Handwriting Analysis
(Graphology)
Do you know Handwriting
Analysis (also called Graphology)?
Your
answer may be ‘NO’!....................but
my answer (on your behalf) is ‘YES’!!
Make a small beginning by taking the following test.
Whom will you appoint as
your Personal Secretary?
(Sample Handwriting A)
(Sample Handwriting B)
If
your answer is ‘Sample Handwriting A’,
it is obvious that you know Handwriting Analysis!........Great!! Go on reading
and this article for you!!!
Your handwriting is not
your handwriting!
Your
handwriting is unique. In fact your
handwriting is not your handwritng!................Surprised?
……………..Because it is your ‘brainwriting’!! Whether you write with your hand, feet or mouth, it
is all the same, because it is the brain that writes. Thus when you write you leave your brain print on the paper.

Therefore
your handwriting can be a way to understand your personality. Your conscious mind determines WHAT you write and your subconscious
mind controls HOW you write and generally you have no control on your
subconscious mind! Your personality
characteristics can be analysed by size, pressure, speed, spacing, slant and
over seven hundred features of your handwriting.
History of Graphology:
Chinese
were the earliest to study handwrirting analysis. An Italian Physician called
Camillo Baldi (Circa 1600 AD) can be called the ‘father of Graphology’. During Circa 1800, Gemans took the lead in study
of the subject. In the recent past a systematic study of English handwriting is done by Erika Karohs, a British national.
How it is used?
Graphology
is extensively made use off in the following ways.
Personality Analysis: Graphology is a way to
understand yourselves and also personalities around you. This science is used by modern managements to
know about their executives/employees in order to make efficient and useful
‘work allocation’.
Child Monitoring: As responsible parents
you are all concerned with the wholesome development of ‘personality’ of your
children. Handwriting analysis can be the useful tool! In fact you will be surprised to know that
you can achieve better ‘personality development’ of your children by mending
their handwritings in the desired way.
Graphotherapy: By practising the desired
‘handwriting styles’, it is even possible to improve your/your children's ‘personality and
behaviour’ too! Thus handwriting analysis can also be an effective tool in improving your ‘personality’ also and this science is called
‘Graphotherapy’.
Criminal Investigation: Handwriting analysis can
be effectively used in identifying criminals and forgery cases.
Handwriting Analysis
Techniques:
Emotional Depth:
Read the following samples. It reveals about the ‘emotional depth’ of the
man’s writing!
Obviously
those who exert high pressure on paper while writing are highly ‘emotional’ and
those who exert low pressure on paper are less emotional by nature.
A
careful reading reveals that those who write with ‘right slant’ are friendly,
kind and generous and those who right with ‘left slant’ are not so friendly, kind
and generous. But there are people with
‘mixed up slants’ and often these people are in a ‘confused’ state of mind and
are likely to be indecisive.
Philosophical or Physical?
Observe
below the three ‘zones’ of writing and the baseline. It reveals a lot!
Those
who write with well formed upper zone parts as below are philosophical and
religious. Further they have good imagination and ideas.
Those
who write with well formed middle zone parts as below lead a happy daily life
and they try to live in the present.
Those
who write with well formed lower zone parts as below have good health and physical
abilities.
Observe the baseline of the sample below. This base line is
highly consistent and straight.
Such people are methodical and consistent.
Dominant Character:
Those who write with big font size obviously are commanding
and dominating.
Ambition &
Optimism:
Those who write with ascending base line as seen above are
generally ambitious and optimistic
whereas those who write with falling base
line as above are depressed and are low
in life goals.
Well balanced and
Sytematic:
Look at the sample above.
All round the paper you can observe even sized and fair margins. Obviously such people are well balanced and
systematic in life too.
Print Type of
writing:
Those with print type of writing as above are not friendly. They are not instantaneous in expression of
their feelings. They weigh carefully each and every step.
High ‘t-bar’:
Handwriting experts attach a lot of importance for letter
‘t’. Letter ‘t’ (small letter) has two parts. ‘t-bar’, the horizontal line and
the ‘t-stem’, the vertical line.
Look at the meaning of placing ‘t-bar’ high on ‘t-stem’ as explained in the pic.
Observe the widely open ‘t-stem’ and ‘d-stem’ towards the
lower portion. Such people are stubborn
and won’t give up easily.
Analytical thinking:
People who form sharp angles while writing letters as above
are said to be ‘analytical thinkers.’
Why this article?
The cases of handwriting discussed so far are only
illustrative but not exhaustive. This article is aimed at initiating you for
exploring more on handwriting analysis.
Now let us try to apply all our learnings on a ‘sample handwriting’. Whose sample handwriting to analyse? Let me present the handwriting sample of the greatest man of our times………..Mahatma Gandhiji!
Mahatma Gandhiji’s
Handwriting:
Gandhiji’s
Personality as revealed in his handwriting:
Dominance: As revealed by his big-font sized letters
High self-esteem & enthu : As revealed by his consistently long
and high t-bars.
Loner: Lower stem of letters like ‘y, g’ don’t end in loops.
Stubborn: Widely open ‘d and t’ stems towards the lower portion.
Analytical thinker: People who form sharp angles while writing
letters as above are said to be ‘analytical thinkers'.
Defiant: Dominant ‘k’ buckle
Argumentative: prominent ‘p’ loop
I am sure you will agree with me that Gandhiji’s personality
is very much revealed in his handwriting.
Narendra Modiji’s
Handwriting:
Observe the following in Modiji’s handwriting:
1.Well formed, consistently spaced words and lines: Methodical and
systematic
2.Small sized and consistent font size: High degree of concentration
in work
3.not much of linkages between letters and almost print type of
writing: Not instantaneous in expression of his feelings. He weighs carefully
each and every step.
4.’Y and g lower stems’
consistently don’t end in loops: loner
5.'Straight or left-slant in letters': Head is stronger than the heart! Difficult for others to approach him.
6.Mid-zone parts are well formed but upper and lower zones are not prominent: lives in the present.
5.'Straight or left-slant in letters': Head is stronger than the heart! Difficult for others to approach him.
6.Mid-zone parts are well formed but upper and lower zones are not prominent: lives in the present.
Tell me whether this technique works on Modiji too or not?
Signature Analysis:
We bankers are fascinated towards signatures of our
customers. Signature analysis is only a
shorter version of the Handwriting analysis…………….something like T-20 cricket and
Test Cricket. While signature reveals in
brief, handwriting reveals in detail!
Can I improve my personality by changing my handwriting? Whether Graphotherapy works?
Certainly yes on your younger children and also on you! But it depends on you and your efforts. Over a period of time it certainly yields results! Try the following.
1.Always maintain consistent space between letters, words and lines. Maintain uniform margin all around. You will start becoming methodical and systematic.
2.Watch the pressure you put on the paper while writing. Let this be neither heavy nor light. By this you will acquire better emotional stability.
3.Slant your letters towards the right. You will start becoming more friendly and popular.
4.Always keep your cross bar on letter 't' at the top and longer. Your aim in life will grow higher and your enthusiasm level too will improve.
5.If you are stubborn/adamant in nature, keep an eye on your 'd and t' lower loops. Keep them as narrow as possible. You may improve.
6.Let your font-size be consistent and smaller. Your concentration power may improve.

I hope that you are convinced now that the science of
Handwriting works! Of course it is said that ‘every rule has an
exception’. While handwriting analysis
results are generally true, there may be some exceptions too! Also many experts have opined that Handwriting Analysis is not a 'perfect science'. But tell me which Science in this universe is 'perfect' and always works?
Thank you for reading my article. I wish you pleasurable time analyzing the
various samples of hand writings of people around you, including yours!

ReplyDeleteWell compiled Sir. Never thought about handwritings from the above mentioned perspective.Looking forward to see many more such interesting posts.
ReplyDeletePlease try analyzing people around you and I assure it would be interesting.
DeleteAmazed sir..never thought of handwriting this way..looking forward to more such posts...Thanks sir.
ReplyDeleteThnank you for your readings. Start analyzing your friends' handwriting samples. It will be a great experience.
DeleteHad heard and read a few articles on this topic. Your blog gave me some more inputs. Thank you for sending out the invite to read this.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Please send me your personal e mail id.

ReplyDeleteIt's awesome !!! got to know many thing about my own personality. Thank you very much sir for this article.
ReplyDeleteSubhash here - Nice article. One thing you can include is what are these hypothesis based upon - is it based on some empirical evidence or some other logic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response.
DeleteI have read some literature on the subject. I am yet to see a sound supporting scientific theory. Probably it is developed more by observations of a huge number of samples and as such this can be called an empirical study.
But in my experience I can say it works to a good extent. You can try it on yourself and you will be surprised to know how true it is!
Also you will appreciate that no theory/science is perfect and they may not work always.
Article is quite good sir.
ReplyDeleteReading people and their personality is in itself quite facinating.
Can improving handwriting realy change your perosonality ??
Thank you for your keen interest in reading the article.
DeleteThe question you have raised..........I have tried to answer in my article towards the end.
For example....if you consciously keep putting the cross bar to letter 't' always at the top and keep it longer, it is expected that your goals in life will go high along with your enthusiasm level. Scientifically also it seems true as you will be reminded about these issues as and when you write the letter 't'.
All the best young man.....
Thank your sir for the clarification.
DeleteSurely I am now going to focus in a couple of things stated in the article.
Keep enlighting us for our future endevours.
Hand writing is the reflection of your own personality... Thank you for sharing this wonderful article sir...
ReplyDeleteLN ... you have chosen to write on a very fascinating subject .. !!
ReplyDeleteI've observed that during any given day, my handwriting changes based on my posture, how am seated, the pen, paper am writing on and the mood. I am sure Handwriting analysts factor this into their analysis - OR do they ?
What about the natural change in writing that occurs as we age .. could this be an indication that our personalities are changing (mellowing, maturing, evolving, de-evolving etc.,) ??
even my signature has changed drastically over the decades !!
