For example where the horizontal "bar" of the t is placed on the vertical "stem" indicates where one places their goals, while the height of the t stem indicates the potential to accomplish those goals. A low t bar indicates goals or self esteem set lower than what can be accomplished.A t bar high on the stem indicates goals set high and a high self esteem. A t bar that is above the stem indicates setting goals higher than can be accomplished.A cursive y that has been crossed back over ornately or several times can indicate a perverted state of mind.
