TRANSCRIPT

Rubys victim no 1 - Ben

Slant: FA=1, AB=23, BC= 39, CD = 21, DE = 15, E+ = 1

Slant gaugeBC dominates

Ben is able to express objectivity as well as sympathy to suit the occasion. He is a very likeable character warm and friendly who others easily warm to. He is generally kind and considerate with an easy-going temperament. His slants suggest that although he can be objective and is able to weigh up the pros and cons of an argument or a situation, he is also strongly responsive and this reveals an ambivalent character. One who is being constantly pulled in two directions on the introversion/extroversion spectrum he wants to move forward towards others because of his gregarious nature but something seems to stand in the way and hold him back.

Generally speaking he is unlikely to let his emotions get the better of him. He does not over react because he has sufficient reserve, which helps to keep his emotions in check.

Mid zone size: variable from 2mm to 5mm so he can be up and down emotionally (which reinforces his ambivalence). The mid zone mode is just over average at 3.5mm but a lot of mid zone letters are larger than this.

This means that he likes to be active and to be involved in interpersonal relationships. People help to fulfil his ego needs. He doesnt like to sit still he wants to be seen and heard and takes delight in being noticed and recognised. However he can concentrate when he has to but prefers to be more spontaneous and less involved with detail and precision. He is also aware of the bigger picture.

Capitals range from 5mm to 15mm huge variability. Some tendency towards egoism

Movement: obstructed by tented structures which impede his progress across the page. He stops himself from moving towards others because he reverts back to the past. He tends to be a fighter. He is not put off by the obstacles before him but is determined to succeed. He needs a challenge. He may have unresolved issues with his mother.

Connectivity: largely connected with wide word spacing. This also reveals the writers ambivalence. He wants to connect with others and enjoys social contact but also likes to be on his own. He enjoys the solitude that it brings.

Connectivity also indicates fluidity. Ben can express himself effortlessly and with ease. He is able to change smoothly from one thought to another. He has the ability to communicate easily either in writing or through the spoken word. He particularly has a feel for the right phrase or verbal expression. He probably can debate on just about any issue. He is able to change subjects cleverly and direct the conversation adroitly away from uncomfortable topics. Because he can communicate his ideas convincingly, he is more able to influence others to accept his point of view.

Arrangement: Fairly well spaced on the page some aesthetic qualityTop margin is wide respect for authorityLines ascend he is cheerfully optimistic

Form: simplified with no lead-in strokes he wants to get down to essentials without wasting time. He has mental agility and has a good grasp of essentials. He dislikes ornamentation and frills. This means his appreciation of beauty is more down-to-earth. Likewise, his style of clothes is likely to be casual, comfortable with a minimum of fuss. He has simple tastes and a matter-of-fact approach. He dislikes people who beat about the bush.

Traits:

The writer is stubborn. Stubbornness seen in tented structures. He adamantly refuses to change his mind even when presented with incontrovertible evidence that he is wrong. It will be difficult to coax him out of his stubborn mood. He finds it difficult to comply even when he wants to. His first reaction to pressure is an automatic no. In fact, pressure makes him cling more tightly to ideas that he might have dropped or modified if he had been left alone.

He is also fairly thin skinned and sensitive to criticism, in particular about his appearance or about aspects of his character. He will be easily wounded by stinging remarks and probably seeks out solitude in order to lick his wounds.

He finds himself irritated by details and may be prone to making mistakes. At times he will become so irritated that the sparks will fly and others will find his outbursts rather wearing.

Signature: incongruent with text and illegible. He does not behave the same in public as he does in private. There is a full stop after his signature indicating that he likes to have the last word.

Victim No 2

Slant: Slightly right forward. BC probably dominates but insufficient text to assess dominance

She reacts quite emotionally to people and events. She is naturally outgoing and likes to get involved in the lives of others and enjoys participating in their activities. She is a warm individual who other people also easily warm to. Her emotions are quite close to the surface but she still has many controls to keep her emotions from spilling over.

She is eager and enthusiastic especially when talking about herself but she can reach out to others and show her feelings plainly and in accordance with the situation.

Form: The writing is embellished this means the writer wants hide or conceal some weakness she perceives to be in her character.

In addition, embellished writing means she is likely to enjoy life with all the trimmings. Her appearance will be showy and pretentious as will be her possessions. She is imaginative and enjoys the limelight. She tends to be larger than life and enjoys dramatising her behaviour or appearance. She is more interested in appearance than substance.

She hides behind a mask, which is her persona her public image which is how she wants to be seen.

She is not concerned with intellectual or abstract concepts but is preoccupied with the here and now of everyday life shopping, eating, socialising and so forth.

Size: She has large writing which reveals an emphasis on the self. She wants to play an active part in her environment. She has a wide perspective. She is larger than life and likes to be noticed. She probably finds it difficult to sit still for any length of time. She needs a lot of elbow room. She has a short attention span. She is likely to be a poor listener because she is too concerned about making her own impression and keeping the limelight.

Letter width is narrower than the middle zone height, which means she suffers from anxiety. She needs continual assurance and the proverbial pat on the back. She is so busy bragging that she does not have time to do the work necessary to back up her boasts, thereby increasing her uneasiness.

She tends to dwell on inessentials which take precedent over the harsh realities of life.

Speed: slow

With so much concentration on the letter formations, it means the writer is so preoccupied with herself and her image that she can hardly move. She is not happy with her image and feels she needs to create an ideal image or a better outer self to show the world (persona).

Signature: Her signature is illegible and incongruent with the text. This supports the view that she hides behind a veneer/facade. She has created an image of herself that she wants to present to the world but it is not her true self. She does not behave the same in public as she does in private.

There are signs of worry in her signature this means that she has an unrealistic sense of things going wrong and she anticipates danger where it does not exist.

Placement of address on envelope: Takes up most of the width of the envelope confirming desire for importance. There is a slight decrease in the left margin she jumps right in with both feet but doubt and worry starts to plague her. She needs to go back to the security of the past.

Victim No 3 what is Grey?

Slant: AB probably but insufficient text to determine slant dominance

The writer has a firmness of attitude. He is self-directed and prefers to make up his own mind about things. Before he makes a move, he considers matters thoroughly from a logical and practical point of view and assesses problems from all angles. He is very much in control and his head rules his heart, to the extent that his judgement is not clouded by emotion or mere whimsy. He looks before he leaps.

He may come across as rather reserved, because of his undemonstrative nature. However, he does have emotions like everyone else, but just finds it difficult to outwardly express them. He is more likely to intellectualise his feelings and is able to hide them from others, even when his feelings are hurt. He will likely be embarrassed by other peoples emotional displays.

On the occasions when he does lose his cool, he will quickly regain his composure and this gives him the advantage of having an unruffled approach in times of crisis. The writers inner reserve means he lacks spontaneity. He is so controlled that his overall lack of spontaneity means he is rarely enthusiastic and hence is unlikely to inspire or motivate others.

Form: Simplified with no lead-in strokes he wants to get down to essentials without wasting time. He has mental agility and has a good grasp of essentials.

He dislikes ornamentation and frills. This means his appreciation of beauty is down-to-earth.

Likewise, his style of clothes is likely to be casual, comfortable with a minimum of fuss. He has simple tastes and a matter-of-fact approach. He dislikes people who beat about the bush.

Stroke: Fine

His tastes are moderate. He is in touch with his senses but doesnt go overboard. He enjoys music, art, food etc but the quality of the experience is far more important than quantity. He needs a positive environment on every level and seeks out environments where gentleness, quietness, beauty and grace pervades.

He is also likely to be critical and argumentative.

Size: Mid zone height is taller than average. The writer cannot sit still for long. He needs attention and wants to be at the centre where all the action is.

Letter width is narrower than it is tall. He suffers from anxiety. He is a taker rather than a giver.

Arrangement: Large spaces between words. He enjoys spending considerable time on his own where he can concentrate on his own interests. He is rather inhibited with a restriction of self-expression especially in relation to others. He is rather conservative and dislikes change.This writer thinks more than feels. He is intellectually preoccupied with logic.

Traits

He has imagination but finds it hard to put into effect.

Signature: Illegible and incongruent with text. The writer does not behave the same in public as he does in private.

Victim No 4 Its not about

Slant: Upright-leftward (AB/FA) although insufficient text to form a definite conclusion

This writer is rather shy and reserved and has an undemonstrative nature. She does have emotions like everyone else, but just finds it difficult to outwardly express them. She is more likely to intellectualise her feelings and is able to hide them from others, even when her feelings are hurt. Her inner reserve means she lacks spontaneity. She is so controlled that her overall lack of spontaneity means she is rarely enthusiastic and hence is unlikely to inspire or motivate others. She is rather self-absorbed and is always looking at situations in terms of how it will benefit her.

She is unlikely to bend very easily but is likely to be reliable and dependable.

Form: Simplified she likes to get down to the essentials quickly and dislikes people who beat about the bush. She is candid and forthright says what is on her mind. She may be too blunt for some people but at least you know where you stand with this writer.

Size: 3mm and over but fairly consistent

Upper zone is neglected. The writer is preoccupied with the here and now of everyday concerns. She is not interested in intellectual pursuits. She can concentrate when she has to but also is able to see the bigger picture.

Goals are practical and realistic.

Signature: Incongruent with text and illegible. The writer does not behave the same in private as she does in public. The signature is much more connected than the text so she wants to be a better communicator than she actually is.

There is a lasso at the end of the signature which means we have a writer who will be prepared to defend herself initially but will then retaliate by attacking others in an offensive stance.Traits:

The writer is independent minded and values her freedom. Her own ideas carry more weight with her than the views of others. Her independence and freedom mean more to her than others may realise and she does not take kindly to people who try to tell her how to do things. Given a job to do, she is disinclined to listen to other peoples instructions. Instead, she relies on her own instinctive feelings to tell her what to do. She may even reverse orders and follow her own beliefs. She does what is desirable and realistic from her point of view. From time to time, she will deliberately try different ways of doing things rather than the tried and trusted procedures.

She strives to think well of herself as the approval she seeks comes from within rather than from others. She is no easy pushover. Ultimately she believes she can always go it alone.

The writer is loyal. She is true to those she cares about and will not let them down. She is a loyal friend through all the ups and downs. If she let someone down who was dependent on her, she would feel devastated. She therefore expects others to return this unswerving loyalty in kind. If other people do not give her their complete devotion in return, she will be really hurt and upset. A broken promise can put a wide crack in her friendships.

Victim No 5 Start by thinking

Slant: BC

She is able to express objectivity as well as sympathy to suit the occasion. Generally speaking she is unlikely to let her emotions get the better of her. She does not react impulsively because she has sufficient reserve, which helps to keep her emotions in check. She is generally kind and considerate with an easy-going temperament. Overall she is a fairly moderate individual because she maintains an equal balance between emotion and control.

Size: mid zone mode is 4mm but size varies from 2mm to 7. She suffers from mood swings which will affect her ability to concentrate. She needs considerable elbow room and wants to seek the limelight and to receive a lot of attention. She will find it difficult sitting at a desk from 9 to 5. She needs a job where she can be seen and where she can be doing more than one thing at a time. She has a need to become involved in many activities and may not be able to say no to other people and so takes on more and more activities. The problem can be that she will spread herself too thinly to be effective. She is likely to over-commit herself and then be embarrassed when she recognises her inability to maintain her promises.

Letter width is narrower than mid zone height which means there is some inhibition and the writer is reserved probably because due to her perception regarding self image.

Caps: between 8mm and 10mm copybook she has moderate self esteem

Pressure: light which means the writers energy reserves are short lived. They quickly evaporate when shes forced into long-term or overwhelming projects. She may become moody or take shortcuts in an effort to see the task completed quickly. She needs nurturing and a lot of care. She wastes a lot of mental energy worrying about things she has not done. She feels there is always too much to do and never enough time. She does not learn from experiences because the effects of them tend to wash over her.

Connectivity. Partially connected she may have problems connecting with others.

Signature: Full name written but not completely legible. Some letters if taken out of context would not be legible. However, she appears to be comfortable with self.

Traits:

She has analytical thinking. She is interested in abstract concepts and wants to penetrate new areas and apply them to her own store of knowledge rather than merely scratching the surface. She wants to learn new things in light of what she has not discovered for herself already. Thus she approaches what she knows already from different angles. She wants to extend her knowledge further to gain a deeper understanding. She wants to delve and is just not satisfied with her present level of knowledge but it is difficult to quench her thirst when he really gets stuck in.

She doesnt take things at face value. She needs to separate out the essentials from the non-essentials. As an analytical thinker, she is less likely to form prejudices based on thinking because she wants to weigh up the facts.

However, she may run the risk of being indecisive. She is likely to become so engrossed in the search for the right answer that she cannot force herself to use the information she has, because she fears there might be some information or data that she may have missed or not yet seen. Also, because she is able to see both sides of the argument, making a decision can become even more difficult.

She also has initiative - the ability to begin or to follow through energetically with a plan or task. She sees what has to be done and gets on with it. She has the knack of spotting possibilities and is prepare to grab them when others might hesitate.

Victim No 6 Chocolate

Slant: BC

Laura is able to express objectivity as well as sympathy to suit the occasion. She is a very likeable character warm and friendly who others easily warm to. She is kind, caring and considerate with an easy-going temperament.

Form: Close to copybook conformist

Size: 3mm average size. She can concentrate when she has to but is also aware of the bigger picture.

Mid zone dominates. She lives in the here and now of everyday life. Appearance is very important and she takes care over what she wears and how she looks.

Capitals are not much larger than midzone height she is modest

Connectives garlands amiable, friendly and congenial. She wants to be liked and help others. She is motivated by the need to be loved, appreciated, and needed. She takes pride in her ability to make people feel special and to anticipate and fulfill other people's needs better than anyone else. She is adept at sensing what those needs are and accommodating themselves to meet those needs. She is tactile and relates to others through touch. She is loving, demonstrative, generous and tuned in to how others feel. She will sense who is hurting and will know how to deal with it. She is a people-pleaser. She is well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed.

She appears cheerful, selfsufficient, and sufficiently self-confident and is often unaware of her own needs. She relates easily to people, enjoys caring for others and is capable of unconditional love. However, she lives in an ambiguous state one minute she wants to be loved but the next she longs to be free of all this giving and caring and hates being controlled by others, their needs or feeling dependent on them. When she feels like this, she wants to be on her own.

Pressure: indentations felt on back of paper. Some intensity of emotion. Memories remain for a significant time. Doesnt forget easily.

Signature: Illegible and incongruent with text. Does not behave the same in public as she does in private. Wants to appear more outgoing than she actually is. Signature is crossed through some dislike of self

Traits

Independent mindedness is strong. Her own ideas carry more weight than the views of others. She does not take kindly to people who try to tell her how to do things and hates taking orders from anybody. She wants to feel that what she is doing is the result of her own free will and she is doing it because she wants to do it

Consequently she is refreshingly frank. She says what she believes without holding anything back. People know exactly where they stand with Laura. However, her straightforward remarks may be so direct that she could offend others. As far as she is concerned, the truth is the truth and if others cant bear it, they should not ask her opinion.

Victim No 7 S Hobbs

Slant: BC/CD

Because her feelings are close to the surface, she reacts emotionally to people and events. She likes to get involved with others and enjoys participating in their activities. She is warm and friendly. She is generally kind, considerate, affectionate (but not too openly) sympathetic and overall moderate in temperament.

Size: 3mm she can concentrate when she needs to as well as being able to see the bigger picture.

Mid zone dominates. She lives in the here and now of everyday life.

Form: close to copybook she is a conformist

Connectivity: partial her spontaneity is constrained. This means the writer needs to project a certain contrived image thats why she cant be spontaneous.

Signature: incongruent with text and slightly more rightward. She does not behave the same in public as she does in private. She wants to appear more outgoing and sociable than she actually is. The initial capital letter is slightly larger than the other capitals in the text, so she wants to have more status than she presently has.

Traits:

In terms of imagination, she may have the capacity to form ideas but they tend to remain undeveloped and hence she struggles to find direction for them.

Independent mindedness is also strong in this writer. Her own ideas carry more weight than the views of others. She does not take kindly to people who try to tell her how to do things and hates taking orders from anybody. She wants to feel that what she is doing is the result of her own free will and she is doing it because she wants to do it

The writer likes to take one step at a time, thinking in a systemised sequential manner, building up each stage as she goes along. She needs to feel good about what she is involved in otherwise she can become bogged down in it all and lose productivity. Feelings and instincts dominate her mental processing and if the steps to a conclusion do not fall into a familiar pattern, she can become very uncomfortable with the process. She prefers hands on practice to learn new information but once she has learned something, it is likely to stay in her memory. She will be systematically thorough and careful and likes to spend time mulling things over. When dealing with familiar material, she can think rapidly and accurately

She tends to be more patient and also more painstaking in her work. Because of the accuracy and control she brings to her work, she is likely to be reliable. However, output is not likely to be high because she will take so much time and trouble over her work. She is tolerant on the whole of frustration. Whatever she does, she needs a job where care is more important than speed.

She will be discouraged by fast thinkers and competitive situations. She will feel pressured if presented with too many different things at once or having too much to do on a tight schedule. She rarely works well under stress.

Victim No 8 We all want

Slant: CD/DE

She is gregarious and extrovertly outgoing. She responds openly to environmental stimuli. She relates well to others and is not afraid to demonstrate her affection or her dislike of others. She has less control over her emotions which are visibly apparent so that everyone is aware of her mood of the moment. Her body language will also give much away of what she is feeling at any point in time. However, all this intensity can leave her feeling emotionally drained and exhausted. Her resilience to stress is not so good.

Size: Larger mid zone size at the start of the page reduces in size towards the end. The writer is more natural towards the end of the page. She tends to tire quite easily.

Form: simplified. She is mentally agile with a good grasp of the essentials. She is a speedy worker but it may not appear that obvious because she devises so many short cuts. She knows exactly how much time should be allotted to each task and pursues the shortest route in order to get things done. She is likely to inspire confidence.

Connectivity: the writing is connected. The writer is fairly well adapted and like her writing, she is supple with an open mind. She wants to move progressively forward to meet others and the future and only occasionally applies the brakes. Hence she takes life as it comes.

Signature: Illegible and incongruent with text. The writer does not behave the same in public as she does in private.

There is a lasso at the end of the signature which means we have a writer who will be prepared to defend herself initially but will then retaliate by attacking others in an offensive stance.

Traits:

Sensitive to criticism regarding self. She is constantly on the alert for wounding remarks or stinging comments regarding her appearance or aspects of character. Because of her own sensitivity, she can understand the fear of being criticised.

The writer has good finger coordination and is deft with her hands. She may be good at sketching, crafts, art, music, baking and so on. She needs to exercise dexterity either in her work or as a hobby because she would feel frustrated without an outlet for manual activity. Whatever her chosen activity, she is likely to be creative.

At the time of writing, she tends to lack purpose and has not as yet set herself definite goals. She prefers lifes pleasures to lifes responsibilities.

Victim No 9 It started with

Slant: leftward dominant but rightward slant seen in thready letters

Because of previous childhood experiences, the writer tends to be insecure. He is extremely self-protective and feels he needs to hide and suppress his emotions by keeping them to himself. He achieves this by backing off from people and cosseting himself in his own private world in a self-absorbed way. He may seem undemonstrative and unreachable even to those closest to him. He is likely to feel uneasy and embarrassed by other peoples emotional displays, because if he were to sympathise, it could mean that he would have to reveal more of himself than he would wish. Therefore his responses are carefully considered.

Despite his inner reserve, he can nevertheless appear lively, friendly and outgoing on the surface with the ability to mix well with others, but his behaviour is subjective and self-serving and there will always be a barrier between himself and others.If it is to his advantage and it will benefit him in some way, he will turn on the charm, but he can just as easily turn it off and withdraw back into himself. He is the sort of person who is always weighing up situations and asking whats in it for me? His interests take precedence over the interests of everyone else.

He is very much his own person and wants to be perceived as different and individualistic. Consequently he is likely to devote more time to the development of skills or talents that he wants to nurture, rather than in interpersonal relationships.

He is shy and reserved yet on a roller coaster of emotion. Needs a lot of attention due to trauma as a child

Form: Simplified and neglected.

Size: 2mm mid zone small. He is likely to have a fine intellect and may be an academic because he has the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, so much so that he can immerse himself in whatever interests him for hours and hours at one go, often to the exclusion of everything else. He shuts others out from his own private world. However, since he focuses energy and attention on a restricted area he consequently may not see the whole picture.

He is likely to be the most comfortable working by himself, according to his own time schedule, or with a limited number of people sharing his singleness of purpose. He usually choosesto be alone (or with the most trusted friends) with only short spells spent (probably agonisingly) on social events. Social events are likely toleave him feeling foolish, bored, manipulated, isolated,and awkward. His interests,however positive,seldom match those of 'the crowd' very well and he prefers to talk 'to the point' and debate ideasvigorously.

Because of his excellent concentration, he is able to block out everything else but if he is interrupted for any reason, he will find it difficult to refocus. In fact, he is likely to dislike being interrupted once he has settled down to work and when he is interrupted, he is more than likely to let rip. This can be a major area of misunderstanding in relationships or work situations where interruptions are the rule. It is important for the writer to have all the basic rules and directions before he starts working in order to limit the amount of interruptions later.

He doesnt care what other people think of him. He has confidence in himself and what he does because he has a long attention span and is observant and conscientious. He doesnt need public recognition for what he does, nor does he seek the limelight. He takes up very little space or elbow room, so in this respect, he plays a modest role.

Signature: Illegible and incongruent with text. The writer does not behave the same in public as he does in private. Slant is rightward wants to appear more outgoing than he actually is also wants to be held in higher regard than he actually is.

Traits

Superficial thinking Like lightning, he darts here and there with his thinking. He prefers to skim the surface of subjects, gathering the most obvious facts. As he skim reads, he deliberately avoids the bits he considers dull, uninteresting or too complicated.

He has formed the habit of handling a great deal of information by skating over the surface of subjects with the intention of covering lots of ground to get what he needs rather than probing into matters and acquiring an in-depth view. However, by not absorbing the material sufficiently, he may well have overlooked important details and so his knowledge often can have holes in it.

But as far as he is concerned, he is content with superficial knowledge. Because he skims, he tends to generalise what he knows.

Just as he skims across knowledge, he also skims over problems. He is more likely to adapt than face conflict or arguments. He takes the line of least resistance and tends to avoid responsibilities along the way. His attitude to life changes depending on the circumstances. He is socially adaptable and can fit in with any group as long as he has an escape route. He has the ability to manoeuvre himself out of tight/difficult situations.

Victim No 10 Dear Ruby

Slant: Rightforward DE dominates

The writer is very spontaneous and she reaches out to others so much that she needs someone near or around her most of the time. She is extrovertly warm and outgoing by nature and relates well to others. Whether she is crying, laughing or sulking, everyone is aware of what she is feeling. Her body language also leaves you in no doubt of her moods.

She is very affectionate but the intensity of her emotions can leave her feeling drained and exhausted. Being emotional herself, she can easily relate to other emotionally like-minded individuals as she understands where they are coming from.

Her subjective attitude however tends to colour her opinion of other people and this, in turn, affects her relationships with them. As her heart rules her head, she has strong likes and dislikes and is easily pleased or offended.

She is also quick to jump to conclusions because as she reacts subjectively to situations and people, she is too impatient to examine all the facts before she acts. Consequently her decisions are made too quickly and often too rashly. She has a tendency to rush into relationships because its what she wants now rather than thinking rationally about whether this would be for the best in the long term.Size: larger than the norm likes a lot of elbow room. She is interested in big issues rather than trivial ones. She wants to be well-regarded by others and thrives on other peoples attention.

Form simplified no lead in strokes. She is direct she moves straight to the heart of the problem and begins a task or project without wasting time. She has a matter of fact attitude and believes in a simple straightforward approach. This characteristic also influences her thinking and helps in reaching quick conclusions. She concentrates on the essential issues and quickly tells the important aspects from the unimportant.

Connectivity - not only are her letters connected, but so are her thoughts. Ideas flow easily one from another. She thinks logically and is able to solve problems associatively. If she feels he hasnt been understood, she will attempt further clarification because other peoples comprehension is important to them

She writes and thinks fluidly. To think fluidly enable her to act quickly and to make adjustments promptly. Changing subjects in mid-stream does not upset her. She can handle it. She can always conjure up an instant answer and probably can hold her own in any debate. It adds significantly to versatility and adaptability. She can meet different people and deal with difficult situations and cope with inner frustrations.

Signature: incongruent with text and illegible but in keeping with slant.

Traits:

Despite her outgoing nature, she is discriminating in her choice of friends and who she lets into her life. She feels she can only relax with those she trusts and those who do not threaten her ego. She needs to feel totally secure, socially and intellectually. Although she may mix well socially, she is generally not interested in forming lots of close friendships. On the other hand, her favoured few friends are held very dear because she has chosen them consciously and deliberately. With these individuals, she will do anything to maintain firm bonds and good, long-term relationships.

This writer also takes on too many things at once. She feels there is always too much to do and never enough time. Her diary may be loaded with a heavy schedule of activities, often in hopeless conflict with each other. She just cannot say no and is likely to over-commit herself.

This writer has a stubborn and defiant streak.
