Are you surprised to learn that bad handwriting can be a sign of fast brain functioning? According to Arnold L. Gesell’s research published in the American Journal of Psychology, students with high scores often have sloppy handwriting, like doctors. However, despite their bad handwriting, their spellings, sentences, and information are always correct, indicating fast processing of information by the brain.
This research suggests that while the physical movements in the hand for fast writing may not be as possible, the brain is able to process data at a much higher speed. In essence, bad handwriting could be a sign of advanced cognitive abilities and intelligence.
Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard University, also supports this idea with his theory of multiple intelligences. He claims that individuals with bad handwriting may have higher IQ and a fast, intelligent mind, indicating a mismatch between the functioning of the brain and hand muscles required for writing neatly and quickly.
In summary, both psychological research and theories of intelligence support the idea that bad handwriting could be a sign of superior cognitive abilities and intelligence. So, next time you come across someone with bad handwriting, don’t be quick to judge – they might just be a genius in disguise!
