One time my Korean coteacher demanded I provide her with a handwritten lesson plan. (I had no laptop at home for the 1st 2 months of my contract, plus the janitor didn't like me staying back after 4:30). She never asked me again. Not because it was illegible, but because the vast majority of Koreans can't read runic script.

My handwriting is shockingly bad. I was in school when they still taught cursive writing and it was a very hard subject for me. I hated it.

Handwriting analysis is mostly bunk by the way. About the only part of it that has validity is determining the uniqueness of the handwriiting i.e determining someone is responsbile for writing something based on other samples of that person's writing.

i wouldn't dismiss handwriting analysis so fast. analyzing handwriting isn't just about the person's lettering, but a lot of it has to do with their line spacing, margins, spacing between words and letters.

Yes, and that stuff is evidence towards uniqueness. It does not prove any particular personality traits. In fact even the uniqueness of handwriting has come under question in recent years.

My hand-writing has been described as cute, but I think it also looks a little untidy.

One of my students once said to me, about my handwriting "I can see why you're single." I don't discuss my relationship status with my students beyond telling them that no, I'm not married, so I was like "What?! How do you know I'm single?" in mock outrage. Not sure what she was implying by that comment.
