Psychology of Doodles

Looking at my notes from my two day meeting at work, I wondered, "Is there a psychology to doodles?"

Yes there is. Here is what my doodling says about my brain--ranked by doodle density.

Arrows indicate feelings of ambitiousness, drive, and motivation.

Boxes and cubes are universally the most common doodles. They indicate a desire to be constructive. If they're three-dimensional, they indicate an ability or an attempt to see all sides of an issue.

Triangles are the second most common universal doodles. They reveal a rational state of mind and a desire to see things come to a head.

Since they're made with round movements, circles indicate a more passive feeling than angles. They're associated with feeling sociable, talkative and friendly, with a desire to be flexible and loving.
