Generally speaking, the intellectual is more attracted by cosmic ideas than by the reality of the material world. En­dowed with a clear mind and an alert intellect, adapting him­self to the requirements of life, he will develop already pioneered sciences through his discoveries which open the way for new horizons. His handwriting reveals his deductive analytical or intuitive ability, though the intellectual who possesses such a quality of mind will frequently have an un­quiet nature. His handwriting exhibits more speed and sweep, with a tendency to simplify letters. He will be able, through his penetration, to solve many of the different prob­lems of life. A smaller and more concentrated style of writ­ing betrays an emphasis on detail, observation, and acquisi­tiveness for knowledge.

We will now examine the handwritings of an engineer, a lawyer, a naturalist, and a physician, men whose professions necessitate practice as well as theory. Preponderance of the upper zone is expressed in the following writings of philos­ophers, mathematicians, and scientists, indicating their bias toward the world of theory and ideology, and away from that of material things.

Sample 65. Here we see the handwriting of an engineer who is endowed with an alert intellect, and well able to solve practical problems. He writes with more speed than beauty. His rapid and fluid writing shows an able and penetrating intellect. Simplified letters coupled with a rightward angle picture the writer's objectivity; he will perceive the essentials of a problem, and pursue it to a logical conclusion.

Sample 66. This naturalist bases his researches on facts; his knowledge and discoveries have their foundation in actual experience as well as in scientific theory. This script betrays a clear and objective mind through the use of the rightward angle, evenly spaced words, and simplified letters. His use of very small letters shows that his intelligence has, through patient researches, learned how to take cognizance of the new ideas discovered in his material.

Samples 67, 68 and 69 contain well-connected letters which reveal the logic and deduction of versatile intellects. 68 is a sample of the handwritng of a geologist, and 69 of a physi­cian. The somewhat disconnected writing in Sample 67 mir­rors the analytic mind of a chemist whose researches are of a detailed nature.

Sample 70. This handwriting, that of a lawyer, exhibits a larger and more disconnected script. Some letters, however, are skillfully connected, betraying the writer's intuitive as well as deductive powers. The continual change in slant un­covers his dexterity in solving difficult problems.

The connection of i dots and a's with the following let­ters reveals a deductive and executive ability. Thread-like terminals always indicate diplomacy, caution, and experience in life, while pointed terminals disclose a critical sense, and well-spaced words a clearness of thought. Disconnected writ­ing with a skillful connection of single letters reveals an in­tuitive mind, and also an executive ability.

The small and regular letters of Sample 71 reveal an in­tellect which has a tendency to systematize. Exact and minute formation of letters reflects the patient and precise work of this coleopterist who collects his beetles with painstaking ex­actness, and systematizes and classifies his work with great care. It is interesting to note that some of his letters are shaped like small beetles.

Sample 72. The upper zone predominates in the hand­writing of this philosopher. We notice some letters climbing to the higher sphere, while a graceful sway in the formation of the small letters reveals the writer's richness of ideas. The disconnected letters uncover a mind accustomed to a scrutiny of abstract systems. He is especially interested in philosophy and religious philosophy. High flying i dots reflect idealism and show that his spiritual life dominates his materialistic self.

Sample 73. This handwriting reflects the personal integrity of an independent and original mind, and the disconnected letters show the writer's intuition and reveal the fine soul of an artist. The writer specializes in Asiatic art, music and culture. We notice frequent arabesques in his handwriting, a symbol of his engrossing studies. If the page is turned up­side down, these flourishes become even more apparent.
