Interpret Doodles
If you are a doodler, constantly drawing odd little designs while talking on the phone, sitting in class or at your desk, you may be interested to know that you can interpret your doodle designs. Handwriting experts believe that doodles may reveal subconscious thoughts, hidden emotions and secret desires. Now that you know, you can refer to all your doodle pads and learn something new about yourself.
Instructions
1. Recognize the difference between doodling and drawing. A doodle is an absent-minded scribble that happens without thought. Conscious drawings, whether they appear to be scribbles or works of art, are not considered doodles and cannot be interpreted.
2. Begin to interpret the basics. If you draw hearts, you are probably sentimental and thinking about love, and if you draw flowers, you are likely a friendly "people person." Left-brain thinkers tend to draw geometrical shapes, while ambitious optimists make celestial doodles, like stars and moons. If you are tense, you may be scribbling squiggles, or if you are competitive, you may be drawing swords or guns.
3. Look for the obvious meaning in shapes. Some benign shapes may be difficult to interpret, while others are obvious. Soft circles, clouds or a shining sun may reflect tranquility and peace while rigid, repeated lines might carry properties of aggression and frustration.
4. Interpret a wide collection of doodles, and not one single scribble. One doodle will most likely reveal little about a person's mental state, however coupling various interpretation methods with a group of doodles can be insightful. Consider coupling doodle analysis with handwriting and/or dream interpretation or even psychological assessment to delve deeper into the meaning of your doodles.
5. Consider whether the doodle is inspired by something internal or external. The scribbler may be simply expressing something about their surrounding environment at a given moment, such as a movie they just saw, music that is playing or the conversation they are having on the telephone. Doodles that are more significant are inspired by emotional or physical states, some inner conflict or subconscious thoughts that reflect the internal state of being.
