What’s in a Post-It?

With so many different colours and shapes, the Post-it® Brand from 3M is perfect for adding personality, emotion and individuality to your handwritten notes.

This year Post-it is an official sponsor of National Stationery Week (31 March to 6 April) and to celebrate the occasion has come up with the slogan Get Britain Writing.

To get me writing – actually, physically writing on a piece of paper with a pen in my hand – the folks from Post-it got in touch to see if I’d be up for “a bit of extra fun” by having my own handwritten Post-it note analysed by a graphologist to see what my handwriting (along with my choice of pen colour and shape of note) might say about my personality.

I crank out all sorts of digital content all day long. Staring at screens, tapping and typing, cutting and pasting, updating my status and tweeting and emailing and texting etc – it’s all great (or at least the result usually are), but there’s something special about a message – however inconsequential or fleeting – that’s handwritten and tangible with real context and texture. Everybody’s digital text looks the same as everybody else’s. Nobody’s handwriting does.

Since the dawn of the digital age, the once legible and attractive penmanship of my youth has devolved into chicken scratch. Nevertheless, I agreed to submit a handwritten Post-it for the graphologist to consider. I thought it would be neato to find out what others might be able to discern about my character through analysing how I write. Besides, I’d blogged about Post-its before, and I truly do use Post-it products on a regular basis.

Sometime in the next few weeks, I’ll receive the analyse of my handwriting and will be sure to share those findings here in a follow up post. Stay tuned!
