What Do Your Doodles Mean?

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.
