Handwriting Analysis= Graphology • The foundation for graphology is that a graphic structure defines a particular personality behavior or trait. • Document experts continually testify that no two individuals write exactly the same. • Many individuals can have very similar handwritings styles but not factors are the same.

It shows that the person is straightforward, down-to-earth and without any pretensions.Illegible Signature: If the normal handwriting is clear and the signature is consciously illegible, the person may be apprehensive and want to camouflage his true personality and feelings.
Signature Small Signature: When the signature is kept short, though the name may be lengthy, the writer is reserved and humble, but will come straight to the point. When the signature is distinctly smaller than the normal handwriting, it shows the person may not realize his worth and may be humble and timid, or could be suffering from anxiety, depression or other emotional problems.Large Signature: When the signature is very large, though the name may be small, the writer is egoistic and ambitious and loves to socialize. When the signature is distinctly larger than the normal handwriting, it shows the person has willpower and confidence. If it is very much larger, the person could be a show-off and not someone very reliable.
Signature Expanded Signature: The person whose signature goes across the page seeks to attract attention at any cost. If the normal handwriting is also very large, the tendency is more pronounced.Dissected Signature: In this case the signature will have a stroke on it, either horizontal, vertical, partial or complete. It shows that the person wants to cancel out his own being. The writer may be dissatisfied with society, depressed or in extreme cases even suicidal.Encircled Signature: The circle around a signature, partial or complete, has two meanings. The writer may be protective about his near and dear ones or may be fearful of the environment.

Your handwriting • Your brain guides your hand. • Everything put on paper is a result of a two-way circuit between your brain and the motor reflex muscles of your hand. • Your handwriting becomes a Polygraph to your mind • To you, it's just handwriting, but to a handwriting analyst, it paints a picture of the person "behind the pen."
Things that differ: • Angularity of letters • Slope • Speed • Pressure • Letter and word spacing • Relative dimensions of letters • Connections of letter (or lack there of) • Pen movement • Writing skills • Finger dexterity (skill, agility, cleverness)
The four primary expressive elements are the baseline, the enclosure, the imposed structure, and the stroke. • 1. The Baseline • The baselineis the imaginary line that letters rest on dividing upper and lower areas while moving forward to the right. • The writing slant is defined as an angle formed by the baseline and a line segment generated from an upstroke above the baseline
All together • Emotional and physical energy (pressure applied when writing) • Slant of writing ...\\\.....lll.../// (indicates what the writer does with this emotional and physical energy) • Emotional control and emotional reliability (baseline) • Ability to concentrate (size of writing)
////SLANT\\\\ The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writers emotional response to external forces. A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. They are caring, warm and outgoing-- their heart rules their mind. Show feelings easily. A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep their emotions in check-- mind rules their heart. A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal their emotions (shy) and is observed as cold and indifferent.
The SLANT of the writing indicates the Emotional Response. Letter slant can best be seen in letters containing upper loops: the b, d, h, 1, k, and t. The more the letter slant leans toward the right, the more emotional response can be expected. • Garrulous= annoyingly talkative
2. ENCLOSURE • An enclosure is formed when a line or lines border an area. • An enclosure represents imagination, concept enlargement, and idea expansion. • There are three basic forms of enclosures- the loop, the circle, and the stem.
3. Imposed written structures • The imposed written structures control conventional order. • The stem is an imposed structure or taught pattern and represents relative learned standards for behavior. • A stem is formed by an enclosure that is taught to be restrictive. • Learned retraced closed loops of the letters t, d, p, and i are stems.
4. The Stroke • The stroke depicts life force, energy flow. • The stroke's pressure represents intellectual vitality, physiological energy, sexual passion, and emotional intensity. • Pressure is defined by how much force you apply to the writing surface with the writing instrument and not the hand grip pressure. • Pressure is how hard you press down on the paper. • Pressure indicates the capacity for vigorous activities
Under Pressure • Emotional energy is a combination of the physical and mental energy level. • Writers with heavy pressure are usually highly successful. • They have a lot of vitality and their emotional experiences last for a long time. • Writers who write with average pressure are usually moderately successful and usually have enough energy to make it through the day. • Those with light pressure try to avoid energy draining situations.
