Q & A

What is the main purpose of the video?

The main purpose of the video is to analyze handwriting samples from different 'alters' within four systems with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) to understand the variations and similarities in their writing styles.

Why did the video creator decide to analyze multiple systems instead of just one?

The creator chose to analyze multiple systems to provide a broader perspective on what DID or OSDD systems' handwriting looks like, avoiding the assumption that one system's writing patterns represent all.

What does the creator mean by 'handwriting rhythm'?

Handwriting rhythm refers to the amount of tension in the muscles that manifests in the writing, which can indicate emotional tension and is related to pressure, slant, uniformity, and angularity in handwriting.

How does the creator plan to approach the analysis of the handwriting samples?

The creator plans to compare the samples by placing all alters' writing next to each other, focusing on the differences in writing rhythm and other traits, while noting that muscle memory may influence consistent aspects like zones and spatial arrangements.

What is the creator's stance on their expertise in analyzing handwriting?

The creator acknowledges they are not a professional or a scientist but has experience and knowledge in handwriting analysis, and they aim to share the traits they notice and what they indicate.

Why does the creator mention not being a professional?

The creator mentions not being a professional to set the expectation that their analysis is based on personal experience and knowledge, not formal education or scientific research.

What is the significance of the creator comparing the writing of 'Florida' and 'Noah'?

The comparison of 'Florida' and 'Noah' is significant because they have very similar graphological traits, yet there are slight differences that could indicate different emotional states or behaviors.

What does the creator suggest about the 'Felon's Claw' formation in handwriting?

The creator suggests that the 'Felon's Claw' formation, when found in the middle zone of handwriting, might indicate self-sabotage or guilt related to day-to-day communication rather than sexual guilt, as traditionally associated with the lower zone.

How does the creator describe the writing of the alter 'Blank'?

The creator describes 'Blank's' writing as dramatic with heavy pressure, indicating intense emotions or energy, but also suggests signs of insecurities, depression, and self-directed violence rather than outward aggression.

What is the creator's approach to determining which alter is the most responsible based on the handwriting samples?

The creator bases the determination of responsibility on the presence of a rigid rhythm, lack of slant, and stable baselines and slants, concluding that 'Tessa' appears to be the most responsible based on these traits.

What is the creator's view on the potential for future analysis of ADHD and Tourette's handwriting samples?

The creator expresses interest in potentially analyzing handwriting samples of individuals with ADHD and Tourette's in the future to identify any recurring patterns, as they have not done so extensively before.

📝 Analyzing Handwriting of DID Systems

The video script introduces a comprehensive analysis of handwriting samples from four different systems with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). The creator discusses their selection process for samples, which includes personal interest, audience suggestions, and direct submissions from individuals with DID. The goal is to provide a broader understanding of DID systems' handwriting, emphasizing the importance of not generalizing from a single case. The creator acknowledges the limitations of their analysis, stating they are not a scientist and do not claim the analysis to be an official experiment. They also mention the inclusion of samples from alters with ADHD and Tourette's, noting the potential for future videos exploring these conditions further. The analysis will focus on the rhythm of the handwriting, which is believed to reflect the emotional state and muscular tension of the writer.

🔍 Variations in Handwriting Rhythm Among DID Alters

This paragraph delves into the analysis of the handwriting rhythm, which is described as the amount of tension in the muscles as they affect writing pressure, slant, uniformity, and angularity. The creator observes significant variations in rhythm among the alters, suggesting these differences may be linked to the distribution of trauma within the DID system. The paragraph also discusses the concept of dissociative disorders creating amnesia barriers, leading to different alters holding varying levels of trauma. The creator theorizes that the most noticeable differences in handwriting are in rhythm rather than other aspects like letter formations. They also speculate on the personality traits of certain alters, such as responsibility and unpredictability, based on their handwriting traits. The paragraph concludes with a brief mention of the potential for self-sabotage and guilt indicated by specific handwriting traits, such as the 'felon's claw' formation.

10:05

🌪 The Intense and Dramatic Handwriting of an Alter

The final paragraph focuses on the handwriting of a particular alter named 'Blank,' characterized by heavy pressure and dramatic letter formations. The creator interprets the heavy pressure as an indicator of intense energy expenditure, potential violent tendencies, insecurities, and depression. They note the lack of capitalization, low t-bars, smaller size of the writing, and a pessimistic baseline as signs of these emotional states. However, the creator suggests that any violent tendencies are more likely directed inward rather than at others, indicating that this alter may be a greater threat to themselves than to others. The paragraph ends on a note of concern for the well-being of the individual behind the handwriting sample.

Keywords

💡Handwriting Analysis

Handwriting Analysis, also known as graphology, is the study of the physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting to assess a person's personality, emotions, and abilities. In the video, the main theme revolves around analyzing handwriting samples from individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) to understand the variations among different 'alters' within the same person. The script mentions comparing the rhythm, pressure, and slant of the writing to draw conclusions about the emotional states and behaviors of the alters.

💡Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Dissociative Identity Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states (alters) within an individual. The video aims to explore how the handwriting of different alters within a person with DID may differ, providing insights into their unique characteristics. The script discusses how DID systems may exhibit different handwriting patterns due to the distribution of trauma and memories among alters.

💡Alters

In the context of DID, 'alters' refer to the separate and distinct identities or personalities that reside within a single person. The video script discusses analyzing the handwriting of different alters to understand the variations in their writing rhythm, pressure, and letter formations, which can provide clues about their emotional states and behaviors.

💡Writing Rhythm

Writing rhythm refers to the pattern and flow of a person's handwriting, which can indicate the amount of tension in the muscles used for writing. The script uses the concept of writing rhythm to differentiate between the alters' handwriting, suggesting that the rhythm can reflect the emotional tension each alter may be experiencing.

💡Muscular Tension

Muscular tension in handwriting is related to the pressure applied while writing and can be indicative of the writer's emotional state. The video script suggests that variations in muscular tension among the alters' handwriting could be a significant factor in distinguishing their unique personalities and emotional responses.

💡Handwriting Traits

Handwriting traits are the specific characteristics of a person's writing, such as letter formations, slant, and baseline consistency. The script discusses how certain traits, like long upward slanting bars or angular formations, can be indicative of personality aspects like impulsivity or thoughtfulness.

💡Felon's Claw

The term 'Felon's Claw' is an old graphological term used to describe a specific formation in handwriting, often associated with a sense of guilt or self-sabotage. In the script, it is mentioned in relation to the handwriting of one of the alters, suggesting a possible inner conflict or guilt in their day-to-day interactions.

💡ADHD and Tourette's

The script mentions that one of the systems being analyzed has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Tourette's, which are neurological conditions that can affect a person's behavior and motor skills. The video aims to explore if there are any recurring handwriting patterns associated with these conditions, although the script acknowledges that more research is needed in this area.

💡Emotional Tension

Emotional tension refers to the psychological stress or strain a person may be experiencing. The script suggests that the variations in the writing rhythm among the alters could be indicative of differing levels of emotional tension within the DID system.

💡Responsibility

In the context of the video, responsibility is assessed through handwriting analysis to determine which alter may be more reliable or in control. The script discusses the handwriting traits of Tessa and Zoe, suggesting that Tessa's more restrained and rigid rhythm might indicate a higher level of responsibility.

💡Unpredictability

Unpredictability in handwriting is suggested by erratic slants and baselines, indicating a lack of consistency or stability. The script identifies Florida, Noah, and Vincent as the most unpredictable alters based on their handwriting traits, with Vincent showing the most extreme changes.

Highlights

The video is a marathon analysis of handwriting samples from individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

The creator aims to analyze multiple DID systems to avoid making generalizations about DID handwriting characteristics.

Four different DID systems provided 4-6 samples each, totaling over 21 samples for analysis.

The analysis is not an official experiment and the creator does not hold any scientific degrees.

Handwriting rhythm, related to muscle tension, is a key focus in the analysis.

Rhythm variations in handwriting are linked to emotional states of the individuals.

Muscle memory is suggested to influence consistent handwriting zones, size, and spacing across alters.

The creator discusses the potential link between DID, amnesia barriers, and variations in handwriting rhythm.

Different alters from the same system exhibit distinct handwriting traits, such as letter formations and baseline stability.

The analysis includes a guessing game to determine which alter might be the most responsible based on handwriting traits.

Tessa and Zoe are considered the most responsible alters due to their handwriting's stability and restraint.

Florida, Noah, and Vincent are identified as the most unpredictable alters based on erratic handwriting traits.

Noah's handwriting shows unique middle zone traits, possibly indicating guilt in day-to-day interactions.

The creator notes the dramatic and intense nature of one alter's handwriting, suggesting internal struggles.

Heavy pressure in handwriting is associated with potential insecurities, depression, and self-directed violence.

The creator emphasizes the importance of not mistaking observed traits for definitive personality descriptions.

The video concludes with a reminder that the analysis is subjective and based on the creator's experience, not professional diagnosis.

Transcripts

hello :D

I really tried filming this video but then I got overwhelmed by the samples

because This video- its gonna be a MARATHON.

please buckle up its gonna be a buffet.

its gonna be an all you can eat buffet

So I’ve been analyzing writing for a while now

usually how I pick my samples is either

from what im interested in, like my own interests,

or I look at what people suggest to me in the comments

or I look at what people tag me in on instagram

or I look at what people email me to my handwriting email

and recently ive had it recommended to me to to try analyzing a system with Dissociative identity Disorder

and see what the different alters writing in the system looks like.

and how they differ and how they are similar

And I even had a couple different systems reach out to me and send me some samples

So I’ve been collecting samples and I figured,

why analyze one system, when I can analyze 4.

each system sent me 4-6 samples from different alters

yeah I have 21+ samples to look at

I’m nervous. I’m excited. but im more excited :D

I’m gonna get handwriting fatigue.

And maybe you’re wondering, “oh LEah

if your so overwhelmed by the samples, why dont you just analyze 1 system?"

the reason why I picked to do as many systems as I could,

is because since I feel like

the majority of people have never seen what a system's writing looks like

so I dont want to just show 1 system

and the n have ppl, myself included, make the false assumption

of "oh every system's writing will exhibit these patterns"

or "every system's handwriting is gonna look like this."

so I want to give people a broader sense of what a DID system

or osdd system's writing looks like.

also my idea was If i have multiple systems,

then maybe i can point out the patterns that I see carry through to other systems.

and we can ideally have a better idea of what analyzing a system's writing is like.

does that sound good amber?

and of course these are only 4 systems

and it's just me and Amber looking at the writing today

so this isn’t like an official experiment,

and ill make that very clear to everyone watching: this is NOTan official experiment

in fact, nothing I do on my channel is an official experiment

cause I might miss traits or forget about something

im not a scientist

I dont have any degrees in anything.

I just know a lot about the traits

and im going to be sharing with you the traits that I notice

and what they would indicate to me

im describing the traits , im not necessarily describing the writer

if the traits do line up and resonate with the writer,

thats great, usually they do because

ive been doing this for a long time, I like to think I know what im doing

but if they dont, woopdeedoo its ok

im not a professional. I know my editing is pretty decent

and likes to make me look like a professional,

but I- im not a professional aaaa

Also if you like to learn more about DID or OSDD my channel is not the place for that.

I know the packet book condensed version

I won't be able to give you any deep knowledge.

please do your own research or check other channels.

but should we look at our first system?

so this is our first system and this system told me that

they have adhd and Tourette's in the email

personally I haven't looked at enough samples of writing with ADHD or tourette’s side by side to know of any recurring patterns for that

maybe I’ll try doing that in a future video

like ive looked at friend's writing with adhd, but ive never

but ive never like put a bunch of ADHD samples next to each other

and try to see if there are any recurring patterns

same with tourette's

so idk maybe ill do that in a future video but

were getting ahead of ourselves. first thing ill do

is ill put all the alters writing next to each other.

I notice the biggest differences in terms of the writing rhythmically speaking.

and what do I mean by rhythm-

its easier to see it than explain it so editing Leah:

can u show what someone with a tense jerky rhythm looks like?

Great, now can you show someone with a cautious, careful rhythm?

awesome thank u

Now can you show what a broken, unpredictable rhythm looks like?

Thank you thank you. Everyone. Round of applause for editing leah.

So its hard to describe with my words what rhythm entails,

if I HAVE to, I’d say rhythm has a lot to do with the amount of tension in the muscles

and how that manifests in the writing.

because handwriting is your brain sending a signal to your hand

alot of people in my comments are like AAAA this is full of SH%T

we just write the way we were taught to write

and is like yes to a certain extent but like your brain has to send that signal through your muscles.

so thats kind of what I mean when I say rhythm.

and How much tension a writer’s muscles have i find in my experience

mainly affects pressure, slant, uniformity or lack thereof and angularity or lack thereof.

Other handwriting analysts might disagree with me

but that's what I mean when I’m talking about handwriting in terms of its rhythm.

im talking mainly about muscular tension or lack thereof

and I feel like the amount of muscular tension a writer has,

REALLY tells you a lot about how much emotional tension they have

And when I look at the writing from this system,

I see a lot of variation in the amount of muscular tension from each alter

or another words i see a lot of variation in the writing’s rhythm,

but I will say, I don’t see as much variation in the zones, overall size, and space between lines and words.

so what I would attribute that to is probably muscle memory

like muscle memory will probably have everyone in the system

writing with the same zones, and like spatial, like between letters and words

and in this case it affects size too

but yeah im seeing the most variation in terms of muscular tension

aka the rhythm aka the writing's rhythm.

and you know when I think about what I know about did and dissociative disorders

and people in the comments PLEASE correct me if I’m speaking out of line here,

but alot of what dissociative disorders are,

and its not just this but alot of what they are is

the brain creating these barriers of amnesia so certain alters hold trauma in the system, and certain alters don’t.

or hold less or hold different trauma.

So it makes sense to me that when I look at the writing that most of the variations are in the writing’s rhythm than anything.

Like certain alters hold a lot of muscular tension, or rhythm variations,

while other alters hold relatively less tension, or if not less tension, just different tension.

like if you look at the difference between blank and Vincent

both alters clearly have a lot of tension,

but its manifested differently.

there are still are differences in latter formations though don't get me wrong.

like Vincent has very long upward slanting bars

and Noah has different angular formations in his as

that other alters dont have

but overall I see the biggest variations in the rhythm.

and the alters are still very different from each other nonetheless although they share the same body

so they still have these letter variations I mentioned,

but It does make sense to me that I’d see the MOST variation in terms of rhythm.

So that’s my current theory based on what I’m seeing so far,

ill speak a little more about the alters though.

We could play our little game where we ask questions

Wanna play? Okay

we wont play at maximum difficulty.

But first question: given the writing, who do you think is the most responsible?

For me its a fight between Tessa and Zoe.

the other alters have just a lot more letter variation

and unstable baselines and unstable slants,

which indicates that in relation to Tessa and Zoe, they’re a lot more unpredictable.

Zoe just has a really forward slant though

which would indicate impulsivity,

like, she has a lot of logical traits too so it probably isnt like a MASSIVE issue for her,

but in comparison to Tessa, Tessa has more restraint.

She has no slant which indicates head over heart,

more thoughtful person,

yeah I’d bet that Tessa is the most responsible out of all these samples.

Like she’s also got the most rigid rhythym, so she’s probably not the most flexible alter in the system,

but if I was a betting woman(which sometimes I am) I’d give the most responsible award to tessa.

Next question: who’s the most unpredictable?

this one is like medium difficulty.

Right now the contenders I’m looking at are Florida, Noah and Vincent

because they all have traits of unpredictabiliity

in their writing with the erratic slants and erratic baselines,

but I’d say Vincent has the most extreme erratic changes

in his baseline and his letter formations.

Because you see all traits that I talk about are on a spectrum.

Like the more erratic the baseline the more erratic the person same with almost every trait in the book.

but Lets quick compare and contrast florida and Noah though here

because these writers have VERY similar graphological traits,

so I’d wonder if they have the most in common out of all these alters.

I will point out the differences though incase people are wondering at home because there are differences that are there although theyre very slight.

Firstly Noah has more curve to his lowerzone formations,

while florida has more angles,

and Noah has more angles in his middle zone,

like specifically im looking at his a, its even kind of a felon’s claw thing

while Florida doesn’t really have that in their a’s.

If you don’t know what a felon’s claw is, its a really dated term honestly

the more I think about it and the more I work on graphology

different graphologists but heads on what this trait means,

butI find it usually indicates a person who self sabotage’s them ,

themselves due to this deep rooted inner guilt.

Felon’s claw formations can appear anywhere,

usually they’re in the lowerzone, (y, g,j etc.)

which would indicate some sort of sexual guilt most of the time,

but for Noah it's in his a’s which is the middle zone,

middle zone’s represent like day-to-day communication,

like how you interact with people in your day to day life

so maybe there’s some sort of guilt there?

Like in how they are in their everyday life? Instead of how they are sexually per say?

I dunno just a thought

I’ll quickly talk about blank here.

very dramatic writing uh

Writing with this much pressure takes A LOT of energy.

Heavy pressure would also indicate violent tendencies, lashing out, just being very intense for lack of a more descriptive word.

I know I mentioned violence, but I’m also seeing some indicators of insecurities and depression present in this writing aswell

with the lack of capitalizing anything, the low t bars, the slightly smaller size, the pessimistic/almost crashing baseline,

so I don’t think those potentially violent tendencies I mentioned are ever directed at anyone else.

at least intentionally

so I think this alter is more of a menace to themselves than anything.

I hope they're doing okay
