Recently I was on an airport shuttle bus with a bunch of people returning from vacation. The conversation was constant and boisterous. I heard a woman out of the blue say, “Hey, how could Tiger Woods cheat on that beautiful wife of his?” A loud male voice responded, “Because he can.” The small crowd roared in laughter.

This simple answer has an echo of truth in it. But I have another question. How can you tell if someone is going to cheat? I mean, does someone have a ‘cheating’ personality?

One way to find out is through handwriting analysis. Experts in this field are able to decipher an individual’s character by examining their handwriting. Of course, handwriting may not tell us the exact reason, but it can offer insight into personality.

For example, someone who displays negative traits such as deceit, evasiveness and secrecy in their handwriting but has no offsetting controls, such as dignity, pride and loyalty, may well be a person who has a deep, dark secret.

With handwriting analysis there are some caveats. The handwriting sample is actually a snapshot of who that person is at the time it was written. And, if not careful, personal biases can influence the accuracy of the handwriting interpretation.

With all of this in mind, if you suspect your husband of cheating, perhaps handwriting analysis could reveal his propensity towards infidelity.

At the time of this post Sheila Lowe, one of America’s foremost expert handwriting analysts and the author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Handwriting Analysis, has an interesting summary called Tiger Woods’ Handwriting Tells on Him on her website. You might want to have a peak.
