Any graphologists around?

What do you make of this writing? Leaning sharply backwards, dead upright & sharply forwards all in the same sentence? I reviewed a job application letter today & every line was like this. I cannot imagine how awkward it must be to write like that..Hmm

I'm not a graphologist but that sounds like SUCH an odd and jarring style that it would make me intrigued. Is it the same handwriting throughout? Have to say I would like to see it!!
Armchair opinion: I would have questions around educational attainment (due to 'unnatural' style making written communication difficult and also it not having been addressed by teachers/parents.) I would also wonder about the self awareness of the candidate. I definitely tailor my own writing for the occasion (bigger and bolder for birthday cards or notes, smaller and uniform for work stuff). I would wonder, given the style, why they didn't simply choose ONE type of presentation (upright?) and stick with it.
Mystifying!

Could be they have difficulty holding or controlling a pen, maybe dyspraxia, arthritis, hypermobility... Sounds like my handwriting tbh, but luckily I've never needed to use it to apply for a job as graphology went out of fashion when I graduated.
