Most people with a severe leftward slant have some type of childhood trauma they have yet to work through. Since we didn't actually "see the writing", we can't tell if she actually has a hard left emotional slant, but if so... she has issues with trust and it is likely rooted in childhood.

Dorothy has withdrawn into herself. She is reserved and shows her feelings only at times of great anger, extreme passion, or tremendous stress. Dorothy is an introvert. She makes decisions based on logic, therefore she is rarely impulsive. She doesn't find any need for expressing her emotions. In fact, she probably sees this emotional expression as an unnecessary waste of time. She has a hard time relating to an extreme extrovert, although it is common for her to be attracted to one. Many people do not understand Dorothy; it is difficult for them to really know how Dorothy feels. Dorothy enjoys being alone, and probably prefers working alone. Working with her hands is a pleasure.

Dorothy's basic nature is to look out for herself first. Although she can and does feel emotions, perhaps as deeply as anyone, she just almost always harbors them inside.

The first time someone angers Dorothy, she probably will not say anything to that person at that time. However, she will mentally keep track of everything this person does wrong to her until she cannot hold her emotions inside any longer. Then; Boom! Dorothy will cloud up and rain all over them. And she will never regret telling someone off, because she knew what she was saying the entire time. She won't impulsively tell someone off.

Emotional stories will not sway Dorothy. She thinks totally with judgment, first considering every situation by the effect it will have on her.

Dorothy needs space and time alone. She will be much more efficient if given a job alone, rather than being surrounded by people.

 People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Dorothy doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

 Dorothy will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Dorothy believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.

 Dorothy will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

 According to the inputted data, Dorothy has a stinger shape inside the oval of her a, d, or c. This might be hard to visualize, but if this little hooklike shape is present, then Dorothy has an unresolved "issue" with strong members of the opposite gender. An occasional appearance of this stroke could indicate a simple "loves a mental challenge" which can manifest in playful linguistic conversations and being attracted to a lover who isn't always available. However, if the stroke is severe, this means the individual has unresolved anger at the oppostive gender - which usually started with the person's childhood relationship with the opposite gender parent (Mom or Dad). If the writer is a woman she will be attracted to strong challenging men. If the writer is a man, he will find the woman who is "hard to get" the most attractive. In a nutshell, people with stingers in their writing tend to have challenges in their romantic relationships.

 In reference to Dorothy's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Dorothy slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Dorothy can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

 Dorothy's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Dorothy that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Dorothy also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Dorothy is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Dorothy's self-concept is artificially low. Dorothy will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Dorothy to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Dorothy is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

 Dorothy is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

 Dorothy is having some confusion in her physical life. She is examining the past to give her answers about some of her physical desires. She may be trying to find a balance between her philosophical beliefs and her natural physical desires.

 Dorothy is constantly disappointed when trying to reach success. She works very hard, perhaps harder than most, then just before succeeding, something happens that keeps her from success. Often, Dorothy changes to a second project just before the first one is finished, thus failing to complete the first project. Sometimes she changes because she feels she needs a different challenge. Dorothy feels dejected. This feeling relates to her failures. This trait is very important in a working situation and in a relationship. She must be handled in a very special way to get the most work from her or to make a relationship last. Concerning this trait, personality modification is available to change her life.

 Dorothy has a very unusual lower zone y loop. If the data input is correct, Dorothy's y or g is large and has triangle shape to the lower loop. This is not a common trait, but the implications are very interesting. As you begin to study handwriting analysis, you will learn any loop indicates imagination. This lower loop indicates the amount of imagination Dorothy has regarding sex and physical things. Her lower zone stroke is large, so her sexual imagination is large and open. Furthermore, because the loop has a triangle shape, this indicates a particular curiosity with certain aspects of sexuality. In a nutshell, Dorothy is open to some very new ideas sexually and is willing to try anything once. I'd say Dorothy is quite a dynamic and playful lover. Watch out world!

 For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Dorothy has left lots of white space on the all four borders of the paper. Dorothy fills up just the center area of the page. If this is true, then Dorothy has a particular shyness toward people and a fear of moving too fast in any direction. In some cultures, respecting people, rules, and adhering to protocol are ways of life.

The right side of the page represents the future and the left side represents the past. Dorothy seems a bit stuck in the middle, afraid to take action.

Dorothy seems to have a fear of looking bad or of crossing boundries. It will be easy to work with Dorothy on a team, because Dorothy will usually follow the rules. However, this desire to respect the boundries can often be construed as a lack of confidence and people will walk over Dorothy if she is not careful.
