Among the sources of psychological analysis of an employee’s personality, a special place is occupied by statements and reports, complaints and proposals prepared in handwritten form.
Based on these and other documents, a manager, be it a personnel employee or another HR specialist, can draw a conclusion not only about the employee’s literacy level, but also about his ability to express his thoughts and convey own feelings and condition.
Graphologists claim that handwriting helps to reveal individual characteristics person.
In order to read a person like a book, you need to know the system of handwriting characteristics, each of which corresponds to a specific character trait of the subject.
It has long been noted that handwriting is as noticeably different from each other as the individual nature of people, like their fingerprints. Let's remember how easily we recognize some handwritings: when we see our boss's visa on an incoming document or when we receive a letter from a friend. Based on one painting or a few words, we can already unmistakably identify the author.
Of course, there is a temptation to recognize the entire inner nature of a person from handwriting...
It is immediately necessary to make a reservation that:
- firstly, graphology allows you to obtain probabilistic conclusions, and not absolute statements;
- secondly, handwriting analysis provides a general assessment of a person’s mental makeup, and not precise characteristics of his individual properties;
- thirdly, it is believed that a graphologist should have at least one page of text and, even better, if it is possible to study several texts written in different situations and at different times.
So, what is handwriting analysis for? Most often personnel worker it is required to determine the main traits of character and temperament, as well as abilities and characteristics from handwriting mental states employee. This allows you to more accurately assess his suitability for the position or type of activity. Sometimes knowledge of graphology helps in professional self-determination, choosing a profession or changing it. But analyzing the handwriting of a senior manager makes it possible to determine it psychological characteristics and build a good relationship with him. Finally, if you carefully analyze your writing style and constructively evaluate your mental makeup, it will certainly help you to be more productive in your work. interpersonal relationships with the immediate environment.
It is important to remember that no feature in handwriting should be considered an absolute dogma. It must be compared with other signs in order to detect confirmation of one or another character trait or the presence of signs of personality inconsistency.
So, let's move on to assessing personality based on handwriting elements.
General characteristics of handwriting
Even handwriting speaks of willpower, composure and calmness.
Emotionally unstable subjects or people who abuse alcohol have shaky handwriting.
Manic patients write in a sweeping manner, and the size of the letters increases as they write.
In mentally abnormal patients, written speech, like oral speech, is fragmentary and incoherent. They have special turnover, abundance diminutives, verbosity, absence or peculiar placement of punctuation marks.
Introverts have compact and neat handwriting, while extroverts write in large, sweeping letters.
It has been noticed that those who write letters sometimes rudely, sometimes beautifully, perhaps behave differently in life. 
Incline
About 20-30 degrees to the right. This is the most common slant of handwriting. Such a person can be described as openly expressing feelings. At the same time, he cannot be called an impulsive person. He still has the ability to control his emotions in tense situations. Such a person usually has well-developed needs for communication and loneliness usually weighs heavily on him.
About 50-60 degrees to the right. A strong tilt to the right indicates a loving nature and a strong desire for communication. Such a person is more likely to strive to put his feelings on display rather than suppress them inside himself. A person with such a handwriting is more receptive to new ideas and initiatives and has great vitality.
At the same time, such people have more developed possessive sentiments, they are more fond of flattery and admiration for their nature.
Slight tilt to the left. With a high degree of probability, it can be said about such a person that he is characterized by a predominance of control of the mind over emotions. This person is more secretive and tries to rationally evaluate his actions.
Significant tilt to the left. This type of handwriting is often typical for left-handed people. There is greater control over your emotions here. The secrecy characteristic of this person can be combined with great sensuality, which can only be revealed to the closest people. In stressful situations, such a person may, unexpectedly for those around him, explode in a storm of emotional manifestations.
If the handwriting is vertical, this means that the personality is characterized by a balance of rationality and emotionality. Such a person is characterized by analysis of the situation and balanced decision-making.
If, when analyzing handwriting, you find periodic or unsystematic changes in the inclination of handwriting, then this may indicate a person’s low psychological stability, or a sharp change in his mood. Probably inconstancy and pickiness about little things.
Sometimes a periodic change in the inclination of handwriting may indicate some indecisiveness of a given person.
Handwriting without slanted letters indicates that a person has fundamental considerations that are fundamentally different from the opinions of others.
Tilting the letters to the right speaks of diligence, and to the left - of negativism and a tendency to resist.
Letter push
In modern conditions, when a huge variety of writing media has appeared (fountain pens (ink, ballpoint, drip, gel), pencils, felt-tip pens, etc.), it can be difficult to diagnose the pressure of the analyzed letter. At the same time, if such an opportunity does exist, it should not be missed. What can the pressure of handwriting tell you?
Strong pressure with a high probability indicates energy, perseverance and good performance, the desire to always keep oneself busy with something, including physical activities.
He is a predominantly sociable person and loves work that involves human contact. He strives to satisfy the material side of his life. He tries to overcome failures, but does not “get hung up” on them.
Light, superficial pressure. A person with such a handwriting is a delicate and sensitive person.
This is more of an introvert (a person focused on the phenomena of the inner world). A critical mind and high self-control allow him to cope with tasks of great importance. However, this requires doubled energy and tension from him.
Medium pressure. This handwriting is the most common, and it is usually found in ambiverts (people who are focused on understanding the external world, but at the same time attach great importance to internal, personal values). They are easier to understand and more predictable.
Combination of pressure with other handwriting characteristics
Light pressure with even letters also indicates a logical mind and rational thinking, high development moral qualities, commitment and discipline of a person.
Light pressure and large rounded letters indicate a certain weakness of will of a person, his non-aggression, altruism and tendency to cooperate.
Strong pressure when writing capital letters or abbreviations in the text can indicate a person’s energy, creative or leadership abilities.
Horizontal position of lines
The line remains horizontal until the end of the page. This is a balanced person who does not get upset by minor troubles, be it at work or at home. He carefully considers his actions and controls the manifestations of his emotions.
The line goes up. This is considered to be evidence of optimism. In terms of career, such a person is purposeful. Adaptability is above average, both to the physical and social environment. When the line goes up significantly, this may indicate unjustified optimism and unrealistic claims.
The line goes down. A man of skepticism. Perhaps he is simply characterized by a realistic assessment of current events.
The line is uneven, going up and down. This is a person with a changeable mood, with low adaptability, who cannot fully cope with work that requires careful adherence to established rules and sustained attention.
Roundness of letters
The pronounced roundness of the letters may indicate that a person with this type of handwriting is inclined to cooperate. He is not inclined to be persistent in confirming his plans and positions. He is more open to understanding.
At the same time, such people cope worse with activities that require aggressive manifestations and persistence.
The angular letters of the text are signs that their author is predisposed to competition and rivalry. Such people are more active, independent, have a critical mind and ambitious aspirations.
Spacing between words and lines
Most often, the dense arrangement of words indicates a person’s thriftiness.
As the distance between words increases, the tendency to waste increases.
Amount of fields left
It is believed that the size of the margins in handwritten text is an additional indicator that allows one to determine the degree of wastefulness of a person.
Wide margins on all sides of the sheet indicate good taste and an instinctive craving for refined things.
If margins rationally surround the text, then this is evidence in favor of prudence.
Smooth, narrow fields on the left and right may indicate that a person is inclined to show frugality and reasonable prudence.
If the entire sheet is occupied by text, and there are no or almost no margins, then this is an indicator of a person’s desire to squeeze the maximum out of the available opportunities.
Graphologists see hidden meaning also in the topography of the text. For example, good performers clearly organize the text and very rarely hyphenate words. Such people are unlikely to show a creative approach to work, but they will never deviate from instructions and regulations.
Handwriting can reveal a person's weaknesses, such as addiction to alcohol and mental illness.
People with deviations from the norm tend to write with “jumping letters” of different sizes. Their handwriting is difficult to read and often full of curls.
Letter size
Small letters. Such letters indicate a person’s ability to concentrate in one direction in deeds, thoughts, and affections. This is a reserved, non-aggressive person.
If in small handwriting the capital letters are disproportionately large compared to the capital letters, this indicates the person’s personal pride and courage, that is, that the person has developed some character traits that are unlike his usual nature.
If in such handwriting the capital letters are too small (relative to the capital letters), then the person does not have sufficient courage, confidence, and we can often talk about excessive modesty, which turns into a disadvantage.
“Tight” small handwriting, difficult to read, indicates that this is a person who is extremely secretive and loves to spend time alone.
Large letters. Such a person is characterized by expansiveness and, in some cases, aggressiveness. Typically, such handwriting indicates an aversion to a subordinate role (both in personal and business life) and shows that a person likes to insist on his own. This person strives for sociability, so work that involves interpersonal contacts is suitable for him.
If the capital letters in large handwriting are graceful and unlike others, this means that the person is able to command and attract other people. Such people are prone to romance.
Medium size letters. Medium-sized letters are characteristic of many handwritings, so the average size of letters cannot serve as an independent indicator for a graphologist, and it must be compared with other characteristics.
Too large capital letters indicate leadership abilities of the individual.
Using printed letters instead of written ones
This means moving towards new perspectives. If a person changes his handwriting style and begins to write in block letters, he is in a state of transition from traditional to modern ideas.
Availability of loops
“Loops” are found in the letters “v”, “d”, “z”, “u”, “c”, “sch”.
The bottom hinges have been eliminated. Such a person has independent thinking, he prefers to look for a simple explanation for everything, does not tolerate falsehood, and values people for their achievements. Such a person shows ingenuity in a new business and knows how to adapt to a changed situation.
Bottom narrow loop. This is a sign of careful thinking, striving for spiritual goals. Sign of love for family hearth, the desire to stick to your narrow circle of relatives.
Bottom long wide loop. Aspirations aimed at satisfying material needs and emotions. A person loves to be noticed.
Disproportionately large bottom loop. Doesn't like to be tied to a task. The longer and wider the loop, the more sociable a person is, the more he strives for variety and pleasure.
Disproportionally small top and bottom loop. A person does not dare to take the path of independence; if necessary, he can limit himself to the bare minimum.
Gaps between letters
There are gaps between letters in almost every word. Such a person tends to rely on intuition; he has a well-developed “feeling”. This sign must be correlated with others.
The letters are connected without lifting the pen while writing words. A sign of a logical mind. Such a person does not take anything for granted and tries to avoid surprises.
Letter size throughout the letter
The word begins with capital letters, which turn into small letters. This reduction in letters occurs in people who occupy a position that requires special attention to maintaining tact and keeping secrets.
A word begins with small letters that turn into capital letters (or the end of the word turns into a straight or wavy line). This is what people write who can’t keep secrets.
“Open” (as if unfinished) letters “a”, “c”, “d”, “o”, “f”, “i”. The more open the letters, the more sociable the person. “Closed” letters indicate a person’s restraint.
Person's signature
Is a signature a mirror of a person’s soul or an illusion for others?
It is often said that a signature crystallizes all the strengths and weaknesses of human nature. Is it true?
Of course, to a large extent, the image that a person creates for others is expressed in his signature.
For analysis, it is better to use a signature on unlined paper.
Over the years of life, a person usually develops several signatures: one of them is his natural signature, which is used for private correspondence, the second is for endorsement of business papers.
In the case when a person uses only one type of signature, we can talk about the naturalness of his behavior.
The inclination in the signature, which differs from the inclination in the rest of the text, indicates the differences between the inner world of a person and his outer appearance.
A signature written backwards means that the intellect controls the emotions. If a person writes with a backward slant and a signature with a right slant, the person is characterized by prudence, his head completely rules his heart, but he is friendly and sensitive.
If in small handwriting with simple letters we have a signature with large letters, then the person is trying to portray the presence of a broad nature, which he actually does not possess.
If the letters in the signature are too elaborate, we can say that the person is trying to create a deceptive impression of himself as a proud person.
The presence of a dot behind a signature is a sign of stubbornness, sometimes of increased alertness. If the dot is bold, then it can be a sign of challenge. The challenge is also indicated by a heavy line under the signature.
The long straight line below the signature is also important in analysis. A line made with light pressure indicates a possessive, assertive character, and that aspirations are associated with ideal goals. Strong pressure tells us about the desire for material goals and recognition.
If you come across two vertical lines drawn on the line under the signature in the center of the dash, they may be a sign of good business sense.
A graceful line is an indicator of romanticism; such a person loves a refined life and is easily flattered.
The more angularity in the stroke, the more decisiveness, strength of character, and ambition of a person are manifested.
The dash, which is a continuation of the last letter, often speaks of a person’s perseverance, his ability to stand up for himself.
A “squeezed”, obscure signature indicates that the person is not a leader.
A signature that gradually rises up indicates that the person is an optimist and has an energetic character. For people who are insecure, it goes down. A horizontal signature is typical for balanced people.
Signatures that begin with the letter of the name are written by thoughtful and responsible people. Curls speak of a person’s lust for power and self-centeredness.
Dear Colleagues!
We sincerely hope that this material will help you in your work. And it will become a little easier for you to determine how proactive, neat, ambitious, efficient, organized, etc. a person is by evaluating the questionnaire he filled out by hand.
As we have repeatedly seen from our own experience, handwriting helps to reveal the real characteristics of a person, sometimes refuting the first impression when meeting someone.
One day, a representative man came to the agency and applied for the position of financial director. He behaved quite adequately. But here's the handwriting!..
During professional testing, the applicant suddenly “failed” and suggested that the recruiter sing a romance instead of answering questions.
Good luck to you!
Psychologists, sociologists, and accentologists have long come to the conclusion that handwriting and character of a person connected to each other.

Which hand is better for an ambidextrous person? find out right now.
Is it possible to determine character by handwriting?
Handwriting begins to form at an early age.
Character also develops and undergoes changes. Graphology has long entered our lives and is used not only in psychology, but also in criminology.
Handwriting connected with fine motor skills, peculiarities of nervous activity, brain function. Character is formed on the basis of temperament and external factors, therefore also associated with the brain and nervous system.
It is advisable to conduct the study in a calm environment. Ideally, the text is written on a white landscape sheet without the presence of cells, rulers, and by hand.
One or two words are not enough; at least four lines are needed. Be sure to pay attention to the signature, since it can be used to notice elements that are not in regular text.
Better to use pencil or fountain pen. If possible, then several texts written in different time periods are taken for analysis.
This can trace the dynamics of character development, detect the presence of stress factors, and sometimes determine presence of diseases.
Why are people increasingly using handwriting checks when hiring? Psychologist's opinion:
Graphology - concept and general information
Graphology- This is a technology of psychodiagnostics.
The analysis is based on the fact that handwriting is associated with fine motor skills, is formed by the brain, and is associated with subconscious processes and personality traits.
Graphology, as a science, is based on knowledge psychophysiology, psychopathology, psychology. Research and practical experience matter. However, some scientists are skeptical about such experiments and consider graphology a pseudoscience.
However, she has her own system, signs that researchers focus on. Even ancient philosophers noticed that one can tell a lot about a person by his handwriting - whether he is good or evil, whether he is capable of deception, how selfish he is, whether he can be trusted.
The learning process of a graphologist includes not only theory but also careful practice, which allows one to capture the smallest details of the analyzed object.
The specialist can tell you about the personality interesting details. Even a person himself does not always realize that he has certain character traits. The fact is that the features of writing are largely manifested under the influence of the subconscious.
Handwriting studies were also carried out in the ancient world, but the most famous first treatise belongs to a doctor Camillo Baldo.
The word "graphology" appeared in the 19th century in the book of the abbot Jean Hippolyte Michon.
He compared individual elements of letterforms and writing and associated them with certain character traits.
Lack of these elements meant opposite traits.
Many writers and others famous people recognized that character is reflected in the way of writing. Gradually, the ideas of graphology spread throughout Europe.
Now this science is studied in universities in many countries, in some of them there is such a profession.
Graphology is used in business, psychodiagnostics, psychology, criminology, even when hiring.

Handwriting can be sweeping, beautiful, slanted, small, illegible - it is difficult to find people who write the same way. By carefully studying the handwriting of a particular person, you can learn about his character, personal qualities, and even describe his appearance. Only at about age 20 does handwriting take on its final form. Then you can analyze the handwritten text. What should you pay attention to and how can you analyze a person’s handwriting as accurately as possible?
General information about handwriting
Graphology is a science that analyzes handwriting and correlates various characteristics with personal qualities. The work is carried out taking into account the inclination of letters, width, height, location of words, conciseness and other factors that indicate the personal character of a person. The combination of all qualities leads to the determination of an accurate portrait, an individual characteristic of a person.
The science of graphology is capable of providing an accurate and complete analysis of human qualities. In some cases, it is even possible to find out sexual preferences, a predisposition to drug addiction or suicide, a tendency towards personal growth or degradation, etc. This is why many psychologists use handwriting analysis in their practice. In addition, many companies are beginning to use the services of graphologists when hiring specialists. This is a kind of new version of a lie detector, only it also shows a person’s inclinations that may appear in the future. Don’t be afraid if they give you a blank piece of paper and falsify your handwriting, because you can do yourself a disservice by ruining your reference.
What is needed for handwriting analysis?
Graphological analysis is most often carried out in the presence of a specialist, but if you know some of the intricacies of science, you can do everything yourself. This will require pencil and regular blank sheet of A4 size. For analysis, a person needs write at least 4 sentences, and without excitement and speed. The larger the inscription, the easier it is to make out some criteria of handwriting and determine personal character. A pencil is needed to determine the pressure, since it is difficult to determine this indicator with a pen.
Sometimes, for the accuracy of the analysis, the examiner asks to provide a previously written text, but not every option is suitable. For example, postcards or statements are not suitable due to the effort the person puts into writing the text on them. In some documents, the handwriting does not match the personality due to haste or awkward position. Only text that was written in a calm state and in a comfortable position is suitable for analysis. That is why graphological studies are carried out with texts that were written by one person, but at different times.
What handwriting characteristics should you pay attention to?
Graphologists believe that to analyze handwriting it is necessary to have a few examples handwritten text. This is necessary in order to determine the exact handwriting. A person puts less effort into writing with each piece of paper. beautiful letters, which means his handwriting becomes natural. It is the last sheets of text that become the object for analysis and determination of personal qualities, but what characteristics should you pay attention to?
Before you begin to consider the main criteria for the inscription, you should pay attention to the piece of paper itself. Basic data is determined by its appearance.
The first criterion in handwriting by which personal character is determined is letter size. It can change with age. Usually letters become larger with age or change due to physical condition. That is, illness or fatigue can affect handwriting.
The letters increase with age due to fatigue or deterioration of vision, so you should not pay attention to this indicator. It is recommended to check handwriting in older people from 25 to 45 years, because during this period many qualities of writing are stable and do not depend on physical condition. Besides, you should not pay attention to the average size of letters. This is the most popular size when writing, so it does not carry any specific information.
Letters written in large font without emotional and physical tension, they speak about a person’s leadership qualities, his emotional stability, openness and ease of establishing relationships with people. Small font indicates that a person is able to sit in one place for a long time while doing work. In addition, they have a noticeable sense of purpose and restraint, but people who write in small letters do not take root in society and are reserved individuals.
Margins when writing text
When analyzing handwriting, you should pay attention to fields.
- If, when writing a text, a person maintains narrow margins, it means he is thrifty, but the denser the text is, pressed against the boundaries, the more this quality dominates in his life. As a result, words that practically rest against the borders of the sheet speak of greed and stinginess. Such a person is capable of exhibiting envy and vindictiveness.
- Wide margins indicate that the author is generous and likes to live without saving money. A person’s economy depends on the width of the margins. A lot of empty space indicates that he likes to grab, live on wide leg in luxury. Such qualities are not always valued in human society.
Pressure when writing text
The pressure to write on time determines not only the individual characteristics of a person, but also his emotional condition while writing the text. Emotions can be very different, but the brighter they are, the harder the person presses the pen or pencil.
- If the emotional background is stable, strong pressure The pen signifies the energy and hard work of a person. Such people find it difficult to establish relationships in society, lead a healthy lifestyle, and do not withdraw into themselves. In addition, strong pressure on the handle means a strong-willed, strong character and self-confidence.
- Light pressure pens are more often determined by a calm character, gentleness, loneliness and reluctance to make contact with a large number of people. Such natures easily build personal relationships, but society scares them. In some cases, light pressure determines a tendency toward romance.
In handwriting, the direction of the lines is special meaning, because by the quality of writing the text, it is easy to determine the main personal characteristics. Letter slant able not only to recognize a person’s qualities, but also to indicate his inclinations in the future.
Elements of writing, shape and slant of letters
For a more accurate picture of individuality, the linking elements and the shape of the letters should be determined. For example, if everything letters have a transition, then the person is distinguished by logical thinking, straightforwardness and is even capable of stubbornness. Separate writing of letters indicates that the author belongs to people with developed thinking and imagination. This type of writing is characteristic of a small number of people. Graphology states that balance is determined by continuous writing of 2–3 letters, after which a separation occurs and the letters are written together again.
By analyzing the shapes of letters, it is easy to understand what a person is like in terms of pliability and helping others. If the characters angular or sharp, then its author refers to egoists. These are people who live on their own and you can’t ask for help from them. Symbols with smooth features define a pliable person who will always come to the rescue, but they cannot refuse, which is not always a good quality.
A large number of personality traits can be easily recognized by analyzing the inclination of letters. Criticism is determined by slight tilt in left side
. Such natures place themselves above others and do not take into account the opinions of others. The stronger the inclination of the symbols to the left, the more stubbornness and tendency the author shows to defend his point of view. His side will always be the only true one.
Strong tilt to the right denotes a strong-willed character, strength in decision-making, a bit of zealous qualities and the ability to fall in love. A slight tilt of the text to the right is not used for analysis, because this is how they teach writing in school, which means it is more of a rule than a manifestation of personal qualities. Direct writing of letters indicates stubbornness, but without selfishness. This is where a balanced view and assessment of one’s capabilities manifests itself.
Determining character by handwriting
You can also determine not only the character of a person’s handwriting, but also the type of his temperament. To do this, several categories of handwriting determination should be used in combination.
- Choleric determined by the tilt of the text to the right. Symbols are uneven, wrapped, or even confused. The pen pressure is strong, and the distance between words is different.
- Phlegmatic determined by the thickness of the letters. If the letters are bold, but their thickness is constantly changing, then the author has a phlegmatic temperament.
- Sanguines write in beautiful handwriting. Distinctive qualities are running and sweeping letters. The lines are wavy.
- Melancholic people withstand uneven fields, symbols dance, both in tilt and in position on the line. The symbols are distinguished by elongation, strokes and dashes.
Determination of personal qualities
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 from 10-11 years of age. 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. As a rule, you choose for yourself an area in which the manifestation of intelligence is required. You are a sensitive person and do not have deep feelings. They are simply not familiar to you.
