Is this the style where the characters look almost like scribbles and is reaaally hard to read?

sooo... Cao Shu is even more scribbly than this? As in the ones I usually see in banners/wall scrolls?
I know nothing about this, LOL. I briefly saw a mention of differing calligraphy style, but the Japanese ones (which I'm sure is the exact same thing but with different pronounciation).

There's several major styles in chinese caligraphy:
1. jikuwen- the acient bone writing
2. zhuan- qin dynasty writing. Look like long tubes.
3. Kai- the most common, normal way of writing, easiest to read.
4. Shin- it's kai shu linking up from letters to letters. (what i have here.)
5. Cao- it's the scribbliest, most artistic form of writing. Hardest to read.
6. other- mix breeds between these major styles.
