Best of 2003: Best Handwriting Analyst

Paula Sassi
858-586-1511

All Sassi needs is your signature, or better still, a page of your scrawl. She started this with a free class at City College. Now, a psychology degree and certification later, she heads the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation. Some tricks of her trade: look for left baseline hooks at the beginning of each word -- they indicate a propensity to steal. For verbal honesty: check how clear your a's and o's are. The form reveals your personality: angled, you're analytical; rounded, you're social, empathetic; lots of upside-down loops, you're creative, self-protective; threaded, hard to read, you're diplomatic and evasive. How to tell a forgery: too calculated. Procrastinators: only cross their t's to the left. Sassi charges $75 for a basic analysis and $150 for a full behavioral profile. Or you can hire her for a handwriting "party" ($150 per hour).
