Graphology, also known as graphoanalysis, is the analysis of handwriting to determine personality traits. It began in the 19th century and while still used today, it is considered pseudoscience by many. Some experts believe handwriting can provide legitimate evidence about a person, while others see it as subjective. New technologies have attempted to apply more scientific analysis to handwriting, moving it from a "junk science" to a science.

3. Graphology, also known as
graphoanalysis, is a process that
is used by some to attempt to determine
personality traits and details about a
person based on their handwriting. It
began in 1871 by
Jean-HippolyteMIchon,
and it is still popular in Europe,
especially France
What is Graphology
used for ?

4. Based on what is explained
above, graphology isn't
100% accurate.
Professionals experience
with graphology has
turned out to be over 90%
accurate. There remains a
possibility that a malicious person may
just
learn a few of the handwriting traits and
start writing in not his-natural way to
fool

5. It is generally considered
a pseudoscience. While
some experts believe that
handwriting analyses are
legitimate evidence, many
more call it “junk science,” and subjective. However, new
technology such as FISH (Forensic Information System for
Handwriting) has, in prosecutors' opinions, elevating
handwriting analysis from a junk science to actual science.

6. The answer is yes. Computer tests
prove
handwriting analysis is legitimate
and no
one is more surprised than the
computer
scientist who produced the first
scientific
evidence that handwriting is

7. Let’s
have
a look
into some
basics of
Handwriting
analysis

8. Big, outgoing personalities
tend to write in large
letters; shy introvert types
prefer to write small.
Average sized writing
demonstrates a strong
ability to focus and
concentrate. These are
hidden strengths of being
an introvert.

9. People who leave large
space between their words
enjoy freedom and
independence, while those
who squeeze their words
together tend to like the
company of others. If words
are totally jammed together
they might be intrusive or
have the tendency to
crowd people.

10. While a very heavy pen
pressure can suggest
tension and anger; a
moderately heavy
pressure is a sign of
commitment.
A soft pressure means
you’re empathetic and
sensitive; you might
also lack vitality. These
are other signs of
having empathy.

11. If you dot your I’s high
on the page you likely
have an active
imagination. A closely
doted ‘i’ is the mark of
an organized and detail-
oriented mind. If you dot
your I’s to the left, you
might be a
procrastinator. If you dot
your I’s with a circle, you
likely have playful and
childlike qualities.

12. A legible signature
is a sign of
confidence and
comfort in one’s
own skin, while an
illegible signature is
the mark of a private
or hard to read
person. So sign
accordingly.

13. A right slant means you like to meet and work with
new people, while a left slant means you prefer to
keep to yourself. People with left slant also tend to
be reserve and introspective.

14. If you cap off your T’s with a long
cross, you are likely determined
and enthusiastic, possibly with
stubborn tendencies. If you use a
short cross, however, it could be
because you are lazy. If you
cross your lowercase T’s up
high, you likely have many goals
and aim high. If you cross them
low, it could mean it’s time to
raise the bar for yourself; low
crossers tend to aim low as well.

15. A widely looped L suggests you are relaxed
and spontaneous, while a narrow or
retracted L means you might be restricting
yourself.

16. The hook on your lowercase y is a huge indicator of your
personality. A broad loop means you have a large circle of
friends, while a slender loop means you are more selective
with whom you allow close to you. A short hook means you
are a homebody, while a long hook could be a signal of
wanderlust.

17. Pointed letters
are a sign of an
intelligent
person who
might be holding
back
aggression.
Rounded letters
signal creativity
and artistic
ability. These are
science-backed
ways to boost
creative writing.

18. If you write
quickly, it’s
highly likely
that you are
impatient
and dislike
wasting time.
If you take
your time
getting
words down,
you are self
reliant and
methodical.

19. If you write
the letter
I
(as a
pronoun)
much larger
than any
other capital
letter, you
might be
arrogant

20. If the slant or any other feature of your
handwriting changes dramatically over the course
of a piece of writing, there is a good chance you
are lying.
Caught Ya!

21. Handwriting
as an
indicator
of your
character

29. Analysis errors have occurred in history
when the standard documents that
experts used in their comparisons turned
out to be forgeries as well. Another
limitation is the effects of mood , age,
drugs fatigue, and illness on a person’s
handwriting.
