about their personal lives — at least in interpersonal relationships. They do not want others to know about themselves. (What does it mean if you have a signature in all caps?)
2. They Suppress Their Feelings
People who have all-caps handwriting feel a compulsive need to sift their emotions through reason. They seldom allow their feelings to come out spontaneously.
In fact, they also repress their feelings primarily because they are suspicious or defensive. (Also Read: Lucky Signature Samples)
In some cases, writing in all capital letters may not be much hiding the true personality as it is controlling the expression of self. Control can be an effective response to stress, and it may be taken to the extreme.
3. They Are ‘Narcissists’
Michael Watts says in his book, Lovescript, that all-caps handwriting may belong to writers with “narcissistic tendencies”. If you also see any other narcissistic indicators in the writing, for example a large/large and showy signature, the writer is a “narcissist” with poor people skills, he observes.
However, it won’t be a good idea to call every call caps/print writers as narcissists. A handwriting analyst needs to find out what the rest of the writing shows about the writer’s personality.
As a matter of fact, many of these block printers have physical issues, and some mental health issues. It’s possible that they resort to block printing rather than display the problems with controlling the pen that would come in cursive writing or even in manuscript printing.
As a matter of rule, a handwriting analyst is not qualified to diagnose a condition; he can only describe what he sees in the handwriting. Therefore, always look at the whole picture before arriving at a conclusion.
4. They Are Set In Their Ways
All-caps handwriting lacks connection between letters, which indicates that the writer does not like to relate to people at a personal level.
Also, such writers are quite egotistic. They hold strong opinions and it’s very tough to get them to see another point of view. They emphasise a lot on their day-to-day lives, rather than spending time planning their future.
About all-caps handwriting, graphologist Sheila Lowe says:
The writer’s [Block printer] energies are concentrated in the day-to-day area of routine and social interaction… her ego is central to all aspects of her life. She does not mind sharing her opinions, and expects you to agree with her. But if you don’t, it won’t change her mind.”
