Listed here are two examples of the way it works:
Consider the letter A. This letter has two elements that we are involved about. It is a capital, and it is fairly thin. The capital letter reflects the ego of the writer, and because he "thins himself out," we say that he is shy. The identical interpretation could be true of, say, a capital H: This skinny capital additionally implies that the author is shy.
Image the lowercase a, the underside is open and the letter is oval-shaped. Due to this fact, the rule that applies right here applies to any oval-shaped letter with an open backside-perhaps the letter
The letters a and are both center-zone letters, but upper zone and lower zone letters additionally belong to this category, offering that they have spherical elements in the center zone; for example, the letter d.
Once you understand the rules, it ought to be simple to interpret all of the potential variations in letter shapes.
What the graphologist is absolutely looking for in analyzing handwriting are the writer's persona traits. A personality trait is usually composed of many alternative factors. For instance, if the writing indicated a lack of self-management, ardour, impulsiveness, and violence, the graphologist would sum up the personality trait as mood. Should self-management, ardour, and violence be present, with out impulsiveness, temper would nonetheless be indicated, but when violence were the lacking factor, the graphologist would hesitate to say flat out that the author has a foul temper. He would possibly admit, nevertheless, that the potential of mood exists.
An identical situation exists in interpreting letters. Before the graphologist weighs the form of a letter into a total analysis, he appears for consistency. In other phrases, he should discover the same kind typically sufficient within the writing to be vital before he includes its that means in the complete analysis. Right here is the same old rule of thumb: If all the key components are current, we say that the character trait most definitely exists. If all the main elements however one are discovered, there is a sturdy risk that the personality trait exists. If just one major element is discovered, the writer tends towards this trait.
Small minimal letters (i.e., middle zone letters) present the concentrating, frugal, and masculine employee. Small and thoroughly executed minimum letters have been seen within the handwriting of first-fee analysis staff, lecturers, scientists, and thinkers, who preserve themselves beneath the strictest self-management in order to have the ability to accomplish what they undertake (Nietzsche, Einstein). Nevertheless, it must be noted that inferiority feelings and momentary depressions additionally express themselves in small minimum letters.
A letter could not only be tall or small or deep, but in addition large or narrow; it might widen itself in a left tending or proper tending course, or shrink from these instructions; it additionally may widen itself to a reasonable extent or on the expense of its neighbors.
To evaluate, for example, the width of a letter in a person handwriting, we should know the penmanship models on which this handwriting is based. In Palmer's fashions such letters as e, i, , a, and s are imagined to be taller than they are wide, the m, n, and w wider than they're tall. Only deviations from these norms will be thought-about "huge" or "too broad," "slender" or "too slender."
The extensive letter, the letter that takes up greater than its "allotted" space because it moves to the appropriate, is typical of the spontaneous, broadminded, and "giant" author, who's sociable and sympathetic, desirous to share with you and keen to allow you to share with him; he's "extroverted." But when the letter is "too broad," if it appears to spread and unfold, because it were, at our expense, the author is obtrusive, impudent, or simply an intruder.
The slim letter, the letter that has surrendered a part of its "allotted" house, is characteristic of the inhibited, uneasy, slim-minded, economical author, who is not sociable, who is prepared to share with you nor desirous of getting you share with him; he's "introverted." But when a letter is "too narrow," then our subject is timid, seclusive, suspicious, and avaricious. A narrow initial letter of a phrase betrays significantly the socially timid.
We often see narrow letters extensively spaced, or broad letters closely following each other. Obviously, this can be a coincidence of two contradictory tendencies: narrow letters extensively spaced reveal one whose sympathy and generosity are either simulated or forced upon him by circumstances. Extensive letters narrowly spaced betoken the liberal and sympathetic one that simulates the economical and concentrated employee either voluntarily or because of circumstances.
The letters between the first and the last letter, the body of the phrase, so to speak, painting the process of considering that leads the author from an intention to an accomplishment, a call, an act. A clear, well-proportioned last letter indicates a clear and trustworthy determination; an illegible, neglected, or omitted final letter is a warning. A disproportionately tall final letter is characteristic of the one that not only has an opinion, however insists on it-as a result of he has character, or as a result of he is arrogant, opinionated.
Every check in an analysis has which means, however is dependable only as one side of the overall evaluation. So although the following letters are strong indicators by themselves, they can't be regarded as proof of any fact concerning the writer until they're properly weighed.
There are many alternative ways of forming the letters of the alphabet:
A
Image the letter a (or any letter for that matter) with two hooks. A hook by nature grabs, hence it exhibits greed. The double hook implies avarice.
Think about the left leg extended far to the left (previous). The fact that there is also a blotch hints of a "blotch" in the author's previous, which could be very a lot on his thoughts.
Take into account the letter that is known as a block letter. Its construction is simplified, displaying intelligence and tradition. Most books use block letters, and this may be an unconscious imitation.
The markings on prime of the letter are inexact and pointless. This exhibits inexactness on the a part of the author, however the fact that he did write the letter in such a way shows him to be an unusual character.
Picture the letter that reveals a big loop with a knot. Loops made larger than essential to learn the letter show satisfaction. This specific type has been discovered amongst writers who take pride in their families.
Think about a knot within the letter. This reveals toughness, hardness-someone who's apt to be thorough in what he undertakes and won't surrender simply.
Think about that the place to begin of the letter is thick and near the physique, not extended to the left. The thick writing shows a materialistic nature.
Capital letters, amongst different issues, show an image of ego. Thus, the thin, slim capital letter indicates shyness.
Picture the left leg significantly longer than the appropriate one, as if the man had been running. It reveals aggression and ambition.
A spherical block letter depicts a form of development of some kind and subsequently exhibits a constructive thinker.
The letter could also be constructed in a square vogue, showing an interest in architecture or in mechanically related fields. The form itself seems like a constructing brick.
Think about the left leg longer than the fitting, because the letter we spoke of above, however it descends deeper. This is the meddler. Because of the position he gets himself into, the writer will develop into argumentative when the individual he's annoying flares up at him.
Take into account the capital A within the type of a small a. Because the capital letter shows the ego of the author, a small letter indicates humility and modesty.
When the bar of the A is lacking, it exhibits carelessness and neglect. There are times when the A bar could also be omitted and not have these meanings-when the author is in a rush, for example-but when the writer at all times varieties his A's like this, it implies slovenliness.
Picture the arc that factors back to the capital letter (the ego) and subsequently reveals egotism.
Think about the left leg stretching out to the left, exhibiting a strong attachment to the previous. Often these writers have a troublesome time getting started on projects or even on a regular basis issues.
Consider (a) crossings which can be each inexact and their lack of completion kinds what graphologists name open-mouthed ovals, which reveals talkativeness. The more open the ovals are, the extra talkative the author is. When these letters are a regular feature of somebody's writing, he will be stated to be both open and honest. Nonetheless, if there were no oval letters closed, it would be best not to tell the author any secrets and techniques-he could have difficulty keeping them.
After all, all these writers represent only different levels of open-mindedness and openness; there are those that thirst for data, and people who are merely curious; these whom we call frank, and those that are tactless; however none of them can be referred to as selfish. Just a few overdo the openness, too. To entrust such a author with a delicate secret could also be disastrous, for he in all probability will not be in a position even to cover his own; and since the opening exposes the decrease zone, this will suggest a quality of indelicacy, probably the exhibitionism of a libertine.
Image the letter exhibiting an angular kind. This indicates rigidity and hardness.
Think about the low 'A' bar. Like the low t bar, it shows an inferiority complex. Because the capital letter reflects the ego, this low bar hints at diminished shallowness.
Contemplate the letter that shows a peculiar form. At any time when unusual looking shapes appear, we see sexual perversion and a robust sexual imagination. (However, these letters should be in contrast with the rest of the writing.) If this distortion is what he thinks the letter must be, imagine what he thinks a sexual relationship ought to be.
Picture the letter resembling an A bar, which in actuality is an in-turned arc, piercing the capital (the ego). The writer is destroying his ego, displaying strong depression and suicidal tendencies.
An identical which means is indicated when the A bar strongly descends -its very route implies that the author is down in the dumps.
The letter, which is encircled a number of occasions, displays the feeling of residing in one's personal world of imagination. The writer is trying to protect himself by not permitting anybody else in. If anybody ever does penetrate, he won't find it simple to change the writer's concepts.
Loops by nature are showy; due to this fact, such a author discloses vanity. (Note: Do not confuse loops with knots, which present a special meaning).
The upward rounded stroke reveals the performer, the entertainer. You possibly can virtually see him bowing to the viewers as he makes this flamboyant upward stroke.
Imagine the letter, which is ink-stuffed, pasty, and blotchy. It shows sensuality, as if the writer's guts were pouring out on the page from the fervour inside him.
Think about the oval letter open at the backside. (Earlier than you'll be able to analyze this letter, you will need to make sure that it was not the writing instrument that erred. Pens do typically "gap.") This reveals the embezzler, the criminal, the hypocrite. The fact that there's something lacking in its construction implies the same lack in the author's makeup. What is missing is honesty, as though there were a hole inside him, the place every little thing first rate fell via.
Picture the left side of the oval open. This writer cleverly conceals this aspect of his nature (the opening is tiny), however his motive is strictly for himself, and he is grasping. Obviously, he's also untrustworthy. Often people who write like this are discovered to be neurotic.
Think about the person who writes as if he have been bending away from one thing that will harm him; this reveals himself as touchy and delicate. The inward, bent proper stroke reveals him defending himself.
Consider the letter that is knotted (not to be confused with a loop). The knot shows that, though the letter was already closed, the writer added the knot, just to make sure. It reveals secretiveness, reserved manner, introversion, and one who not often allows folks to get to know him. When coupled with other indicators in the writing, this type often appears in the writing of dishonest folks.
Letters could also be written fairly square-formed. Individuals who write on this style present an aptitude for building and mechanical means.
B
Picture the underside arc of the letter 'B' inflated. Inflation shows vainness. As well as, the underlength extends previous the body of the letter itself out to the left. This author puts himself on a pedestal and thereby calls attention to himself, underlining his personal importance. His ego is represented by the capital letter and the pedestal by the prolonged underlength. Because the bottom arc is inflated, equivalent to the lower zone, this additionally exhibits materialism.
Imagine the stroke that extends upward. It reveals one, who's keen to undertake a new project of some type, although it may be risky. The upstroke seems to be pointing to the heavens, to outer space.
The constant modifications in a letter indicate a hypochondriac. He always feels that there is something fallacious with him. Whatever he does is not ok, and he returns and changes the letter repeatedly.
Contemplate the difficult, overdone, ugly letter; this reveals vulgarity-one who is loud, akin to the gaudy letter he produces. He'll typically be pedantic about trivial details.
Image the letter that has a pointy high. When a selected part of a letter needs to be spherical and as an alternative is pointed, as if it have been a knife, we see resentment.
When the pointed (or angular) shape is at the bottom of a letter that might ordinarily be spherical, it indicates resentment. In addition, here is a piercing, sharp persona, bent on getting his own means. The angular form reveals hardness and rigidity, particularly when it dips into the decrease (bodily) zone for some power.
When there is a mixture of these writings, sharp on the high in addition to at the bottom, it thus exhibits the same traits. There isn't any manner out, since each side are angular also; therefore, we see an individual who won't compromise.
Imagine the round starting stroke. This reveals talkativeness in the writer, plus a sense of humor. This additional starting stroke was not necessary, nevertheless it was as if the author had to tell one thing to anyone-pull somebody over to whisper in his ear.
When the end stroke ascends to the higher zone, it shows creativeness and excessive-mindedness. Many poets write this hand.
The hooked letter, which can be angular, exhibits stubbornness. As we know, hooks hold on to something: they do not need to let go.
C
Think about the script of the following ©: the beginning stroke is in, then, down, round, and over. This persona seems to be at all times computing one thing. The author may be in hassle, but he persists and will get out of it. The shape itself looks like a side view of the human mind.
Image the angularly shaped letter ©; this reveals what an angular shape represents; pace. The author is quick and usually extra clever than the spherical (arcade) author, so we see intelligence.
D
Imagine the letter written in two components. We see the individual standing alone. Since this letter (D) is normally fabricated from connected traces, this system of writing reveals a deficiency in adjusting to what others may do.
The easy letter (d) with an arc on the proper exhibits style. The writer has a flair for the finer issues of life. Try scripting this letter. You'll feel the grace of it.
The letter, which is written in the form of a musical notice, reveals musical curiosity.
Think about the upper length, which extends fairly excessive into the upper zone; this shows an ethical persona; this is a one who respects religious ideals.
When the letter is looped, it shows self-importance and sensitivity, as if the loops were an added shield of safety from getting harm.
There are letters, that are called the Greek d, e, and g; because they resemble the way in which those letters are fashioned in the Greek alphabet. When two or all three of them appear repeatedly in someone's handwriting, it is a signal of tradition, of a literary-oriented individual. Such letters are normally found among intellectuals and people with high IQs, and their presence signifies velocity and good taste. If solely one in all these signs seems-and particularly if it is comparatively infrequent-, we see somebody who's attempting to look cultured, however is not fairly.
When the top of the letter is written downward, demonstrating the author's feelings, it exhibits pessimism and depression.
Each time two other ways of writing the same letter seems, it indicates versatility. (Within the capital I, it hints at somebody who just isn't quite certain who he is, so he tries out completely different personalities.)
When the loop is harmoniously swung round, we see one in all two issues: in a superior script, logic in choice-making; in an inferior script, an try to make use of logic that the writer does not possess. A superior script is one that often contains unique letterforms, simplicity, words and features clearly separated and often speedy writing. An inferior script is one that often comprises lack of originality, a robust adherence to copybook customary, ostentation, and usually a slow hand, with words and lines, which entangle.
When there is a good 'swing' in writing the letter, it reflects the mind's ability to move in whatever route is necessary.
When the letters are connected, it reveals the power of deduction. This author makes use of logic, building fact upon truth, simply as he locations letter upon letter.
Picture capital letters, that are excessively massive. Because the capital letter represents the ego, they present pleasure, vanity, conceit, and jealousy.
E
Think about the letter (e) written with a loop and itself in the form of a garland.Garlands indicate friendliness. The spherical, easy way it's written reveals casualness, lightheartedness, even carelessness.
When the top stroke comes up, over, and down the left side, it shows somebody who distorts details. Picture the beginning of the end stroke (on the right facet of the letter) as the writer's right ear. By the point the stroke has traveled around to where it ends (by the left ear), the story has changed. The true story went in one ear and out the other.
Think about the letter as two concave arcs. This capital E looks like two eyes watching something and it denotes the keen observer.
When the start stroke touches the highest a part of the letter, like a weight of some sort pressing down on it, it exhibits the writer's difficulty in handling his concerns.
Image an underlength that may underline the remainder of the phrase. The fashion during which the author extends this capital (the ego) reveals self-admiration.
F
Imagine wavy lines (within the capital F), as we discovered from the t bar, wavy strains indicate gaiety, a sense of fun, typically the sensible joker.
When the highest stroke extends over the whole phrase, it shows a sense of protection. This is a masculine quality, but it's found in many women, especially these citing kids alone.
Simplified strokes present the writer's urge to hurry and a lack of decoration in his personal life-fashion.
When the letter contains a knot, it reveals toughness
Take into account the 'f' written as a triangular form with the tip stroke horizontal. Angles, as we all know, present hardness, and there are three of them right here, all within the lower zone. This hints at a robust resistance to interference absolutely any interference whatsoever. It is most likely attributable to sexual frustration.
For the letter g, please see Article 6
H
Image the downstroke (of the 'h') extending underneath the physique of the letter and to the left. This person, due to his stubborn nature, would fairly combat than compromise. The stubbornness is demonstrated by the lengthy downstroke, as if he have been clouting somebody. The fact that he would favor to combat for his place is proven by the leftward tendency. Not only does he not finish the letter with a rightward ending stroke (which is regular and exhibits an excellent relationship to the other individual), however he goes the alternative method, leftward. This declares defiantly that he's withdrawing his social attentions from the other person.
Observe: If a person's handwriting tends toward a particular course in a single explicit zone, it indicates a strong which means. This very writing is such an example. This letter reveals a vertical writing normally, but a decrease zone with a distinct tendency towards the left-reclined writing. This exhibits that, though the author maintains a kind of secure posture in his mental and everyday life, in matters of intercourse or money or materialistic pleasures, he results a certain withdrawal.
Think about a vulgar-wanting and ornate letter ('H') that has a vertical line added in unnecessarily between the left and right elements. Obviously this author
shows an undue claim of self-importance. Adolf Hitler wrote this manner. (Many graphologists consider that the vertical line accentuated his mustache.)
Consider the upper zone that hardly exists in any respect. Hence, this author doesn't consider in spiritual beliefs.
When the upper zone is giant-say three to four instances the size of the middle zone, we see an idealistic, spiritual, and often religious individual.
Image no finish stroke to the letter. Because the finish stroke represents the relationship to 1's fellowman, we see meanness here.
For the letter 'i', please see Article 5
J
Imagine that the (J) loop is super and extends to the left. This writing is found among many male homosexuals. The loop is much like the underlength of the g and suggests masculinity. The truth that it veers to the left, although the letter itself inclines to the proper, exhibits what reclined writing would show-an opposite role. If the writer is male, we see him taking part in the female function. The rightward tendency of the opposite two zones shows him to be fairly extroverted; the leftward lower zone hints that he is introverted sexually.
Be aware: It is vitally tough for a graphologist to say definitely whether or not a person is a gay. What he can detect is that the person thinks of himself as sexually unusual. Distortions in the lower zone or surprisingly shaped letters show a intercourse life that is of an unusual type, however not essentially homosexuality. Keep in mind that that is what the author himself feels. The homosexual who doesn't consider homosexuality strange won't mirror this in his writings. For the reason that left represents the past (the mom), apparently within the author's youth, he turned confused in regards to the correct function he was to play in life. He rejected the daddy role and preferred the mother determine, which apparently evidenced extra heat. As an grownup, the previous youngster now seeks this identical nonviolent warmth.
Ok
Think about the letter ('Okay') break up into different elements. It shows someone who lacks adjustment and could be in comparison with disconnected writing. It is as though, via the areas the place he did not write, instinct of some kind seeped in. The author is normally quite intelligent and has many ideas, though he doesn't do issues as most other individuals do (indicated by the bizarre splitting of the letter).
Picture the tip stroke (of the 'k') as a down stroke, made with considerable stress and prolonged fairly deeply into the lower zone. This shows somebody on the defensive; he retains his "hand" at his side instead of reaching out with it. He dips into the decrease zone for power and stresses it. This hints at brutality and stubbornness.
L
Imagine the horizontal stroke (of the 'L') darkened (technically known as shading). This unbalanced distribution of shading (one space of the letter has it, the others don't), exhibits poor circulation plus moodiness. This kind of writing usually happens at puberty or menopause. The shaded area created by heavy pressure seems to counsel a physical situation of which the physique is conscious and to which it responds. Since only the center zone is heavily pressured, the situation lies somewhere in midbody, most likely within the abdominal area.
Take into account the letter ('L') that looks like a zero; this indicates someone with a mathematical bent.
Picture the downstroke (in the 'L') severed into two elements. Think about this letter superimposed over the physique of a person. The break would lie somewhere in the area of the heart. Therefore we see a weak coronary heart or one which may be about to have an attack.
Take into account the letter written in a extremely simplified method; each time a letter is simplified and nonetheless contains all the components vital for studying, we see a fast, sensible thoughts.
When the letter ('L') is in the form of a quantity 4, it shows a love of order and technique. The square shape indicates a desire to place things in some kind of order, and the resemblance to a number provides methodicalness.
