Ter Scott's "The Power of the Pen", Presentation Scheduled for Superior Wisconsin

Ter Scott, Handwriting Interpreter, shares a bit about The Power of the Pen, which will be presented on October 9th at the Superior Library.

I’m always excited to do a handwriting analysis for people and over time I have built a bit of a fan base of repeat “customers”. In business repeat customers come about by having good customer service, but that is only part of what I or any other graphologist has to do; we also need to offer accurate analyses.

Even though I’ve done this for years, I’m still amazed “when I get it right”. You may think that “I’m a professional (don’t try this at home)” and “I know what I’m doing” and yeah, I guess you would be right. But after telling people what their writing just “told” me, and they not only confirm it, but confirm it to be at least 98% to 100% accurate, even I’m blown away!

Graphology, which is the act of reading one’s writing; not the content but the way the actual writing is written by one’s hand, has been around probably since someone noticed the way Ug wrote on a cave wall differed from that of Ogg. Graphology is just like any other type of “art” as it is “movement frozen in time”. Not everyone thinks of themselves as an illustrator, cartoonist, or artist but most of us move a pencil or pen across a piece of paper to communicate or write our name, and it’s the way that one does it, is what I look at to determine their personality.

At my webpage, www.terscott.com/handwritingevents , I just placed an audio file of a conversation between myself and a client. This client is a repeat customer because, as she put it, I was “dead on” with my first analysis. The first specimen that she had me “read” was just a signature, so I did not have much to go on. Signatures are different than that of the rest of one’s writing and I share this in my public presentations and written publications. Having not known this client who sent the assignment to me via mail, and having only the signature of this person she wanted analyzed (plus I was informed that the signature was of someone who was recently deceased and my comments would be read by my client at the memorial service) made me very intent on doing the best job possible, but I had a situation; the handwriting had “bad” traits!

Let me back up. Handwriting does not lie; it tells me exactly what the person is; I’ve had people deny it, only to be confirmed by a spouse or another person who knew them well. I can decide to not present certain things I find (unless I’m doing a forensics case) or talk about the good thing and sugarcoat some of the “bad” traits. In most group settings, it’s my job to present my findings in a fun and entertaining way but in this case, since it was a private reading I chose to not “sugarcoat” it. But, I always preface my comments by stating that a personality trait is not necessarily “bad” or “good”; it truly is how one looks at it. For example, if one person is a “procrastinator”, they perhaps are cautious and like to take their time with things. The world requires all types of personalities to make it a fun and varied place to live.

This specimen given me showed that the person had been a “narrow-minded” person. This is not necessarily a positive trait or something that I wanted to have someone standing in front of a room of people who came to honor this person in death tell them. But I did state that being narrow minded could also mean being “focused” and accompanied my comments with other positive traits that showed great success in the person’s life.
I nervously sent back my findings expecting that I would be right on a few things (those that I could glean from this sharp and quickly drawn signature scribble) and hoped my words were not too terse. To my amazement, I soon got a call from the client to do another job for her because she could not believe just how accurate my work was. That made two of us!

Ter Scott will be presenting at the Superior Library in Superior Wisconsin on Thursday, October 9th, at 6:30 p.m. The Power of the Pen; Change how you write, and Change Your Life starts with a quick and fun introduction to what graphology is and is not, followed by a feat not attempted by any other graphologist (to his knowledge) that you’ll have to attend to find out what it is and experience. Next attendees will enjoy a fun instructional on Grapho-Therapy equipped to leave with a few tips on how to change their writing to change their life. A short Q&A follows.
