DeB’s telling ‘signs’

Experts see sloppy, stubborn & aggressive

Hizzoner writes like a butterfly — and stings with his Bs.

When Mayor de Blasio scrawled his John Hancock on thousands of documents and 498 laws, he surpassed his predecessor’s first term activity by 72 percent — and unwittingly revealed a battery of personality flaws, handwriting gurus said.

De Blasio is inconsistent, emotional, proud and stubborn, and the speed with which he pens his “Bs” shows aggression, according to graphologists and experts who analyzed several examples of his signature and handwriting provided by The Post.

“This is a fast writing, very aggressive,” Ruth Brayer of Brayer Handwriting International says. “He’s unwilling to spend time on details.”

Sheila Kurtz of Graphology Consulting Group said the mayor’s “light hand” shows he’s “unstrained by most stresses.” The mayor, she determined, “flits from one thing to another, without much seriously affecting him.”

Graphology is a pseudoscience that studies handwriting as a pro- jection of personality traits, looking at letter shape, spacing and speed of movement.

Some handwriting experts, such as Brayer, primarily conduct forensic analysis.

Just two of the experts consulted by The Post are based in New York City, while the other two are from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. All said they never met de Blasio personally.

Handwriting expert Marc J. Seifer says the large, even spaces between de Blasio’s words are “a sign of existential loneliness.” The changing slant between the first capital “B” and lower-case “d” in de Blasio’s signature suggests he’s “being pulled in two directions by [his] parents who did not see eye to eye,” Seifer adds.

“He has a strong sense of pride — he really cares what other people think and he can be sensitive to criticism,” Greg Greco of the International Graphoanalysis Society says. “He can get very stubborn.”

De Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips wasn’t impressed. “If you hired a mind reader, you’d know how stupid I think this story is.”
