There are 7.3 billion different people on this earth. This video means absolutely nothing.
The reason why people try to come up with these so-called tricks is from out instinctive need to classify stuff.
Friends from foes, light from dark, happy from sad, rich from poor... etc.
So basically they try to classify people using their handwriting but they could have tried to classify them by the way they open an envelope, the way they mow their lawn, the way they comb their hair, the way they brush their teeth, the way they eat their M&M...
All of these are meaningless and can be sometimes fun... The problem starts when some people make important decisions such as hiring people based on those flawed techniques.
Most job interviewers base themselves on idiotic stuff when they hire someone. For instance the firmness of a handshake, which means absolutely NOTHING about a person's character, skills or honesty.
To push the point, most HR people end up hiring the wrong person at the end of the day.. Imagine all the people you know at work that obviously don't belong there... Well now realize that they are the ones who came up on top during the interview process... Which should tell you everything you need to know about the Hocus-Pokus crap that a job interview is.
Based on current hiring techniques, Albert Einstein himself would be out of a job, collecting social security.

This isn't entirely fair. People may suffer from various diseases that make their handwriting almost intelligible. And the most beautiful writing / font may hide a trap.
Stephen Hawking can't use his hands at all and still knows more about the universe by just thinking. He also reflects on the human responsibility to this planet.

One of the most brilliant people I ever met had copper plate as his normal handwriting...he also had the most evil and twisted mind I've ever come across, and was probably the most dangerous person I've ever met.

We humans are hardwired to detect patterns in everything! This has been extremely beneficial because it allows us to establish cause and effect in our lives. For example: "If i water my crops regularly, i will have food for the winter." At the same time we are prone to false positives like "If i pray to the goddess Demeter, my crops will grow."
The only method that allows us to determine if a pattern is actually there and if there is an underlying causality, is the scientific method.
Science has shown that graphology, astrology, iridology ... aren't real, yet we cling to such irrational beliefs to the point, that it is still used for criminal profiling by some police forces.

#5 Well I hope you killed him before he did any real damage.
I showed my hand writing to a hand writing expert and she said it was illegible then she corrected three spellings and gave me 3 out of 10 and wrote must try harder in red ink, which I couldn't read, so I told her she wouldn't get anywhere in life being so critical gave her 1 out of 10 and told her to start the next game of bingo.
