Messy handwriting = smart people?

If you had a letter that was "perfectly average" I mean absolutely perfect, with zero error in the average, then yes 50% would do better and 50% would do worse.

But even averages have errors it's called standard deviation. But I just can't see 50% being "good" and 50% being bad, like a perfect equilibrium.

I see good handwriting like left handedness, 1 in a dozen. I think that's the only way I can really explain what I mean.

Noo0o0o0o0o0o0o0ope! you said and I quote again,

Smarter people think faster, so theyd need to jot their ideas down faster.

closed quote.

I guess we just see "good" and "bad" in a different way then

There is no correlation between poor or good handwriting and a persons intelligence level. That's why graphology is considered a pseudo-science.

More people have messier handwriting than neat, so does that mean more intelligent people exist than stupid people? I doubt that highly.

There's also something about left handed people being smarter as well, I think that's crap too.

not entirely, I believe is has got to do with personalities as well. I mean a disorganised person can be smart or stupid but a organised person is more likely to have neat hand writing than the disorganised person.

Smarter people think faster, so they need to jot their ideas down faster, presuming faster writing generally produces messier writing.

Not very sharp, are you? Or perhaps, a page of your hand writing looks likes it's been typed via MS word?

Wouldn't you define neat handwriting as neater than half the people? Therefore there cannot be less people with a neat handwriting than a messy one.

Well, I did chemical physics at Edinburgh university and received a respectable 2.i so I'd like to hope I'm pretty bright (hope lol) - no need for the defence mechanisms or the insults please.

I'm challenging your comment that people who write faster are smarter. Now "you" need to defend why that is other than "just because". I've gave you my explanation whereas you have gave none. If you don't have the patience to have a constructive debate then you're making yourself look "not very sharp".

You sounded patronizing in the last post, hence the insult.

Anyway, we can't have a constructive debate as i cba to research stats for the topic, since its fairly trivial. My initial argument was derived through logical thought in lieu with RL experiences.

Mine isn't messy - it's just childish.

It hasn't really progressed since primary school and I get jealous looking at other adults' handwriting even if it's illegible!
