Do Identical Twins Have The Same Handwriting ?
« on: 09/09/2021 16:54:33 »
Dearest People With Degrees In Twinology,


Take a look at these identical twins,  they are identical in every single physical way as ewe can see.





Twins being identical in every conceivably physical way just moments ago.


Anyone here a twin ? triplet ? more so etc ?


Do Identical Twins Have the Same Handwriting ?


and if not..........why not ?


As a firm believer in empirical study I stood in front of a mirror and wrote some stuff. It was exactly the same but the other way around......so, it must be true eh ?

Oh to be a twin would be such fun
To play a trick on dad and mum
But to have some twins is the best of joy
I can't say why cos as a sheep I'm coy !

If you look close at the picture, they're actually mirror images and their handwriting is different because one is forced to write with their non-preferred hand.

That is very interesting. I understand they are different people just thought they might have similar/identical calligraphal  (new word I just made up).techniques.


Hmmm....what about clones then ?

were there any studies done on Dolly the sheep to see if Dolly had identical behavioral traits like her originator ?

Identical twins ARE biological clones.

There has been for handwriting, and one is easily distinguished from the other.
