8 Forms of Connection
How do you relate to other people ?
What are your comunation skills like ?
You may have more than one form of connection on this page.
The diagram illustrates the different ways the letter 'n' is written. Some-
times these movements can be found in the letter 'm'. Arcade move-
ments can also be found in the letters 'u' and 'w' which then look like
'n' and 'm'.
The different forms of connection show the ways in which one person
relates to another. Writers with copy book connections in their writing
after having left school, show their desire to adhere to prescribed
methods of doing things, and of relating to other people.
Angularity in writing looks a bit like a saw blade; very rigid and
cutting. People who write in this way will also be rigid and uncompro-
mising, cutting their way through life in order to achieve goals.
Arcades are like arches that one can shelter under for protection from
the weather. Arcade writers will be very protective of their personal life
so that others don't interfere with it.
Garlands are very much the opposite of arcades. Garlands, like cups,
are open to receive experiences. Like children, these writers are young at
heart and adapt easily to situations, giving off warmth and friendliness.
The wavy line is opposite to angularity. There are curves instead of
angles. Wavy line writers will be very flexible and compromising in their
attitudes to others.
Thread writing is like wavy line writing, but to the extreme. There is a
lack of down-strokes which indicates a lack of firmness in the writers'
lives. They are too easily influenced by others, and because of this they
may find themselves in awkward situations. They do have the ability to
extract themselves from situations, no matter how involved.
When people have a mixture of a few different types of connection,
they will be able to relate to others in more ways than one, which will
help them to deal with a variety of people

Correct Behavior
You like to do
everything correctly in your own way. You have a talent
for keeping to
conventions and socially get on with people in a friendly
way. However, if
you find that the social customs of the time or place are
not what you are used to, then
by behaving as you usualy do, you will be
seen by others to be rather
unorthodox, because you do not always go
along with their commonly
accepted ideas and beliefs. You have respect
for intelligent rules and
regulations associated with your work and other
conditions.
Being
conscientious and co-operative, you usually keep to the
prescribed
routine methods in the course of repetitive tasks.
CASE HISTORY:
I have a friend
who has copy book connection style writing. She works in
an Estate
Agent's office and spends most of her time filling in forms and
addressing
envelopes. She is able to do these repetitive tasks quite easily
and enjoys the
work. This is because her work and her inner nature
correspond, an
example of a round peg in a round hole can be applied
here. Also,
being naturally friendly, she is able to take care of the
customers
without any difficulty.

INTERPRETATION
Angularity
Straight to the
Point
You are straight
to the point and people know where they stand with
you. You are
reliable and independent at work. There is a tendency to be
hard and
uncompromising, and you will undertake difficult tasks, as you
do not mind
overcoming difficulties. The forcefulness of your personality
manifests itself from time to time by a desire to impose your will on your
environment.
Often you are
tense and disinclined to adapt yourself to other people.
You adopt an 'either/ or' and 'yes or no' attitudes to life and are unwilling to
compromise. In
this regard you need to guard against entertaining
destructive
inner attitudes or resentment towards certain individuals,
organized bodies
or disappointing experiences of the past.
Positively, your attitude of
independence is not without self-reliance in its
idealistic outlook. Most of
the time you put the head before the heart, and
can have strong
inclinations towards ethical problems.
When dealing
with others you always like to be correct, and are
inclined to
argue the point. You know what you want and usually get it.
Mentally you are
alert, penetrating and analytical. Sometimes your
critical sense
comes to the surface in a sense of humor, which is not
without a tinge
of sarcasm.
Your claims to leadership are supported by a strong sense of
obligation
and responsibility. You have the ability to solve problems
and overcome
difficulties. Generally you like to be austere and
sometimes turn your back
on too much ease and comfort in your immediate
surroundings and
environment.
NOTES:
Angular writers
can be efficient and hardworking. Their straight to the
point way of
dealing with people and situations enable them to achieve
what they set
out to do,
However, their
lack of flexibility when handling other people, gives
rise to tension
and stress, which can lead to ulcers and other stress
related
diseases, if not corrected in time.
Great benefit
can be achieved by such writers learning how to relax
and let go of
the tension and stress. Set aside just a little time on a
regular basis to attend to your inner life.
There are many
methods of meditation, yoga, etc., that would enable
them to let go
of tension. It is best for such writers to find something
with which they
would feel at home, and which would work for them.

INTERPRETATION
Arcade
Secretive
You force
yourself to adapt to outside environmental conditions,
although this is
not a spontaneous or an authentic gesture. You do not
disclose your
inner thoughts and life to other people, as you believe you
are frequently
misunderstood. Therefore you will not like being asked
personal
questions. You could say that you draw a circle of protection
around yourself
so that intruders are kept at bay.
You can be calm
and have a calculating attitude, showing yourself to
be formal and
polite building yourself up according to your idea of an
ideal person.
NOTES:
Arcade writers
tend to be formal and polite. When this method of
communication is
used, others find it difficult to speak to such writers
on a personal
level. There are things such writers wish to keep quiet
about, be they
good or bad, for their own protection.
Sometimes the
experience can be like coming across a closed door.
Garland writers,
on the other hand, have an open door and a warm
welcome.

Garlands
Adjustable
You are
concerned more with the spirit of the law than the law itself.
Hence you
exhibit an adjustable and easy-going nature. You have the
ability to relax
at will and feel at home in the world. Moreover, these
attitudes are
manifest by your desire and ability to avoid friction and
conflict, and to
be patient and tolerant.
You can adapt
easily to change of circumstances and environment, as
well as being
open to spiritual, emotional and social impressions and
influences.
Warmth
With your
inherent natural capacity for warmth, responsiveness and
devotion, as
well as being sensitive to the atmosphere, you are actively
ready to
recognize and help others, hence a person of considerable
charm and
attractiveness.
However, on one hand you have creative ability in your
power of expression,
but on the other hand you often experience
difficulty in getting down to tasks,
unless under pressure from outside
influences, so you need to resist the
temptation to take things too
easily.
In a nutshell,
there is a tendency to avoid unnecessary involvement
and stress,
because you require a smooth and even life to enable you
to be ready to meet and establish a link with others, and to be helpful
to them.
NOTES:
People with
garlands are very open, warm heart-ed, and can be playful at
times. Because
of this they can be good at looking after children or
people who need
love and affection.

INTERPRETATION
Wavy Line
Adaptable
You are very
diplomatic and can deal with almost any kind of person.
Your attitude of
an all out compromise allows you to be very adaptable,
in so far that
you wish to adapt yourself at almost any cost. Outwardly,
therefore, you
are friendly and gentle. You mix very easily and can be at
home in any
group of people.
Compromising
You have the
ability and preference to solve problems and disagree-
ments by way of
compromise, rather than by argument and dispute.
Being open to
suggestions and highly impressionable, you are flexible
in an extremely
versatile and changeable manner. Your tendency to
evade decisions
can be overcome by being more positive and decisive.
NOTES:
Sometimes it can
be very difficult to know where one stands with wavy
line writers.
They can be very warm, charming and inviting, but their
tendency to evade decisions, ie. not saying what they feel, regarding
their personal lives can be very misleading to others.

Avoidance of
conflict
You generally
follow the line of least resistance and the total avoidance
of conflict.
Being versatile and flexible you are able to extricate yourself
from the most
involved situations.
Hasty conclusions
You are inclined
to make hasty judgments, thereby coming to hasty
conclusions. It
would be better if you resisted the urge to hurry too
much.
You are rather
sensitive and susceptible to outside influences, so you
need to develop
a capacity for greater firmness in your life, in order to
make decisions
and keep to them. In this way you can become more
positive.
CASE HISTORY:
I had a landlord in Dublin who had thready writing. He was
a likable chap
but it
took quite some time to learn how to deal with him.
The front room was badly in need of decoration as the wallpaper
was
falling off.
I talked to the landlord about this and he would say, "Yes, yes,
I'1l see to
that". A month passed and there he was again to collect the
rent. The front
room was still untouched."I can't stop now", he would
say, signing the
rent book, "I'm in a bit of a rush, I'll talk to you
later".
.
A few
more months passed with him picking up the rent and
dis-
appearing as
fast as possible, it was impossible to pin him down. After a
while it became
clear that he wasn't going to do anything about the front
room.
So, I went
out, bought the paint and decorated the room myself.
The next time he
came round for the rent, I showed him the room, and
gave him the
receipts for paint, brushes and a bit extra for the labor, as
part
payment for the rent. The landlord was
quite satisfied with the
arrangement, as
he hadn't had to do anything himself. After that the
kitchen and the
bathroom were repainted as well.

INTERPRETATION
Mixture of
Forms of Connection
Can deal with
most types of people
Being interested
in experiencing new horizons in life, you adapt yourself
easily to
different situations. You can deal with most types of people
very
successfully by, as it were, putting on different hats. When each
character trait
in turn comes from the subconscious to the conscious
mind, you
identify with it completely. Thus your mode of approach will
be very
different when coming into contact with different people.
You have the
ability to be instantaneous in your improvisation. There
are times,
however, when you tend to be undecided and abandon your
opinions and
reverse your attitude unexpectedly between two contra-
dictory points
of view.
NOTES:
When three or
more different types of connection are seen in the same
script, this is
known as a mixture of the forms of connection.
With this style
of writing, the writers are able to be very adaptable and
flexible when
handling different types of people. Therefore, they can
make great
social workers or do well in any job that requires communi-
cation with a
wide variety of people. If the writing is on the large size as
well, the acting
profession may well appeal to such people, due to their
ability to
express themselves (large writing) in so many different ways (a
mixture of
connections).
