At the end of the 19th century, the name of Nikolai Chizhov, who had the ability to recognize people by their handwriting, thundered throughout St. Petersburg. While in Kyiv on business, he went to see the Reverend Theophilus and found with him the members of the pedagogical council of the Theological Academy, who were in great difficulty. Three graduates scored an equal number of points, and only one had to be chosen...
Chizhov looked at the essays of these students and said: “The author of this one is blond, reckless, thin... This one is nervous, selfish... And the third one is a handsome, lively, energetic brunette. So give him the championship, he’s worth it.” Amazed by the accuracy of the characteristics, members of the teachers' council began asking Chizhov how he managed to see from his handwriting not only a character trait, but also appearance. “I don’t know myself,” he answered, “I see, and that’s all…”
Much later, scientists will determine that the psychomotor movements of our fingers during writing are guided by electromagnetic impulses coming from the brain. Graphology data will be used in psychology for research individual characteristics character. In forensic science they will begin to be used for psychological diagnostics. In medicine, they will make it possible to identify early stages Parkinson's disease.
HANDWRITING IS LIKE A MIRROR
The science of handwriting and the reflection in it of the character traits of the writer arose almost simultaneously with the creation of writing. Its scientific foundations were laid by Plato’s student, the ancient Greek philosopher and naturalist Theophrastus. The term “graphology” itself was introduced in 1872 by the French scientist Jean Michon. At the same time, graphology emerged as a special discipline.
With the development of technology, the possibilities of graphology have greatly expanded. In the USA in the 80s of the XX century it was created computer program to determine the business qualities of applicants for vacant positions in institutions and companies. It is based on data from a study of the handwriting of 500,000 people. The computer almost instantly produces a person’s psychophysical characteristics based on 130 parameters.
Businessmen are very interested in how, judging by their handwriting, a person copes with overload, whether it is easy for him to bear the burden of responsibility, whether he has secret doubts about his competence - that is, those factors that cannot be revealed during a conversation when hiring a person.
Graphology is now taught in American universities. More than 3,000 American, 80% of German, more than half of large Swiss firms and companies conduct graphological analysis of handwriting when hiring or appointing to responsible positions.
So, graphology can do much more than just distinguish between two people based on their handwriting. An experienced graphologist will determine with a high degree of accuracy whether you are an optimist. this person or a pessimist, which sciences he is more suited to - the humanities.
GRAPHOLOGIST FROM GOD
Graphology is not so much a dry science as an art. No computer can capture information that can be easily deduced by an experienced graphologist. A written piece of paper seems to radiate the energy of the writer and even conveys his appearance. Extrasensory perception of handwriting is similar in nature to the ability of some people to make a medical diagnosis or determine the location of a person at a given moment from a photograph or personal belongings of a person.
In the December supplement to the magazine Nature and People for 1896, the story of the murder of lawyer Bernay in Brussels was published. There is no trace of the killers. We only managed to find out that he used the fictitious surname Vaughan, and to find a piece of paper written in his hand. We turned to a graphologist, and he gave the following conclusion:
“The temperament is hot, ardent, the character is bilious, the bones are wide, the muscles are developed, the age is average, the treatment is unfriendly. Tendency to anger and misanthropy. He turns pale when angry, has a regular gait, and does not like arguments. He has more arrogance than pride, he counts well and loves order in everything. Selfish, proud, ambitious, speaks little, subtle diplomat. He understands art and is devoid of any religious feelings. The face is dark, the eyes are most likely gray, the nose is slightly humpbacked, the hands are small with thin fingers, the teeth are good. He narrows his eyes, his pronunciation is not entirely clear. On right hand middle finger phenomenally developed."
In 10 days according to these exact signs the criminal was detained. Needless to say, computer graphology could provide only half of the listed signs. A graphologist from God is always also a psychic!
Here are examples from the recent past. One automobile company, which was suffering millions in losses from theft, having exhausted all funds, turned to a graphologist for help. After reviewing samples of the employees' handwriting, he stated that the company's vice president was involved in the crimes. They put him under surveillance and he was caught. Indeed, he led a criminal gang.
GRAPHOLOGISTS-CHECKISTS
In pre-revolutionary Russia, so little attention was paid to graphology that this term was not even included in the 82-volume Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron. In 1925, all Russian graphologists were registered. And they either stopped their legal activities or moved to the secret departments of the NKVD and then the KGB.
Soon all references to the work of graphologists disappeared from the Soviet press. The idea of graphology as a pseudoscience began to be cultivated in society. Meanwhile, graphologists-chekists determined from the ballot papers which of the deputies of the XIII Congress of the RCP (b) and the XVII Congress of the CPSU (b) voted against Stalin. A few years will pass, and all the “Protestants” will receive a bullet in the back of the head...
By the way, one of the most prominent Soviet graphologists, Semenov, a few days before Yesenin’s mysterious death, on behalf of the authorities, studied his handwriting and made a conclusion about the poet’s mental imbalance. Later, the same graphologist conducted an examination of Maxim Gorky’s handwriting.
The most famous graphologist who worked in the NKVD was Zuev-Insarov. While examining the autograph of the famous Soviet writer Vsevolod Ivanov, he wrote the following conclusion:
“An inquisitive and restless thought. Tendency to reflection and introspection. When decisive measures are required, he does not hesitate to take them, but is familiar with great hesitation. Many things, often fearing to remain completely misunderstood, are not expressed. Proud and capable of becoming stubborn. At times irritable and picky. He can do a lot of things at once, but he works unevenly. At moments he is highly gifted, at times he becomes apathetic. He does not lose self-control in serious moments of his life. He rarely gets along with people deeply: he loves the company of people of the same mood. In personal relationships, he has a rather soft-spoken nature, although at times difficult person. Impressive. Attacks of fears that often have no basis in reality. It is difficult to fit into the framework of everyday life. The complexity of personal experiences, sometimes expressed in the form of internal contradictions. Obsession of individual ideas."
Vsevolod Ivanov responded to this character study as follows: “Your characterization shocked me like a breath of enormous talent!”
AUTOGRAPH AS A MEMORY
Before the invention of the typewriter, manuscripts were the source material for reproduction. Therefore in primary schools ah was given great attention Calligraphy is the art of writing beautifully and legibly. Handwriting lessons disappeared from our elementary school curricula in the 1950s. And now, when computers have replaced typewriters everywhere, no one remembers beautiful handwriting, and most people write like a chicken with its paw.
Handwriting deteriorates sharply in moments of haste, from which writers of the last century suffered, trying not to miss inspiration. Victor Hugo's manuscripts resemble a battlefield, where fallen (crossed out) words are replaced by new warriors, not in battle order.
Typesetters agreed to work on Balzac's manuscripts only for an increased fee, and even then no more than an hour a day. The French philosopher Montaigne had such illegible handwriting that he had to hire a secretary to write his Essays in a form acceptable for printing. The great economist Charles Dickens wrote in microscopic letters, very sloppily and, in addition, with blue ink on blue (the cheapest) paper.
Currently, a large amount of handwriting has been preserved by doctors, and their handwriting has become the subject of jokes. Despite, however, the progress of typewriting technology, two types of handwriting have been preserved - autographs and signatures on documents. They lift the veil over the secrets of a person’s character. Graphologists say that a signature is a mirror of the soul. The more pretentious it is, the more a person’s opinion about himself deviates from reality.
Character in handwriting can be studied using the science of graphology. A professional graphologist can learn a lot about a person's personality from the way they write.
However, ordinary people, having familiarized themselves with the key points of graphology, will be able to generally determine character from handwriting.
Graphology - the science of definition personal qualities a person by his handwriting.
Determining the character of people by handwriting
Graphologists, as a rule, study several sheets of paper written by a person for serious analysis.
It is believed that a person writes less naturally on the first sheet than on subsequent ones. Therefore, the last pages of long texts are of greatest interest in order to study character in handwriting.
How to determine character by handwriting? Before studying the character by handwriting, carefully look at the piece of paper itself on which the text is written.
A leaf can tell a lot about its owner:
- For example, small leaf paper with torn edges, traces of grease or dirt indicates that its owner is most likely a slob, a bungler and, possibly, a greedy person.
- A large, neat, blank piece of paper often suggests generosity and neatness, but can also be evidence of extravagance.
Size
When determining character by handwriting, consider the size of the letters. Size changes with age and also depending on current physical condition.
- For example, with age and fatigue, the writing of words becomes larger. It is believed that handwriting between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five provides the most reliable information.
- Medium sized letters are the most common. If you come across such letters while studying character in handwriting, know that they do not provide any specific information about its owner.
- Largely written symbols indicate that their owner has leadership abilities. Such people are emotional and easy to communicate with. They meet and establish new connections without any problems.
- Small letters speak of a person’s determination and restraint. Sometimes they are a sign of a hidden and withdrawn personality.
Fields
To find out the character by handwriting, carefully examine the fields:
- People who leave narrow margins often have qualities such as thrift. Sometimes narrow margins can indicate pettiness of the author. The narrower the fields, the more pronounced the quality of frugality, sometimes it can reach the point of stinginess.
- Wide margins, on the contrary, indicate the author’s generosity. The wider the fields, the more likely that a person will turn out to be not only generous, but also wasteful. Excessively wide brims can also speak of vanity, desire for luxury and boasting.
Pen pressure
By studying pressure, you can find out not only the character of the handwriting, but also emotional condition person at the time of writing. The stronger the emotions, the stronger the pressure.
- Strong pressure is typical for energetic people and workaholics. Such people easily establish contact with others and have a low degree of isolation.
- Light pressure, on the contrary, is typical for people who prefer loneliness and tranquility to communication. Such natures are often romantics.
Line direction
When studying character by handwriting, carefully consider how the lines are written:
- People prone to frequent mood swings and adventures often have “wavy” lines when writing. In some cases, such lines indicate the author’s penchant for deception and resourcefulness.
- Straight lines, written as if using a ruler, reveal people who are reasonable and restrained. Often such people have adequate self-esteem and soberly assess their capabilities.
- A line going up indicates that its author is .
- The line goes down - the author is probably a pessimist or has low self-esteem.
Connectivity of letter elements
When determining character by handwriting, study the connectedness of the elements of the letter:
- The handwriting of a person who writes all the symbols together indicates that he is a straightforward person with predominant logical thinking. Often such people are enterprising and prone to criticism.
- People with well developed imaginative thinking Often all letters are written separately.
- If a letter contains strings of two or three letters, this indicates the author’s balance.
Letter form
Determining character from handwriting includes studying the shape of letters:
- Angular and sharp symbols. If you come across this style of writing while studying character by handwriting, know that it is often a sign of selfishness.
- Round and smooth - characteristic feature compliance and pliability. Such people can be too loyal; it is usually difficult for them to achieve their goals.
Letter slant
To recognize the character of handwriting, pay attention to its slope:
- A slight slant to the left indicates that the author tends to criticize others. Such a person often puts his own interests above the interests of others.
- If the letters lean strongly to the left, then this indicates the author’s stubbornness and tendency to consider his point of view the only correct one.
- When determining character by handwriting, most often you will have to deal with a slight tilt to the right. Such a tilt, as a rule, does not say anything about the writer. This is how they teach you to write in school.
- If the letters lean very much to the right, then the author is . He is purposeful. Often this inclination is found among jealous people and people who are capable of falling very much in love.
- Symbols without tilt indicate a stubborn cough. Such people usually think through their actions well, assess the state of things and act with confidence.
Signature
Studying character from handwriting, Special attention pay attention to the signature. The signature gives a lot of information about the character of its owner:
- If, when determining character from a letter, you come across a regular signature, that is, it does not have any additional elements, then this speaks of the courage and confidence of its owner.
- The signature contains an underline - the author is an enterprising person.
- The signature has loops - the author is an observant person.
- The signature is crossed out - the author is an impulsive and active person.
- Circled signature - the author is a coward or.
- Pay special attention to the capital letter when studying character in handwriting:
- The more intricately decorated the capital letter, the stronger the author's need for recognition and attention from others.
- If, when studying the character of the handwriting, you see a small capital character, then perhaps the lines belong to a squeezed person.
Temperament by handwriting
Graphologists believe that you can not only study character from handwriting, but also find out temperament. Each temperament has its own writing characteristics:
- Choleric. This type is characterized by a tilt to the right. The signs are wrapped up and confused. The pressure is strong. The spacing between words is not the same.
- Phlegmatic person. Letter spacing is different. The letters themselves are bold, but their thickness is inconsistent.
- Sanguine. Sanguine people often have beautiful handwriting. The letters are running and sweeping. The lines are uneven.
- Melancholic. Uneven fields are typical. The letters are dancing and have long strokes and dashes.
Personal qualities in handwriting
By determining character by handwriting, you can also identify some qualities of a person:
- Hot temper. Hot-tempered people are characterized by symbols that rise above the line. The hooks of the last letters of the word are lowered below the lines.
- Sensitivity. Often there are unfinished characters, the pressure is uneven, there is a slant, the letters are pale.
- Mind. Letters have no decorative elements, there is little or no slope. The distance between words is the same. The letters are medium size, round.
- Stupidity. Availability unusual hooks. Different distance between words, uneven pressure. Capital letters are drawn with great care and originality. The letter seems pretentious.
- Will. The letters are connected to each other. The pressure is uniform. The number of strokes is small. The letters are clear, the letter contains very few decorations, and is round.
- Coolness. With uneven lines, as a rule, the last word is written exactly in its place. The letters are neat, the distance between words is different.
- Equilibrium. It gives the feeling that all the symbols are “intertwined”. The handwriting is beautiful, but may initially appear illegible. The lines are straight.
- Cruelty. Sometimes letters have underlines. They are usually carefully rendered, hooked, flattened, but look rough and bold.
When determining character by handwriting, remember that it is common for a person to have several qualities at once.
Appearance by handwriting
You can determine not only character by handwriting, but also appearance:
- Short stature. The writing of words has strokes, the letters are elongated. The letters seem sweeping and trying to “grow.” Letters ending words are often not fully spelled out.
- High growth. The letters, as in the previous case, have strokes, but are not stretched. They walk in even rows, looking like a fence. It doesn’t look ornate, but it’s not solid. The pressure may be uneven.
- Average height. The letters at the beginning of the line are characterized by condensation. Towards the end of the line the letters become rarer. The last characters may be written below the line.
- Slenderness. Punctuation marks appear small. Letters can be elongated.
- Completeness. The pressure on the same letter is uneven. More often, the second part of the letter has stronger pressure. There may be unfinished characters.
- Blondes. Blonde-haired people tend to have a legible writing style. Toward the end of the line, the letters may become narrower. As a rule, the symbols are not large.
- Brunettes. The letters are raised above the line. Capital letters may have decorations. All elements are carefully produced and have beautiful shape. The lines often go up.
Occupation by handwriting
Handwriting character and appearance are not the only things that can be learned about a person from the way he writes:
- Uneven, sloppy. Characteristic for pharmacists and businessmen.
- Jerky, galloping. Characteristic for people studying and working with languages.
- With lots of touches. People who do mental work often have professors.
- Descending. A characteristic feature of poets, dreamers, philosophers.
- Vertical, simple. Feature of mathematicians and engineers.
- Wavy. Characteristic of creative people, artists, sculptors.
NATALIA EROFEEVSKAYA
Graphologists claim that handwriting helps to determine distinctive character traits. To understand character, you need to know the signs of writing letters. It has been noticed that people's handwriting, like their character, is different.
What is graphology and who are graphologists?
Graphology is a science that studies handwriting, as an example - a graphological analysis of a person’s character based on his handwriting. Graphologists, as follows from the definition, are people capable of performing such analysis. Although until the middle of the last century the methods of this science were considered to be those that help to study the characters of people in psychology, in our time this doctrine of the inextricable connection between character and handwriting is considered pseudoscientific, it is classified as proto-scientific thinking. In medicine, this term is found in the form of the possibility of studying handwriting as an auxiliary element for monitoring diseases of the brain and central nervous system.
Modern scientists are skeptical about graphology, despite the past achievements of science.
The scientific community questions the reliability of graphology. A considerable number of researchers graphology is recognized as a pseudoscience. The British Society of Psychologists puts graphology on a par with astrology. Despite the fact that the science of studying handwriting and character analysis initially found support in scientific circles, and despite the fact that some studies support the validity of such a theory, most scientists are confident that graphology has no predictive ability.
But there are still many who believe in the ability of graphology to determine the main character traits. Of course, no one guarantees 100% probability and accuracy in judgments, but approximate characteristics of a person will be indicated by handwriting.
Why do you need a psychological analysis of personality based on handwriting?
It is worth immediately noting that the description of handwriting makes it possible to make probable conclusions, but not exact statements. In addition, analysis of human handwriting in psychology with examples is common and is considered to provide general characteristics human psychology, but not accurate. In addition, graphologists require at least a page of text that is handwritten, and also better pair, which were written in dissimilar situations.
Why is analysis needed? Often personnel workers it is required to identify the main personality qualities, character traits and mental state of the applicant. This will make it possible to more accurately determine its suitability for the job. In addition, knowledge of graphology will help an individual decide when choosing or changing a field of activity. Remember that every sign should not be considered as an absolute dogma. It needs to be compared with other features.
Handwriting analysis will allow you to find the main character traits. Sometimes this is important when applying for a job.
An interesting discovery was made by Western scientists. It turned out that people who have lost their arms are trying to write the same letters with their feet and mouth as they wrote earlier. It turns out that we write like this: as the brain tells us, and the hands only follow orders.
For this reason handwriting is a mirror of a person. This fact was also proven by the biologist Preyer. He conducted an experiment using hypnosis. The person was told that he was angry or boastful, while at the same time a text was dictated to him. As a result, the handwriting turned out to be different, with characteristic features.
What does handwriting depend on?
Many people are interested in the question what does our handwriting depend on? If you believe the observations of scientists, our handwriting depends not only on age, but also on profession and position. Moreover, each of us has several handwritings. One is for personal notes, another is for important statements, the third is for congratulations and letters to friends.
But for graphologists they are all the same; even parsing crooked handwriting (for example, as a result of illness or stress) is not difficult. In all handwritings of one person, only the size of the letters and quality are changed, the internal structure does not change. It would seem, what is the dependence of character and these scribbles? Developed by scientists system of signs, which explains the features of a person’s handwriting and his character.
Some of them are immediately visible, others - if you look closely, but still others are in no way connected with experience. There are many dark spots in this science, or as scientists are sure, pseudoscience, but this does not prevent people from using graphology in practice.
Determining character from a person’s handwriting with examples
So let's consider signs for graphological analysis and find out what a person’s handwriting says using examples:
Incline
20-30 degrees in right side
. This is the most popular slope. Such people can be called open-minded, but they cannot be said to be impulsive. A person is characterized by the ability to control emotions in tense, emergency situations.
If the slope is stronger, 50-60 degrees to the right– an indicator of the desire for communication and love. These people will most likely try to show their feelings. A person with a similar style is receptive to everything new. At the same time, owners of this inclination have developed possessive instincts.
Slight tilt to the left speaks of the predominance of reason over emotions. Such people are secretive and rational.
Large tilt to the left more common in left-handed people. There is great control of emotions, secrecy combined with sensuality.
If no tilt– balance of emotions and rationality.
Pressure
Nowadays, when many varieties of pens have appeared, it is sometimes difficult to determine the pressure. But if you can take it apart, it will help a lot.
Strong pressure- evidence of perseverance, energy, and ability to work. They are sociable individuals who love their work and people.
If the pressure is superficial and light, then such individuals are distinguished by sensitivity and subtlety of nature. These are often introverts whose self-control helps them cope with important tasks.
If average pressure force, then such a person is more predictable, she likes to explore the outside world.
Combination of pressure and other characteristics
Even letters and light pressure – rationality of thoughts, high morality, discipline. Large round letters and light pressure – weak will, non-conflict, altruism. Strong emphasis on capital letters - energy, leadership and creativity.
Line arrangement
If the lines remain horizontal to the end of the sheet, there is balance in everything. Such people carefully think through all their actions.
If the handwriting goes up, you have an optimistic nature. In a career - purposefulness.
The lines go down - a skeptic, realistically assesses events.
An uneven line means mood swings and poor adaptability.
Roundness of letters
Decoding round letters in a person’s handwriting indicates the individual’s readiness to cooperate. Such a person is not persistent; he is open to others. But he is worse at doing things that require perseverance.
Remember that all these qualities must be analyzed together. Separately, it is impossible to create even an approximate portrait. Everything must be double-checked in comparison with other features.
Space between lines and words
Often, the density of words is an indicator of frugality. The further the distance, the more wasteful a person is.
Margin size
This is an indicator that helps identify the level of waste. Vast fields everywhere - excellent taste, craving for art. If they are rational, it is an indicator of prudence. Narrow, even on the sides - a tendency towards frugality. If the text occupies the entire sheet, and the margins are very small, the desire to get the maximum.
Letter size
How to understand a person's character by small or large handwriting?
Small letters indicate the ability to concentrate in one direction. These are non-aggressive individuals. If the capital letters are also too large - courage and pride. If they are too small, there is a lack of courage. Small handwriting with small distances - a secretive nature, a person who loves solitude.
Large letters found in expansive, somewhat aggressive natures. If capital letters graceful - the ability to attract people to oneself, romantic nature.
Middle letters occur in many people, so they cannot be taken as a separate indicator for analysis.
Printed letters
What does printed handwriting mean? The nature of such a letter is to write block letters where written letters should be - which means that the person seeks to replace his outdated views on life with modern ones.
Decorations
How does curly handwriting characterize a person? Availability in letter various decorations(curly “lid” on the letter “th”, curls, vignettes, etc.) indicates a person’s desire to attract attention and the superficiality of his thinking.
Loops
If no bottom loops, then the person is distinguished by independent thinking and prefers the search for simple explanations. They are inventive and adaptable.
The loops at the bottom are narrow- an indicator of caution, spirituality, love for family. Wide extended lower loops - the desire to satisfy material needs. Too large loops at the bottom - a person does not like to be tied to something.
Loops too small at top and bottom- indecision to take the path of independence.
Breaks in words
If breaks are located in every word, then the person is inclined to believe in intuition. This sign is correlated with another. If there are no breaks in the words, this is a sign of logic.
Letter sizes
If words begin with capital letters and then decrease, the person is in a position where strict secrecy is very important. Words begin with small letters and then increase in size - a person does not know how to keep secrets.
Graphology and signature
A special place in this science is given to signature analysis. It takes us a long time to come up with and model an autograph. For this reason, it is believed that the writing of the text determines the personality of a person, what he is, and the signature - what he wants to be. This is the key to predicting changes in personality and character, in fate.
We choose the signature for ourselves, it contains important information about our goals and aspirations.
Signatures, like handwritten text, are examined according to parameters, which include the length and sharpness of the letters, interesting characters and the unity of the letters, the distance between them and the pressure force, dots, hooks, etc. Let's consider some characteristics:
direction. Here, take a look at where the tip of the signature is pointing. If up - optimistic nature, energy, desire for goals. Direct – balance in personality. Down – pessimistic moods;
length. Long signatures speak of thoroughness, slowness, and perseverance. Short – a person is constantly in a hurry, takes things lightly;
letter size. If the first letter is noticeably different from the rest, then the person is capricious and overly demanding of others. With a slight difference from other letters - modesty. Small letter sizes – rationality, economy, concentration. Capital letters - dreamy nature, trusting, impractical;
breaks and connection. If all the letters are connected - evidence of logic and consistency, conservatism of views. If noticed small number gaps – adaptability and flexibility of thinking. A large number of breaks - daydreaming;
decorations. If a person likes to brag and embellish himself, then this is immediately noticeable in the signature, because it is also decorated: with ribbons, curls, etc. The number of curls shows the level of insincerity of the personality, secrecy. But jewelry is found among creative individuals: actors, musicians. A testament to the richness of imagination then. Mathematicians' signatures are often “naked.” The letters seem to be losing some parts;
letter spacing. This sign determines the level of generosity: at a great distance - high level. If the letters are almost on top of each other - stinginess and frugality;
ponytails, underlining. If the signature is underlined at the bottom, then the person is characterized by pride, touchiness, and is interested in the opinions of others. If the line is on top - pride, vanity, desire for something new. But the length of the host at the end of the signature speaks about people’s reaction to interference in their affairs. The longer the tail, the less people tolerates comments and decrees. If the signature is crossed out - evidence of self-dissatisfaction, self-criticism, hesitation;
dot. This is a positive sign. If there is a dot in the signature, this is evidence of discipline, the desire to finish what you started. If it stands at the end, a person finishes what he started under any circumstances. At the beginning of the signature - the desire to obtain complete data before starting work;
repetition of elements. Identical signs indicate obsessiveness in actions and thoughts, and established habits. Along with this, this sign is an indicator of perseverance and the ability to easily cope with monotonous work.
Conclusion
This article discusses the most important criteria, the so-called key points for working with handwriting and analyzing its elements that can shed light on the personal characteristics of its owner. But there are still many nuances that help determine the character by signature. If you wish, it is possible to master such skills on your own, but to do this you will have to analyze a lot of handwritten texts of closely acquainted people, whose character is known to one degree or another.

Handwriting can be very different: neat, neat, small, large, ornate, beautiful, careless, and so on. Each person has a special, individual handwriting. As a rule, handwriting is formed at the age of 10-11 years. But it finally develops around the age of 20. However, in some cases, handwriting changes throughout life.
A person's handwriting can tell about its owner. Scientists have been able to prove that a person’s character and his handwriting are somehow connected. This will be discussed in our material.
How to determine a person’s character by handwriting: the influence of character on handwriting, the science of graphology
Graphology- a science that studies the dependence of handwriting on a person’s character. Graphological analysis is carried out due to certain parameters. An important role is played by the direction of each line, the peculiarity of the writing of a particular letter, the inclination of the letters, location on the sheet, and so on.
Thanks to the combination of such parameters, the characteristics of an individual person are formed. If the analysis was carried out correctly, you can easily find out your personality growth, ability to sexual preferences, and tendency to drug addiction.
Currently, many companies use the services of professional graphologists. Thanks to them, characteristics of people who are hired are compiled, plus an assessment of the characteristics of competitors is made.
Don't be alarmed if, when applying for a job, they offer you a blank piece of paper, a simple pencil, and tell you to write a few random sentences. You cannot fool a graphologist, but you can artificially distort your own handwriting. In return, you will receive a personality profile that may not be suitable for the position you have chosen.
What does the slant of handwriting say about a person’s character: description with examples
The characteristics of handwriting can tell us about the level of emotional reaction and the degree of understanding of other people. It is very difficult to find people who have perfect calligraphy.
But before you consider your own handwriting ugly, understand its inclination and the location of each letter:
- If your letters are located strictly vertical, then you are considered a calm and calm person. You are often indifferent to other people.
- If your letters have slight tilt to the right, then you react softly to the world. You are not particularly restrained, because before you show certain emotions, you first think carefully about everything.
- Letters slanted strongly to the right indicates that you are constantly emotionally tense and impulsive.
- Did your letters look while you were writing? left, then you are considered a cold person. You protect yourself as much as possible from external stimuli and often act selfishly towards other people.
How to recognize a person’s character by letters and combinations of letters: description with examples
- If every letter in the document connected with each other, then you have a consistent, logical character. You are conservative in some views and have a complex perception of everything that is new to you.
- If in your handwriting moderate number of spaces between letters, then your thinking is considered quite deep, plus adaptive. This indicates that you know how to bring the desired and the actual into harmony.
- If in your handwriting a lot of gaps between letters, then you have figurative concrete thinking. Your actions are unpredictable, you are a dreamy person, you strive to pay more attention to yourself and produce best impression of people.
- If the distance between letters is very large, then you are afraid to contact other people. Get acquainted with a certain person causes difficulties for you, but after you get close to him, he seems like an interesting person to you.
- Slight spacing between letters indicates that you are an open person. You like to let people get very close to you and you love it when you have a lot of people to talk to.
What does the pressure of handwriting say about a person’s character?
Particular attention should be paid to the pressure of letters in handwriting. Remember that it is pressure that characterizes the real emotions of each person.
- If you press hard when you write, then your emotions are constant and stable in any sensation.
- If you write without putting too much pressure on your pen or pencil, then you are someone who can be easily influenced by people.
