Personality Profile for Steve Young,
based only on his signature and analyzed by computer.

This is from his signature only, meaning that because his signature is what he "shows" to the world, it is what he subconsciously wants others to think about him. His regular handwriting would reveal what
his personality actually is down deep inside. (That is true of us all, even if we don't have a autograph-
type of signature.) I don't have any of Steve's regular handwriting (he might be glad about that), but this computer program came up with some interesting things based on his signature that I can see corroborated in his interviews and firesides. The computer program analyzes each stroke and style of each letter in his signature and puts out a sentence based on that stroke, so it repeats itself when it comes across another stroke that means the same thing. Once it contradicts an earlier statement; maybe that shows Steve has internal conflicts like the rest of us have. This program is a 1992 one by Riverside Software. You can also learn about analyzing handwriting by looking up "Graphology" in a bookstore or library.
