Each person has a unique character and personality. And each person’s handwriting is also unique. Although a single teacher may teach hundreds or even thousands to write, each student inevitably develops his or her own handwriting style. Does a person’s personality influence the style that he or she eventually develops? Those who believe in the art of handwriting analysis, also known as graphonology, think it does. This belief is based on the fact that because your brain guides the muscles in your hand, aspects of your inner psyche can be transferred onto paper.

One of the first thing a graphologist notices is the amount of pressure used when writing. It is thought that a person’s emotional and physical energy is linked to the pressure of their handwriting, so heavy, dark handwriting indicates a highly emotional person, whereas handwriting with a lighter touch shows a person who prefers to avoid situations that require a lot of energy.

The slant of the writing is also important. Handwriting that slants to the right characterizes warm and caring people, whose hearts often control their heads. In contrast, people with vertical handwriting are in control of their emotions, while handwriting which slants to the left is typical of someone who is some indifferent and who could appear to be thick-skinned.

Graphologits also examine the size of the handwriting. Small handwriting indicates dedication and concentration, whereas larger handwriting reveals an individualistic personality that values being different. Analysing the handwriting of Einstein and Picasso clearly confirms that, though they were both geniuses in their fields, their personalities were like chalk and cheese. Einstein’s writing is very small, but every letter is carefully constructed, showing his meticulous attention to detail. Picasso, on the other hand, has a more chaotic style which shows not only his creativity, but also his extreme sense of independence. He was obviously someone who didn’t want to conform to the usual conventions of neat handwriting.

Some people believe graphonology can tell us …

• Similar handwriting

• What a person is like

• What a person is thinking

• How a person can influenced

• Learn to write in the same way
