I have some of the most impressively bad handwriting, but it actually only comes out at certain times. Like when I'm taking notes, usually I can't even read it unless I clean it up immediately afterword. But if I'm doing math work it looks alot better than usual. (Probably just because I don't rush it.)

I have literally had bad handwriting since I learned how to write. I used to always get in trouble for going over/below the line even when just doing Aa Bb Cc Dd exercises. Now I'm 28, and I can't really say I've improved.

Side note, I'm not saying this isn't possible, but it's funny that 15% of people taking the poll say they're "average."

I have probably the worst handwriting out of anyone that I know. A lot of time I will write down some notes or something for class and go back and not understand a single word that I wrote. Doctor`s handwriting is stereotypically bad so since about 8 years old all my teachers have said I would make a great doctor.

On top of that even when I attempt to make my writing look good, which takes about 10 times longer to write something, it still doesn`t look the greatest and someone could EASILY write something with better handwriting than me in a fraction of the time.

EDIT: Also my computer engineering teacher says that bad handwriting is a sign of intelligence haha

Mine is legible, but doesn't look that great. I consider myself a good athlete and extremely coordinated, but writing is one thing that always bothers be because it doesn't look neat and nice. Same with my signature.

Mine is pretty bad, I have to do effort or I might not even be able to read what I just wrote.

I'd say mine's average. Not very fancy, but definitely readable.

I think mine is pretty average, it's pretty readable but can get better.
And i am surprised by how many people think their handwriting is bad :O Maybe we spend way too much time on computers seeing the perfect handwriting :O

Awful lot of engineers here, apparently.

I quickly lose motivation to write neatly... I consider myself capable of writing neatly but I rarely do ^^
