Our Stories: ...And Dot Your I’s § The Amanda Project

...And Dot Your I’s

THIS JUST IN! BREAKING NEWS ALERT!!

Slimester Stan has been sacked! Amazing, right? Remember when Hal, Nia, and I went back to his janitor’s closet a couple of weeks ago to nab the notes but we only found cleaning supplies? Word on the street is that Principle Singh had gotten wind of Slimester’s little klepto habits and was going to tell him to hit the road. But before she could, Slimester cracked and voluntarily confessed everything. Turns out he has a teensy weensy problem with taking things that don’t belong to him and hoarding them, so he decided to check himself into rehab. No Kidding. This came straight from Marla Vary, whose mom is on the school board and handled the firing. Poor guy. I almost feel bad for him. Anyhow, what this means for us is that Slimester is cleared of all charges in the case of the hidden hideout because he’s been in said rehab for the past two weeks. And he was never apparently interested in us or Amanda, just whatever he could pilfer from unsuspecting kids. This also means that the box of notes is a no go, so any chance we had of comparing the pink note in the doorknob to any note in the secret stash vanished when Stan got das boot.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming…

NICE job, you analytical minds, you. Now that we’re all examining extraordinaires, I think we should get cracking on decoding the note from the doorknob. Take a look. Nia, Hal, and I were thinking that everyone takes a copy of the letter and then analyzes it using the same pages we used to decode our own handwriting. You know the drill – check out the gallery, jot down the results, and report back.

P.S. Try not to peek at what other people come up with before you post your results. We should try to examine the handwriting independently and see if we get the same personality traits, don’t you think?

What kind of mystery (wo)man are we dealing with???

My results were as follows:
A2- creative ability, cunning, versatility
B4- worry, irrability
C4- ?
D5- generosity
G2- energy, determination
N1- logic, criticism, executive ability

I’m not exactly sure I did this right, so I would appreciate any follow up comments saying it was right or changing it!

I think we should check the previous story, “Cross Your T’s”, to see if anyone’s handwriting matches these results!
AwesomeAnna93 07.03.2009

A-2 - Creative Ability, Cunning, Versatility
B-8- ?
C-2 - Selfish
D-6 - Generosity
G-7 - Inventiveness, Scientific Tastes
N-1 - Logic, Criticism, Executive Ability

theresaax2 07.03.2009

a-2 Creative Ability, Cunning, Versatility
b-8 There’s nothing, not even a ?
c-1 Coldness
d-8 Animation, Enthusiasm
g-7 Inventiveness, Scientific Tastes
n-1 Logic, Criticism, Executive Ability

^2 Different then AwesomeAnna. I wonder, if someone else used the code on my own handwriting, would they have gotten different results?

So check this. Kind of off-topic, I know, but I was curious about how we all match up like Liza said. I took a look at the personality results we posted last week and there are some interesting facts here. According to the almighty handwriting analysis book
... 2/3 of us are dependable, honest, independent and trustworthy.
... A whole bunch of people are sad.
... We are equal parts cold, arrogant, critical, altruistic, animated, benevolent, emotional and inconsistent. Pretty well rounded, I’d say!
... A lot of people are all business and also generous.
... We might form a commune because we’re mostly peace loving and docile,

Wow… Everyone’s deciphering is a tad different… but I think on the whole, this mystery person is:
A- 2 -> *Creative ability, Cunning, Versatile*
B- mostly 8 (I got 8 as well) but since there’s nothing for 8 we’ll go with 4 -> *Worry, Irritable*
C- 1/2 -> *Cold/Selfish*
D- 6 -> *Generous* (Selfish yet generous… Huh…)
G- 7/2 -> *Inventive, Scientific tastes/ Energetic, Determined*
N- 1 -> *Logical, Critic, Executive ability*

...Anyone have some insight on who this might be???

Well, this isn’t really what you asked for, but, how about some speculation and maybe an idea on how to find out who wrote this?

First off, I just found this site! I go to Endeavor and have an odd habit. I’ve got a sketchbook and in every spare minute I have, I draw things. Not just sketches but sketches of every little detail I notice and find interesting. When Amanda came to Endeavor, I practically stalked her. I drew hundreds of sketches of her and when she went missing, I was pretty torn up. Finding this site is amazing!

Here’s what I think: It appears to me that whoever wrote this was trying to disguise their writing—they didn’t want to be found. However, almost always certain traits remain in one’s writing, even when they try to change it. Could be as small as a loop at the end of their ‘s’ or a tail on their ‘t’. But maybe collecting samples of people’s writing and comparing it for small details might be worthwhile?

I would love to see your drawings Willow! You should post some to the gallery. Maybe Amanda was doing something in one of them that seemed like nothing at the time, but could be a clue when we look at it now?
Willow 09.16.2009

Hmm ... Well, maybe. But they’re very personal. I will have a look through them and maybe post one or two if they seem of consequence.

after reading this it reminded me of the note. The one that scared Amanda? Whatever happened to it? I forgot. Maybe we should try to do the same test as with this new one?
tiffany923 09.24.2009

yes yori-awesome idea. we should compare the writing! who has the note? i don’t remember. i totally agree with willow. i think they were disguising their writing. i recognize something about the writing from somewhere, but i don’t know who’s it was, or where i saw it. ahhhh! this is so annoying. i’ll post back if i figure it out.
MandysBoy 11.25.2009

There is a picture of the note on a previous story, if anyone wants to do a handwriting test on it? Awesome idea.
shannabrianne 05.31.2010

um wilow my hand writing is always diffrent u cant identify what i wrote using something else i wrote so this person is either like disguises their writing or they could just write like me
WhoIAm_Tigote 09.04.2010

ok I didn’t read any answers but how do you know what it means when you do the hand writing test(yes this is a very noob thing to say)
lemondrop 09.04.2010

Hey, WhoIAm! I took a Forensics Science class last year, so let me see if I can explain this correctly: Everyone’s handwriting is different (kind of like a fingerprint), so unless someone is very good at disguising handwriting (and I mean REALLY good), words and letter patterns (like dotting your i’s with a shape instead of a dot, or a unique blend of cursive and print, or a slant to the left or right side of the paper, etc.) should be the same no matter what the person is writing. However, if the person is under duress, scared, or in a hurry, that can affect their hadwriting sample. Also, oddly enough, family members’ hadwriting tends to look a lot alike, especially parents and children. Wow, long comment…hope you can follow that. :)
WhoIAm_Tigote 09.04.2010

I know about that stuff, but What I mean is how can you tell what it means when it slants or pressure or size. I found A article about it online but it’s complete bogus
