Sample Answer
Do you like handwriting?
I really like writing with a pen. I guess it’s a little old-school, since most of my friends just like texting or calling on the phone. But from my perspective, I think there’s something very nice and fulfilling about writing with a pen and paper. It’s more personal that way.
Is your handwriting easy to read for other people?
Yeah, I guess my handwriting is pretty easy for other people to read. In school, I had to practice writing very neatly, and that’s a skill that I’ve taken with me all the way until now. Actually it’s important to take your time and be careful when you write, or else no one will understand you.
Do you like to receive a handwritten letter / card?
I honestly love getting letters or cards with hand-written words. You know, it’s really sweet and it adds a personal touch. Since handwriting takes longer than texting or even emailing, it shows that the person wanted to take the extra time to show you they care about you. It definitely makes my day to get something like that.
Can you tell someone’s personality from his or her handwriting?
Yes, I think you can tell a little bit about someone’s personality from their handwriting. For instance, you could guess that people with messy handwriting are kind of unorganized, but people with neat handwriting care about appearances and take their time. Of course, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Do you like writing by hand or typing?
I prefer writing by hand over typing. Even though typing is fast and convenient on a computer or a cellphone, a pen and paper help me concentrate more on what I want to write. I feel like I’m always being distracted by the temptations of online videos and other fun stuff when I’m writing on a computer.
