The t bar in Figure 20 goes back to the left, representing the past, and thus shows introversion. It also shows jealousy and lack of responsibility, and the hook in the structure of this letter shows greed, egotism, and selfishness. The t bar in Figure 21 crosses in the middle but veers upward. This shows social aspirations and often a strong imagination. (Notice how this t bar points to the upper zone.) It is also the sign of one who wants to improve his situation, and is aggressive.

Observe the aggressive and imaginative t bars in the writings of both Edith Head (Figure 21A) and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Figure 21B). Note also that in both their writings there are other bars that veer in the same direction: the H in Miss Head's surname; the capital I's in Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.’ Very often these bars will correspond to these t bars, as these bars (that is, the bar in the capital H and I) are written for the same personality reason-the t bar is a horizontally written stroke, which is usually written after having taken the writing tool off the paper, the writing also usually being done in a left to right direction. The same physical actions occur with the capital H and I bars, hence the same direction. In general, these capital H and I bars (and for that matter, the capital A bar) will most often correspond in writing style to how the t-bars are written, because of the aforementioned reason.

In Figure 22, where only a small part appears to the left of the stem the t bar may look similar to the previous one, but it has a different meaning. This writer is ambitious to the point of having a fighting nature-he looks as if he were holding a bat. He is often the one who would rather take you to court than settle a suit outside.

Figure 23 is writing that reveals a man who can be dangerous. It begins moderately, not too dark, not too muddy, but then the bar on the right side of the stem becomes extremely heavy. Often this type of person does not show his brutality in the beginning, but it can be provoked at a moment's notice, without warning. If this trait is corroborated by other indications in the script, such as muddy writing, and if it is written with the same strength with the bar off the stem it may indicate a murderer. (Figure 23A) This is a common script found among murderers. Needless to say, these people are resentful, and (generally) have a low opinion of other people. A wavy t bar, as in Figure 24, is a sign of fun and gaiety, the practical joker mimicking others. It is as if the stroke of the t bar was saying, "Ah, don't take me seriously." The t bar with one-half of its length scrolled, as in Figure 25, is quite different from the wavy t bar. This person, though he answers questions in a more or less straight fashion, does so sarcastically. The straight part of the bar represents his answer to the question; the scrolling represents something of his own, which is added on (his sarcasm). When the t stem is looped as in Figure 26, it shows vanity (preening oneself in the presence of others). It also shows prejudice and superficial friendliness, a show-off. This person is bound to make an impression.
