We all scribble stuff in the margins of notebooks, on backpacks and even on our clothes, but what do all those stars, hearts and daisies mean? Some graphologists (who analyze handwriting) believe your doodles reveal things about your unique personality.
Geometric Shapes
Patterns of bars, squares, cubes and other geometric shapes are the sign of an organized brain. They also show clear thought processes, good planning skills and efficiency.
Abstract Shapes
Darkly and firmly drawn abstract shapes can mean tension, difficulty concentrating or a sketchy personality.
Good-Looking Faces
This means you’re probably a people person who sees the best in everyone and everything. You’re also optimistic, friendly and like being around others.
Weird/Ugly Faces
These types of faces show a lack of trust, rebellion or defensive feelings.
Arrows & Ladders
Arrows show ambition, drive and movement toward a goal. If the arrow goes through a heart, well, what do you think the goal could be?! Ladders similarly mean you’ve got a great desire to move up in life.
Checkmarks
You’re pretty serious and focused on whatever you’ve got going on at the moment. Are you also someone who spends a lot of time correcting others?
Repetitive Shapes
You’re like the Energizer Bunny – you just keep going and going and going. Drawing the same shape over and over means you’re patient, persistent and good at concentrating.
Vehicles
You likely have something to prove and want to win.
Flowers & Curves
Peace, love and understanding spell flower power. Friendly, sociable people often draw these things.
Animals
Drawing warm, fuzzy critters could mean you're in need of warm, fuzzy feelings. Either that or you just like animals a lot.
Hearts
This is a no-brainer: you love love!
Food
Mmm mm good. Doodle pictures of food and you probably really like to eat or wish you could. Is it time for lunch yet?
