Psychology of handwriting

Every person has its own handwriting. Although everyone of us can change their handwriting few times per writing, but the principles remain the same. People used to write by hand much more often many years ago and now they prefer writing by the new technologies. They barrely use handwriting, although we still can say many facts about the writer itself.




The handwriting depends on few features: slant, size, pressure, upper or lower case, word spacing, page margins and so on. But why is that important for handwriting? Why is it possible to bond person’s character and handwriting? Firstly, because our brains guide our hands – they are related. Furthermore, brains controls not only our motoric system, but emotional state as well, so if we contain everything we have the result – handwriting. That is why person’s handwriting is different, when he/she is happy or sad.

So firstly, if you want to analyse the handwriting, you have to picture the whole writing. Try to touch the writing. If you even can feel the letter, written on the paper, it means, that the writer was writing with a big pressure. These people usually are confident and have lots of emotional energy. Plus, they are very successful in life. People, with light pressure are not so confident and tries to avoid stressful situations. They can show empathy to other people.

Secondly, check the slant – it shows the response to external forces. If it is right slant, it means that a person is very communicative, they respond strongly to situations and a person mind is ruled by heart. If a slant is vertical, then a heart is rules by mind. Such person is independent and tries not to show his/her emotions to other people. Left slant people do not show any emotions at all and they can not stand being controlled by others.

Thirdly, the size of handwriting is also very important. If it is very large, then it shows extraversion, the person is outgoing, but usually only puts on act that he/she is very confident, although the truth is different. Very small size means contraversal person, although he/she likes to be dependent on somebody or maybe something.

People who write in upper case, mostly are ambitious, but those who write in down case are impatient.

The science about handwriting is called graphology. It is very interesting, but difficult as well. There are so many things you can tell about a person only from his/her writing! Although, usually people use more computer writing, not hand and it is more and more difficult to reveal the secrets and features about a person from the writing.
