-It's important because handwriting analysis should consider a variety of factors for a comprehensive understanding. Relying on one aspect can lead to inaccurate conclusions about a person's character.
What is the standard margin size in the United States according to the video?
-The standard margin size in the United States is one inch by one inch, creating a border around the entire page.
How does Leah divide the page for margin analysis?
-Leah divides the page into thirds, with the left section representing the past, the middle representing the present, and the right section representing the future.
What does it indicate if a person's writing consistently moves towards the future side of the page?
-If a person's writing consistently moves towards the future side, it suggests that they are very excited about the future, goal-oriented, and may act hastily without fully considering consequences.
What does margin drift signify according to the video?
-Margin drift, where the writing starts further back on each new line, indicates fear, reservation, or nervousness, suggesting that the person is holding back from moving forward.
How does crashing into the margin reflect on a person's understanding of their resources?
-Crashing into the margin, or not leaving enough space, can indicate a person's inability to understand their resources, often thinking they have enough when they do not.
What might using up every square inch of the page suggest about a person's mindset?
-Using up every square inch of the page might suggest that a person has a racing mind, or that they are very stingy and meticulous about their use of resources like time and money.
What does it mean if a person's writing consistently lines up perfectly with the bottom margin line?
-If a person's writing consistently lines up perfectly with the bottom margin line, it may indicate a desire for perfection and an obsessive need to keep everything neat and orderly.
What does writing over the red line, or the line of society, suggest about a person?
-Writing over the red line suggests that a person makes their own rules and does not typically follow societal norms or listen to others, often doing what is best for them.
What unique characteristic is revealed by someone who writes in the middle of the page?
-Writing in the middle of the page indicates that a person is very much in the present, possibly disconnected from their past and future, and may feel alone or desire to be the center of attention.
How do the baselines in handwriting relate to a person's connection to reality?

📝 Understanding Handwriting Margins
Leah introduces the concept of analyzing handwriting margins as an indicator of a person's character and behavior. She emphasizes the importance of considering multiple factors in handwriting analysis and not making assumptions based on a single aspect. The standard margin is discussed as one inch by one inch, and the page is metaphorically divided into thirds representing past, present, and future. Leah provides examples of how margin drift can indicate a person's attitude towards the future, such as being goal-oriented or cautious. She also touches on the implications of writing too close to the margins, suggesting a lack of understanding of one's resources or an overemphasis on the present.
🤔 The Significance of Margin Usage in Handwriting
This paragraph delves deeper into the analysis of margin usage, explaining how the alignment of writing with the page's margins can reflect a person's approach to life. Leah discusses the implications of writing that is perfectly aligned with the margin, suggesting a possible obsession with perfection. She also addresses the use of the entire page width, indicating a self-centered or overwhelming personality. Furthermore, she explores writing that disregards the page's lines, suggesting a tendency to make one's own rules and a potential disregard for societal norms. Leah also mentions the significance of writing in the middle of the page, which may indicate a focus on the present and a desire for attention, possibly leading to feelings of isolation.
🔍 Observing Patterns in Handwriting Margins
Leah concludes the video script by encouraging viewers to closely examine their handwriting for patterns that may not be immediately apparent due to familiarity. She acknowledges the controversial nature of graphology and invites differing opinions. Leah also hints at the broader implications of handwriting analysis, suggesting that variability in handwriting might indicate inconsistency in a person's actions. She offers a list of recommended books for further exploration of handwriting analysis and invites viewers to share their thoughts and experiences in the comments section.

Transcripts
hello everyone my name is Leah and today were gonna be talking about margins there are many
different factors that go into analyzing a person's handwriting, margins is just one of them,
so like anything in handwriting you need to lookout aa variety of factors before you say
one thing or another about a person's character based on their handwriting etc you know the drill.
can't just make a hypothesis on someone based on one aspect of their writing or another you have
to look at the gestalt. also there are numerous exceptions and different factors but regardless
of all that today were going to be going over margins. its highly requested, also margins I
find is an incredible incredible way to tell alot about a person just based on that one aspect of
their handwriting so the first this im gonna say about margins - this is gonna be my thesis
statement of the day- how you treat the page is how you treat the world. that sounds very dramatic
but its very true. so the standard margin at least in the United States, let me know in the comments
if its different n your country, is one inch by 1 inch - basically a one inch border around the
entire page maybe your thinking is this different with lined paper or non lined paper? the concepts
im gonna be saying in this video for the most part apply whether your using lined paper or not so
basics- basics about margin analysis is divide the page into 3rds. this section represents past,
the middle represents the present this part represents the future, now Why Leah?
well thats because think about it this way. so your writing across the page, you start here,
you end here ideally. - at least for English- and so that means your going towards the future.
so here's the past, here's the future. ok let me show you this in a practical sense. just keep this
in mind because this is basically the basics. so lets look at an example like this. where the
margin is moving forward. so basically this person is in general on this side. or the future side.
basically this means this person is very excited about the future this
person is moving towards the future so much so that when they go back to the next line,
their hand is moving forward their hand is moving forward.
this is a very dramatic example, usually its a lot more subtle than this and it still indicates
a person who is executed about the future is very goal oriented. this example that im giving you is
a little dramatic its a little intense. especially when you couple that with the margin drift aswell.
usually when your this far crashing into that right margin it indicates hastiness, not really
thinking about the consequences of your actions just being so hast to go towards the future that
you dont really put in as much thought as maybe you should. and then lets look at the opposite
where the line is creeping backwards- I gave you a little more subtle example where the margin drift
isn't as intense. but basically the concept of margin drift is when you go to the next line, its
starting a little bit further back. your hand is moving backwards it indicates fear, reservation,
you're nervous. something is really holding you back from moving forward and being your
true spontaneous self. somethings making you a little more cautious. and sometimes this can
be situation specific, like if someone is writing about something that they are particularly nervous
about, then their page its gonna be more left side dominant in where their margin is, but if a person
has this consistent pattern and this goes with all the patterns that im gonna talk about today,
if this person has this specific pattern, it means they're much more comfortable with what they're
familiar with. they're much more comfortable really putting a lot of thought into what they
to before like stampeding into the future. going back to this one, there is also the extreme of
crashing into the margin- not having enough space. in sheila Lowe's book "decoding handwriting" she
describes this as a persons inability to basically understand their resources. they
think they're gonna have enough space but they dont. and sometimes this happens every once and a
while in which case dont worry about it but if its happening constantly , it indicates someone who
they dont understand that , no sir you dont have enough money to do that or no you dont have enough
time to finish that assignment, or not you dont have enough time. they think they can make it
work but they dont have a good understanding of their resources. a lot of different graphology
books will argue that how you use your margin is how you use time and money, for example,
theres the extreme of using up every square inch of the page often this indicates someone who-
A: has a super racing mind. or B: is really "cheap". thats not my favorite word to use
but yeah someone who very very stingy, about their money like Iwas looking at
someone's handwriting and his note book- every single square inch was used. and Iasked him,
are your good?are you getting enough money? are you eating enough? are you
struggling financially? and hes like:no im fine, however I do have a buc=nch of spreadsheets that
say exactly how my money is spent. so using your resources to their entirely.
hopefully all of this is making sense. so margins. in general people will line things up wit the
red line, keep going until the blue line, maybe a little past it, but in general, attempting to line
things up handing enough space to have that one inch margin on this side. and starting here and
that normal- people are like "oh Leah my margin isn't totally normal here" thats fine. this margin
its fine for it to be irregular. its actually more of a concern if it perfectly lines up with the
blue line or the faint outline, whatever- this margin, thats more of a concern because thats
actually really hard to do. to perfectly line up your sentences and words to finish at that line,
thats really hard to do that usually indicates someone who is really really trying to be perfect
all the time. they're trying to make everything look super neat a little obsessively so if you're
a person like this, um... its ok to relax. thats what Iwould say to you. so that perfectly lined
up with the blue line, what about this margin here so they're also the example of someone who
moved across the entire page. and this can happen on unlinked paper as well, they're using up the
entirety of the width of the page. not necessarily using the entire page, but using the entire
WIDTHof the page. usually that indicates someone who is a little over whelming they kind of suck
out the like in a room that sounds a little mean but its because everything is for them everything
is about them and they're using up everything and thats why they can be a little bit overwhelming to
be around because they kindof dont leave space for other people's opinions also when you write
over the red line - often times graphologists will describe this line as the line of society
because you start at this line and you keep going. but if you write over this line, alot of people
who do this are he types of people that make their own rules. they dont usually follow the
rules of society. they kinda- hey amber. they can be the types of people who won't listen to others
nd just dod whats best for them. similarly there are people who disregard this line,
and there are ppl that disregard these lines. so people who disregard these lines of the page
entirely - kids similar. this indicates a person who really makes their own rules.
they do things their way. and this can result in rally really creative people , really smart,
ingenious people sometimes however, they'll do what best for them at the expense of others.
so take that how you will. another unique example usually you'll see this more on ppl if they're
writing on an unlined piece of paper versus a lined paper its people who write in the middle
of the page. very interesting bc they're not using the past they're not using the future so they're
really all in the present. meaning they're very much wrapped up in their day to day life also
its the center of the page so they do want to be the center of attention so they're disconnected
from their past, they're disconnected from their future, so often ppl who write like this
do feel very alone. bc they're not really connected to anything other than where they're
at today so- oh yes I was talking about how ppl treat the lines themselves of the page. these
blue horizontal lines so we talked a little about the people who disregard those lines of the page,
ok lets talk about some other examples of that even though that doesn't really fit in the
category of margins, I think its still pretty important. here's an example so you see with
this one, this one has words that are constantly above that line of the paper, do you see that how
it floats above that baseline, so the baseline in writing- im not gonna go too deep into baselines
bc this is a vid about margins, but baseline it indicates your reality thats why if you have a
really wavy baseline it indicates someone who's a bit ungrounded - meow- AMBER please. ppl that
have lines that are constantly above the line and if its not consistent than its not the case,
but if they're above the page it indicates someone who's not really connected to their reality. hi.
then we do have the flip side- of words that cling to the Iines of the paper. this person they're
clinging to their reality. they're holding on really tightly theres some tension in that. theres
some anxiety in that. hopefully I didn't miss anything. ive been studying handwriting for a very
long time so my sources are kindof a compilation of everything ive learned over the years but ill
list some books that I really like that have some good things to say about margins in the
description. let me know in the comments if any of these speak to you if you have any consistent
patterns, also ppl often say- "oh my handwriting doesn't do any of these" well firstly, look a
little closer, bc often you do have a pattern you just dont see it bc your look at your handwriting
all the time so its hard for you to make out the pattern, but in general if you have any sort of
massive variability in your handwriting usually that type of variability indicates a writer
that you can't count of to act consistently. ok if youre new here my name is ;Leah also graphology is
very controversial so if you dont like this video, that ok! its ok. aright see you later SUBSCRIBE!!!
