Quiz: What is your slant on life?
- 5 Quick Questions to identify the "Can Do" employee.

This month we will explore the meaning of the slant of your writing.  For more on variable slant read this month’s article “What is your expression?” 

1. Does your writing slant to the right and a strong angle, 75 degrees from upright or more?

A far right slant is someone who expresses their feelings freely.  This can be good in some situations, but can also be inappropriate in others.  If this is you slant, take control and make sure you keep a lid on over expressiveness especially in business or at work. 

2. Does your writing slant to the right at a mild angle, less than 75 degrees from upright?

This is considered to be the most adaptable, acceptable slant in most situations.  It allows the writer to show quick sympathy and warmth, while not becoming overly emotional. 

3. Is your writing upright?

I call this the “air traffic controller syndrome” and if you are an air traffic controller this is a great trait to have!  It’s also great in any very emotional situation where it’s important to keep your cool.  However, people with an upright slant can have difficulty expressing their feelings, and can bottle things up over time, resulting in eventual explosions.  It is a good idea for upright writers to consciously allow themselves to express how they feel on a regular basis, whether that be to someone else or just to themselves.  Journaling can help, and when all else fails, a good cry can work wonders. 

4. Does your writing have a slight backhand slant, that is, does it slant towards the left by 25 degrees or less past upright?

A light backhand slant is someone who hold their feeling in temporarily, sometimes intentionally.  It is healthier to express feelings, so read #3 above, as the same solutions work for you. 

5. Does your writing have a strong backhand slant, more than 25 degrees past upright?

A strong backhand slant is an indication of shutting off your emotions from the outside world, and sometimes putting yourself in denial also.  The tips above in #3 can help, but also, working to write with less of a backhand slant, continuously until it becomes natural is a great idea.  People with this slant often find others less than open with them, and it is usually because others can feel the repression of feelings and, not knowing where it’s coming from or why, they tend to hold back their own when dealing with the backhand writer.

Article: What is your expression?

How you express yourself affects your entire life.  It affects how you respond to others, which in turn affects how others respond to you.  By just understanding where you are at, and where others who are important to you are at, can make a huge difference. 

The upright writer shows not much emotion. But it is important to understand that showing and feeling emotion are two different things.  The upright writer, and in fact any, writer can feel feelings just as strong and deeply as any other writer.  They just don’t express them. 

They can come across to others as cold or unfeeling. 

The other thing that can happen with them, is that as unexpressed feeling builds up and builds up, they eventually reach breaking point.  It’s often a case of the straw that broke the camel’s back.  Something not too enormous occurs and the upright writer just loses it and appears to have an explosion of temper. 

Once it’s over, it’s over and the upright writer is back to being cool, calm and collected again – but these explosions can damage relationships.  The solution is to try to express things as they happen. 

The farther right the slant, from upright, the more expressive the writer becomes, until you reach the extreme far right slant-er who shows far too much emotion much of the time, for the comfort of others. 

The back hand writer is the opposite, holding things in, to the detriment of their own mental health, and creating difficulties for themselves in relationships , where they can appear cold or uninterested. 

A slight right hand slant is considered the most acceptable both in terms of behavior and mental health.  It allows constant, but gentle expression of feelings, showing warmth but not an excess of emotion. 

Variable slants, at different times, from the same writer is not a problem usually, as it just means the writer is feeling more or less emotional at that given time.  Some situations create more emotion than others, so this is natural. 

However a widely varied slant within the same sample of writing is of more concern as it illustrates wide ranging emotional change and lack of emotional stability. 

Slant is a “global” trait, which means it effect reaches into all areas of the personality, and is therefore one of the most important to understand in understanding the writer.
