Here's how I know handwriting analysis is bullshit.

I took my family to the Minnesota State Fair yesterday. They had a booth in one of the buildings that did those computerized "personality" tests for handwriting. I did one. My printout came back, and the first thing it was (I'm quoting directly):

"You irritate people by often refusing to listen."

So these things are crap. How can that computer just immediately say I'm irritating based on nothing but my signature. it also said I have poor impulse control, I'm hyper-independent and I'm "not concerned about what other people think" of me, and I'm compassionate and caring. It also said I'm "passionate about things that matter to you." I know enough to know that "passionate" is a euphemism for "rage-a-holic."

So don't waste your money on these things. That machine basically called me an asshole just based on my signature.
