3) Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote this on graphpaper. The written sample is slightly bent in transferring it to copy, and with that in mind; I will adjust my analysis to accomodate this. This is a prelude of work to the song "Hey, Jude" so the time of this sample is about 1969. McCartney was about 27 years old when he wrote this. Because this is a draft of the song; I will recognize that spacing may be unusual because of the "stop" and "go" handwriting of this type of sample.
The striking features of Paul's writing is that it is not the traditional ear oriented handwriting, so typical of musicians. Ironically, this is a rather visual hand. But don't be fooled, the marvelous rhythm of the writing shows us of his musical talent. The writing is simplified, the pressure appears rather light and variant. The garlands are open and true, and there are easy angles mixed in. There is some expansion in the letter spacing. Tri-zonal balance is excellent, but tri-zonal fluency is not. The baseline is even, and slightly bouncy [even taking into consideration that the paper is lined]
There are some inconsistincies though. Some of the upstrokes are overly light, while others are not. The lower zone exhibits some problems as there are numerous different styles, including points and tics. A key point is that the slant is consistent and upright throughout. The stable axis is often bent from a rightward force.
I will refer to McCartney in the past tense, since the sample was written over 30 years ago, and his personality could have changed by now. If that is the case, then his handwriting would have changed too.
Paul was a real friend, easy going, and low keyed. He was a peacemaker. [light pressure, true garlands, and easy angles] Paul was the one who kept his head cool and calm when all hell would break around him [upright slant]. He used his easy manner and demeanor to go straight to the heart of matters, eliminating unecessary and irrelevant details. Paul was well balanced as a whole, and could adapt himself to the needs of others to keep the peace. Paul had no problem adapting and "rolling with the punches" [round forms, and easy angles] Even when he disagreed with the point of view of others, Paul was polite in the manner of his disagreement. He would "think before he acted".
While we all know that McCartney was very successful when this sample was written; Paul was not interested in achievement. He was not goal oriented, instead preferred to "flow and go with the flow". Paul did not have a great deal of aspirations when he wrote this sample.
McCartney was a bright young man and a fairly quick thinker.[The keys to intelligence are upper zone height and emphasis, speed, and simplification of forms.] He kept his intellect under wraps often perhaps either because he wasn't so confident of this aspect of himself or out of respect for others with less intelligence McCartney always kept a "clear" head, and was well organized as the sample shows excellent spatial skills. There are high i-dots in the script along with neatly placed i-dots depicting a person with imagination and attention to detail. Since the sample is simplified, the interpretation is that Paul recognized the difference between important details and those that were of a lower priority.
McCartney is having certain problems with his physical life at this time. [The lower zone shows tension and lacks harmony, while everything else is very easy going and rhythmic. Here is what is displaying a break in the tri-zonal fluency] Paul felt uncomfortable in regard to his romantic relationships.
Remember, I will reiterate that this is Paul McCartney as he was at age 27. Today, he may be the exact same person, but it is unlikely. We all change as we grow and mature. I am sure that Paul McCartney has experienced many changes in his life, and is not the same person today, as he was then. And this analysis is just for the purpose of entertainment and nothing else.

What we should do is give him a signature of Faul's from the same time period as the one he analyzed, & then a true Paul McCartney. But - they have to be no more then a few years apart. Maybe 1965 & 1968. If they show a drastic difference he's going to declare one a forgery. No person's handwriting can change that much in 3 years !!!!
