Now before I do any celebrity’s handwriting, I have to make a notation to my readers that I do not use the public persona of the individual to validate or justify the things that I see. I also don’t use the public persona and then try and find things that match what we think is the public persona. That is one thing that absolutely annoys me about most handwriting analysis books on the market.

So I’ll proceed with the analysis of Elizabeth Taylor’s handwriting and I will attempt to be as unbiased as I can. If you are a fan of Elizabeth Taylor, then you might find this both wonderful and perhaps some of it not so wonderful. Personally, I’m not a fan of Elizabeth Taylor because most of her biggest movies were before my time. However being a member of the American society, you can’t go through a grocery store without seeing her face on the cover of a magazine for the many marriages and the diseases that ultimately took her life in old age so I’m not without knowledge of her beauty at a young age and her struggles at an older age.

Let’s get to the handwriting. The first thing that you’ll notice which is a little bit unusual is her slant is extremely to the right side of the page. For those of you in our home study course; when I measured this using our emotional gauge, the results were about 50 percent DE slants and about 50 percent were E plus slants. In fact if you use the emotional gauge, you’ll find that it’s almost exactly on the line in between DE and E plus. In the past 15 years, I think it’s rare to find an E plus writer in today’s society and when you do, you find an extraordinarily expressive and interesting individual.
If you’ll refer to the graphics on this page, I’ve outlined some notes to outline the specific individual primary traits in highlighted format. After we’ve gone through some of the highlighted traits, I’ll attempt to combine them in an evaluated trait form to get a more comprehensive understanding of the personality.

The first thing you’ll notice is the long, vertical extenders that go up in the air much like a child raising his hand in the air. That is textbook definition of desire for attention. Now not everyone that has desire for attention becomes an actress or a celebrity but in this case I think it matched her personality very well.

If you move to the center of the page, you see the word ‘very’ and there is actually a very rigid upstroke with no angles in it. Although this is not common in her handwriting, I do see it once and that is the trait of resentment in the mundane area which means angry about something that’s happening now. So we have to do some research to find out when this was written but there is some unresolved anger there. The rest of the entry strokes have a hook which do not mean resentment because they’re curved and all those little hooks are desire to acquire.

If you look to the lower left-hand corner of the page, I’ve said beginning hooks equals acquisitiveness which essentially is needing, desiring material items. Most people that have this will object to the word materialistic however from an outside observer, one would say that collecting things makes them feel secure. So depending on your value in society, you might find that an offensive statement that someone has a desire to acquire or you might see it as a need for stability and substance.

If we move on to the letter ‘o’, we see that she does not have consistent o’s and this is good information to have. If half of the o’s are clear and unfettered, half of the time she is blunt and honest. If half of the time she has an outward loop to the right, that means half of the time she is secretive. So with contextual with who she gets around of how honest she is to them.

One of my favorite traits of Elizabeth Taylor’s handwriting is the persistent letter’ T’. If you look at the word “dearest” and you look at the very last word, you’ll see this ‘t’ that looks like a sheriff’s badge. It looks like the star. That is persistence. It is dominant. That is the downward slant and it is powerful which means there is no sarcasm. She gets what she wants.

If you look at some of the t-bars there are points. Some of them don’t have points. Both of them are dominant and some are domineering but I will say I can imagine she would be “hell on wheels” if she did not get her way because anyone with this much persistence, this much determination, and this much passion is going to get what they want. So I would have to think that her spouses throughout the years have seen the ugly side of Elizabeth Taylor as she is both a perfectionist and incredibly determined.

The longest enders would indicate big physical drives. I’m not sure when this handwriting sample was written but it’s amazing to have that good of a physical drive even at the age of 70 or 80 years old. So it’s not just sex drive but it’s also energy. So she was very active and obviously needed someone to keep up with her both in the sexual arena but also just in a daily activity. It wouldn’t surprise me if she got up at 5:00 AM and went to bed at midnight.

On the lower right-hand side you see the word “school.” I only see this once or twice but there is a small stinger and that of course is an issue with strong men, probably an attraction to strong, handsome men, not that we’re not attracted to handsome and beautiful people but in this case there is a slight resentment and maybe some daddy issues that go along with that because of the stinger. If you want to really know daddy issues, you have to kind of look at the capital ‘I’ and in her case the capital ‘I’ doesn’t really give us a slam dunk clue whether there are severe daddy issues or not. We do see a boat. We see some angles but it’s not enough for me to really speculate accurately.

Finally one would note that she does have quite a bit of angles in her writings. The majority of the shape of her m’s and n’s are what they call arcade. That’s a style that you’ll see in Gestalt graphology and arcade in between is the opposite of analytical but the top of the m’s are very, very pointed. When you see the top of m’s pointed, you see a high level of intellect and the ability to sort and digest information. If you see arcades at the bottom, you see a high degree of femininity. That’s one of the overall Gestalt traits of arcade writing, especially arcade writing that has this level of slant and this level of baseline; a feminine, arcade writing.

Thank you for this! I, myself, have the pointed m’s & n’s. It never changes. It is in every writing that I have of my own. After receiving the Course, I have had my Certification Course for 13 years. Parents became ill & died 5 months apart, 2 grandparents died, weeks/months thereafter, then,my child was born 12 months after mom died, had surgeries, job losses, etc. over these years. My desire “of my heart” is to be Certified to help other’s & my family. I will not give up! Hope that shows in my handwriting somewhere.
Bart, when I write a word that ENDS in “t”, it is not one you will see often. It begins at the base, swings up to form the upward t then back down &swings up & outward to the right.,,,,NOT a “t” that is crossed. I can send a sample if you wish. I NEVER see this in any handwriting that I observe. I’m like Ms. Mattingly, a late starter, however, don’t want to stop! Love Handwriting! Thanks, Diane

….Please remember me, I will be sending in tests soon. Thanks for giving me the “desires of my heart!” Diane

I was always a fan of Elizabeth Taylor but lost a bit of respect for her when she and Eddie Fisher had their affair (he was married to Debbie Reynolds–for those of you who aren’t aware of this era) 🙂 But as time went on my feelings changed because we all have our sins.
Her long lower loops (sexual/physical attainment) would seem to echo or hint at an affair in my mind, perhaps not though.
I wrote to Ms. Taylor when she was having her first hip transplant. I had had two hip transplants before her and I wanted her to know that there were only two orthopedic surgeons in the states (California, her back yard) and Pittsburgh (my backyard sort of) who were world reknown for their expertise in hip surgery.
So when I saw this sample above with the name Elizabeth in blue or purple on her writing paper I immediately recognized it from the letter she replied to me with. As she is quite expressive in her slant, she was very kind in her remarks to me as well.
I was surprised to not see something stroke wise for her magnificent philanthropy endeavors. I’m tired right now so perhaps I missed something?

is there a downward slant denoting depression???

it is a wonderful handwriting sample.. wish i had energy like hers. cheers:))

and hey i forgot to ask.. there is some overlapping of the letters of the lines above and below..and please explain me about the stinger in the letter school..
thanks 🙂
Permalink
the downward slant might because of the thing which she had taken support to write the note.. because its not uniform.. jus at the edges

see the letter ‘f’ in friday… does that mean she thinks about her past? or just
being artistic?

I noticed the t’s crossed high (high expectations for self) and the tight loop on My, showing a posessiveness. The fluidity of her writing, shows a grace and agility. When you combine those factors with her emotional bent and need to stand out, I think it indicates a person who needed to be thought of first and foremost with love, respected for she is, and to keep those she loved close and dear.

I believe the ‘boat ‘reference for daddy issues is when there is no loop.
If this is incorrect can someone clarify please?
