This sample of George W. Bush was written as the governor of Texas and in preparation for his upcoming
presidential campaign. The pressure of the writing appears medium, but that is more the product of the quick handwriting
speed that Bush exhibits.
The striking features of this writing are its simplification, threading and small middle zone, overly tall capitals, speed, and disconnected cursive. The overall
picture of the sample depicts action/ kinesthetic and impatience.
Contrary to popular belief, George is a very intelligent man. He has three graphology traits for intellect; speed, simplification and creative connections that
aid speed and facility. He is a very quick thinker, goes straight to the heart of problems, and comes to conclusions rather quickly. He could be accused of not
planning well or thoroughly before acting. George is impulsive, not a cautious person [note the t-bars and how rightward they sit on the stem]
His style is to "see" the "Big picture" and direct his problem solving towards these goals; even at the expense of small details.
Bush has strong physical stamina and drive, enabling him to work hard and not tire; he has boundless energy. This is necessary to carry out his ambitious plans. While he does have
ambitious overall plans and goals; he does temper that "future" with the present day problems [here we can see two types of t-bars, short and low stemed mixed with high and strong ones]
Bush will pass up certain details for the benefit of the overall picture. However, he will not pass over those details which are vital to the overall plan or goal; only those which rate
at a lower priority. Bush allows intuition and gut feeling as part of his decision making process. And while George has plenty of backbone in his writing and can stand up to anyone; he
will utilize his flexibility and adabtability in dealing with others. He has a great deal of versatility in his writing in several different aspects. [the baseline is wavy in above average form level; there are
many slant and size changes, the connective forms vary; in fact every aspect of the writing varies. In low form level handwriting; it is a big problem, but this is higher form; and it is to be interpreted in
a positive manner]
George is quite an emotional person. He can even get carried away emotionally. However, when that does happen; he will often get a grip on himself and then place controls on himself.
[there are many slant changes and the writing will often get more and more right slanted; then a sudden quick change to an upright slant]
George can adapt his social skills, and his emotional demeanor to fit the circumstances. As mentioned earlier, he will adapt his ambitions and aspirations to accommodate the situation. However, in disagreeing
with you; he will be short and directly to the point. George can be argumentative when viewpoints clash. The writing is impatient and restless, and so is George. He has a hard time relaxing and just taking it easy.
He cannot be described as low key; George is an intense, no nonsense type.
Geroge will not disclose everything he knows, however, he will be evasive of an issue rather than to lie. His handwriting is sincere. His communications and directives to others are short and succinct, but on the
other hand; George does like to "shoot the breeze". He just won't talk about matters that he is not at liberty to discuss. This is an area where George will "let his hair down". He is not a social butterfly.
George has had difficulties with his parents, and there remains unresolved issues, especially with his father. He seems to have healed his problems with his mother though, if not completely, than to
a major degree.[note the PPI (Personal Pronoun I) in the sample. The father stroke is very short in the first PPI, and then it dissappears completely. The mother stroke is only half in the first PPI's, but becomes
more complete as the sample progresses]
George tries hard to prove his worthiness to others. On first impressions, George will try to emote a vision of confidence. His aspirations are not self contained as they are also protective of and for the benefit of others. [notice that the very high t-bars are often arcaded]
Personal self-esteem would be something that George questions in himself. This could be the explanation for the hard worker he is; he values himself by his achievements.
