General meaning for Connectedness
The degree of connectedness in the handwriting is a very important element. Its significance lies in the fact that the extent to which we join up our letters is something we develop individually, and is almost impossible to change. Connectedness is a useful tool in establishing the writer's method of thinking. It also indicates the way in which the writer fits in to the world around him in the social sense.

The more connected the writing, the more single minded and inflexible the writer is likely to be. Conversely, the more disconnected the writing, the more the writer is likely to hop from one subject to another, demonstrating a short concentration span. Little breaks after the first letter (or capital letter), or when dotting an 'i' or crossing a 't' are normal and show that thought patterns are not lost when interrupted mid-stream.



Connected writing + left slant + heavy pressure = impenetrable

 Some interpretations for CONNECTED writing

Those writers who connect most of the letters, only making occasional breaks such as stopping to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's as they are written, are often logical thinkers and like to work with facts. It can also signify creative use of their imagination and a healthy degree of curiosity. If the writing is entirely connected without breaks, this can indicate fanaticism to such a degree that the writer may argue pedantically in order to pursue matters to the bitter end.

Connected writing indicates writers who may be :
logical cautious consistent
good at concentrating tenacious diligent
single minded curious steady workers
