FIGURE 22. Figure 22 shows the end strokes going decidedly downward. Not only does this show no end stroke to the right (for social relations), it also goes down and away from the adjoining letter, and the writing pressure increases as it descends, showing a strong temper. This indicates unwillingness to compromise. This is a person who would rather fight than switch.

FIGURE 23. Figure 23 shows the end strokes going upward. They reach into the upper zone, showing spirituality, religious feelings, and often mysticism. This writer is reaching for the heavens. People who do not know such a person well will often get the impression that he is immature.

Jeane Dixon’s writing in Figure 23A shows many end strokes veering upward. Notice especially the end strokes in "wishes" and "blessings." These are strong indications of why she would be referred to as a "mystic."

FIGURE 23A.

Figure 24 shows the end strokes going over and down to the left side of the last letter. It would appear that this writer allows information to go in one ear and out the other. He distorts facts and feels that he is deceiving others.
