In my Psychology and HR modules, we often read about how graphology (handwriting analysis) has virtually no validity in recruitment, predicting job success etc. So naturally I'm quite surprised at how accurate the analysis of my handwriting is when I took it at this website recommended by Jer:

Shuhui is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Shuhui will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Shuhui an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Shuhui is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Shuhui is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue. 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, Shuhui doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

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

Shuhui 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!

In reference to Shuhui'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 Shuhui 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. Shuhui 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.

Shuhui's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Shuhui that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Shuhui 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. Shuhui is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Shuhui's self-concept is artificially low. Shuhui 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 Shuhui 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. Shuhui is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

Shuhui 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.

Shuhui is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.

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 Shuhui has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Shuhui fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Shuhui has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Shuhui is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Shuhui would like to leave the past behind and move on.

So basically... I am moody, have low self-esteem, is sacarstic but I can also be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate. And sometimes I sit on the fence and likes to wear other people's shoes. Seeing all this in one sentence makes me sounds like a psychopath or a very extreme person... LOL.

I am as normal as you, don't worry! :P

Been studying psychology the whole weekend on top of clearing the last bits of my project. Initially was quite glad I cleared writing up my notes for all the chapters after mid-term... (which are more impt cos it'll be 90% of the stuff tested in the final exams) BUT... (yes yes, the always-dreaded word...) after doing some exercises... crossword puzzles... I realised I forgotten the stuff in front... ARGH! the more I do, the more I flip the textbook, the more I FREAK OUT!

(now according to Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Approach... this is because I have classified the impending exam as A THREAT & I estimated that I don't have enuff TIME to study everything... => Now do you get how stressed is this? )

Argh... I hate this... Psychology is actually the easiest to study so far, in terms of how easy it is to read each chapter and identify with the concepts and theories mentioned... Totally enjoyed it. But when it becomes an exam and you need to compress everything in time to sit for the paper... Its a totally different thing...

Okok, now I'm trying to de-stress... Cos I know I can't study properly being so tensed anyway. Now listening to soundtracks from High School Musical cos they're so infectious with the dances and the catchy tunes... Woo! Turning it up max to destress... So on a lighter note, what I learnt after revising Stress & Health today...

'Stoning' is actually good for your health!
It is actually a form of meditation... yes, you read it right, meditation! I was equally surprised haha... there is actually a form of meditation that involves a person concentrating on an unchanging stimulus to relax & calm down. Just 20 mins of 'stoning' or staring into blank space can lower blood pressure & calm you down... hahaha!

Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

Love has 3 components mainly intimacy (sense of close emotional ties), passion (physical aspect of love but not just s** =P) & commitment (decisions one makes about a r/s)

A love r/s can involve one, two or all 3 components, and hence gives rise to the 7 different kinds of love.

Liking: intimacy only
Companionate Love: intimacy + commitment (the kind that brings pp thru' the yrs of marriage)
Empty Love: commitment only (sad case )= )
Fatuous Love: passion + commitment
Infatuation: passion only
Romantic Love: intimacy + passion
Consummate Love: intimacy + passion + commitment (ultimate goal for many =P )

So... which love are u experiencing now? Revising for psychology, though a long process... is often quite enriching... You absently go "Oh.." and "Ic.." in your head when u read things like this (:

now i really know wad army guys do when they are inside their bunk, bored and trying to entertain themselves. Eugene's officer frens(from his prev camp) shot a video of him and themselves in e bunk. Making him play his guitar and 'dedicate' the song to me... haha... So sweet! Though they would see it here, but thks guys, and thks dear (: help me tell them ba...

ytd finally went for the Suki Sushi Buffet after my dental appt. I've been looking fwd to it all week cos so long haven went for sushi buffet liao! And when i was lying on the chair in e dental clinic earlier, it was wad I was thinking abt to distract myself. Distract myself from the damn drilling sound and that thing going at my front teeth making me that sickly feeling in my tooth... ARGH! was filling my front tooth la... now its like any other tooth, white white liao. haha..

ytd I met this inconsiderate woman in the ladies at AH. She was talking on e phone inside the toilet. And I think she's there for damn long alrdy... Cos the woman in front of me was shaking her head and sighing incessantly at the ill-mannered woman inside. Cant u finish your business and get yourself out of there, find a nicer place to chat with your friend? I don't have to hear you teaching someone how to cook chicken soup and brag abt your trip to Japan IN THE TOILET! my god la... and she was talking in a mixture of canto and English... argh... She is lucky she nv came out even when I was abt to leave... I would shoot her my dirtiest look fit for a woman behaving like this.
