Unlocking the inner workings of our identities via handwriting analysis only requires two items: a writing utensil and an unlined piece of paper. If you've got old letters or notes with at least a couple paragraphs' worth of text, the bulk of the work's already done. If not, just find something and write as naturally as possible. Remember, trying to have the best penmanship possible doesn't win you any points with handwriting analysis also known as graphology; it will only give insight into the kind of person you'd be if you had different handwriting.
Studying handwriting involves looking at both small details, like the space between letters, and bigger ones, such as the amount of pressure used when writing. Each characteristic implies something different about the writer's personality.
Spacing
Space can operate in a variety of ways when it comes to handwriting. There are three main things to consider: space between letters, space between words and space between lines. Hence, using an unlined piece of paper is essentialâ€"just how much space we put between sentences can provide insight.
The amount of space between letters indicates the extent to which the writer relies upon cooperation with others or on his/her own intuition. Closely spaced letters indicate repressed, scared and resentful traits.
The amount of spacing between words shows the degree of contact the writer establishes with his/her immediate environment. Having very little space in between words, suggests that the writer craves social contact. A large gap indicates that the writer has trouble relating to others and might prefer being solo. Those with an average amount of space fall somewhere in the middle.
Spacing between Sentences in Paragraphs: Large spaces are associated with sharp perception and meticulousness. Average spaces represent a balance between the two. Almost no spacing indicates that thoughts might be a bit jumbled and confused.
Line Levels
Another reason to use unlined paper is to analyze the direction the lines travel naturally, such as if they ascend across the page or remain steadily straight. Supposedly, the baseline reveals emotional health.
Straight: This suggests reliability, even temper, control of emotions and unwavering resolution.
Ascending/Descending: If the baseline slopes upward when written from left to right, it suggests that the writer has a positive outlook and is generally enthusiastic and determined. If it slopes downward, that suggests depression, lethargy, or a tendency toward moodiness.
Very Wavy: When lines look like the outline of a roller coaster, it might mean that the writer feels emotionally unstable. However, having a slight wave for a baseline is common and generally indicates a balanced emotional outlook.
Slant of writing
The slant of writing indicates one's emotional reaction to situations.
Left Slant (\\\): If the writing slants toward the left, it's possible that the writer has trouble expressing and come off as indifferent and distant to those around him/her.
Vertical (|||): A lack of slant in writing suggests that the writer is guided by logic more than emotions.
Right Slant (///): Forward slant indicates that the writer follow their hearts and are usually more empathetic and caring than most.
Size of writing
The size of writing represents concentration skills.
Small: This type of writing belongs to someone with a high concentration level and a superior attention to detail. These writers operate best when given one task at a time and the ability to tackle it alone.
Average: Those who use average-sized characters can concentrate just enough to be effective, but not so much that they get caught up in the minute details.
Large: Bigger handwriting could point to a fast-moving mind that has trouble focusing on one thing for too long, preferring a variety of responsibilities and tasks.
Now it is clear that handwriting analysis personality go hand in hand.
