My hand-writing used to be pretty good, when I was younger, because I went to a Catholic grade school where they stressed hand-writing, a lot. But when I was in my 20s, I developed a thyroid disorder that caused my hands to shake badly, and my hand-writing became unreadable. Now it's better, though not as it was. But it doesn't really matter, anymore, as I type most everything I write now days, anyway.
My avatar is more reflective of me than my signature ever would be.

Yes to the above, had the trained formal penmanship, yet now pens, I mean real pens are a thing of the past, obsolete, moribund, archaic, whatever, they are gone with the quills.
I have been told my writing looks like and EEG, if that helps?

In hindsight, I really don't understand the point of forcing children to learn cursive.
Cursive is basically only used when signing one's name.
Is months of abrasive, obsessive tutelage really necessary for that?
The purpose of the act of writing is to convey information, either to oneself (for recordkeeping) or to someone else (for communication).
I know many people who can't read "proper" cursive.
So as a form of communication, cursive fails compared to "printing," i.e. legible handwriting.

An odd combination of cursive and print with a few quirks thrown in because they please my sense of line. My writing slants to the right and upward off of the line, which I've been told indicates an outgoing and optimistic personality.

How would you say it reflects your personality?
As much as penmanship can, but I should add that I'm a left hand leaning ambidextrous fellow writing with his right hand (first grade teacher's practical joke to last a lifetime). Never learned that skill with my left. I expect it would be more readily comprehensible had I.

My penmanship is very legible. I think. How it reflects my personality is that I distinctly remember that when I was learning cursive writing, I think it was third grade, the teacher said that "it should be slanted" and I thought "that can't be right" "why would I make it crooked"?. To this day my handwriting has no slant.
