What is handwriting: types, styles, types, options
Handwriting analysis is carried out on the basis of existing classifications.
The specialist notes the presence or absence of signs from the list.
Usually graphologists pay special attention to:
- proficiency (low, medium, high);
- structure (the height is equal to the width, the distance between the lines and letters is large, the width and height of the letters remain static in the process of writing, the height of the lines and spacing is significant);
- pace (writing words and letters without tearing the pen, simplified writing of letters, monotonous writing of letters, presence of sharp elements, complex construction of letters, separation of the pen from paper while writing, presence of blunt and rounded elements);
- coordination (presence of convoluted and broken strokes, angularity of oval elements, disproportion of letters and elements).
- resilience (characteristics of the form, size, marks and nuances of placing the text on the working field);
- movement characteristic (rounded, loop-shaped, angular, straight, oblique form of movements, etc.).
Features in men and women
The chances of determining the gender of a person by handwriting are quite high, since men and women have certain features of writing that are characteristic only for people of the same sex.
Typical female handwriting it is distinguished by roundness of lines, connectedness and the presence of decorative strokes (flourishes). The number of sharp and sharp angles is minimized. In general, the letter looks harmonious, does not resemble a "ladder" and is easy to read.
Men small and add sharp movements, because of which the letters often go into scatter, and the corners clearly stand out against the general background of the line (see an example).
The handwriting has a deep inclination and is hard to read, the aesthetics indicator is minimal. Perhaps the letters are too strong and even caricaturedly simplified. Individual elements of the letter look disproportionate against the general background.
Psychology of writing famous people
If you carefully study the records of great and famous people, you will notice interesting patterns.
The fact is that only a few who have rare talents or expressive psychological portraits have achieved universal fame.
Therefore, their handwritings are hypertrophied compared to the handwriting of the ordinary citizen.
- Marilyn Monroe. In the last years of her life, the phenomenal blonde made notes in her diary in a rather neat and legible handwriting. However, in her letter there is a large number of capital letters, which does not comply with the rules. Such a nuance may indicate that the image of the adored flirty suppressed the true identity of Monroe.
- Peter the First. Judging by the handwriting, Peter the Great was very controversial in kind. The organization of the text on the page hints at the variability of character and ardent temper. Small and thin letters side by side with big and thick letters.
This style suggests that the owner of the letter often "replays" the development of events and suffers from internal conflicts.
- Napoleon Bonaparte It is noteworthy that Napoleon’s writing style was very different from the style he used for painting. And this means that the commander hid his true face under the mask (for the sake of society).
- Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci used a special method of writing - left-sided mirror handwriting. The records of Leonardo are difficult to decipher, as are the fruits of his scientific and creative searches.
Psychological picture
What can you learn and say on the handwriting of a person? Analysis:
- What does small handwriting say? Small letters give the ability to concentrate. People using small handwriting are not prone to conflicts. If small letters are combined with short intervals in a letter, it means that the owner of the handwriting is distinguished by secrecy and unwillingness to make contact.
- Sweeping handwriting. If a person writes a sweeping hand, it can make a great strategist. This style of writing demonstrates the ability to think in global categories.
- Printed handwriting. Some people use block letters, partially or completely replacing them with capital letters. This suggests a discrepancy between the views of man and modern realities. Most likely, a person is in constant emotional conflict with future changes, and strive to maintain stability, choosing simple and logical actions from a variety of options.
- The slope of the handwriting to the left: what does it mean? If the inclination to the left is barely noticeable, then the person is guided by the head, not the heart. Rationality for such a person comes first. A pronounced slope to the left is usually observed in left-handers.
Such a manner of writing suggests that a person has good self-control skills and deliberately hides his feelings from others.
- Vertical letters without inclination they talk about balance of personality.
- Illegible handwriting. The owner of illegible handwriting, most likely a secretive person, and perhaps used to hold back the details of individual events. He seeks to confuse others, even with a hint without revealing the presence of a secret / secret. If illegible handwriting is combined with funny or bizarre elements, the letter owner may suffer from obsessive ideas.
- Gnarled, careless, bad handwriting: a sign of what. Careless handwriting, devoid of a hint of accuracy, signals the vividness of his master's mind. A person quickly thinks and makes decisions, so the hand does not keep up with dynamic and rapid thoughts. Emotionally unstable people can also observe sloppy and wry handwriting. But for people with similar problems, the line “jumps” and changes throughout the letter, then shrinking to small letters, then grabbing the extra “territory”.
- Sharp, angular handwriting. If the author writes in angular letters and sharpens certain elements, you see the handwriting of an adamant person.
Such a person eagerly enters into a dispute and competition. He will go to a victorious end, while ignoring the opinion and even the help of the public.
- Round hand. The author of the round handwriting is open to everything new and interesting. He is willing to cooperate and can give primacy to determined competitors / colleagues if necessary. But, despite the episodic passivity, the person will not break under the onslaught of small and large failures.
- If the handwriting goes up. The runaway handwriting speaks about optimism and the tendency to shift its problems to others. Such a person can sit, passively waiting for a wonderful outcome. But at the same time, he will not be discouraged even in a hopeless situation.
- If the letters go downit means that the author of the letter is pessimistic about the world. But at the same time, the performance of this pessimist is very high.
- Heavy pressure talks about willpower and perseverance. BUT pale letters about weakness.
- Fused handwriting says that its owner has developed logic. In turn writing in separate letters talks about a developed intuition.
- The presence of loops. Lower loops absent: a person with independent thinking. Narrow and long loop: man cautious. A wide round loop indicates a desire to be noticed.
If the writing style does not fall under known classifications, most likely the letter belongs to an extraordinary, creative person with a creative streak.
Such people practice innovative approach in everything, but sometimes they put themselves above society.
What does a person's handwriting depend on?
Why does the handwriting change? Why does a person write in different handwriting?
Man's handwriting depends on congenital and acquired character traits, the state and mood of a person, his gender, age and social status.
Handwriting may change over time. In older people, the fine motor skills are gradually lost, the hands are shaking and the letters are displayed in a characteristic way.
During attacks of aggression people put too much pressure on the paper, as a result of which they force the canvas and leave deep traces on the sheet.
People in love "soar in the clouds" and derive various monogramswhen distracted from writing and remember the subject of their tender feelings.
As a result, the brain cannot concentrate directly on the letter and offers an alternative (simplified) operation for the image of hooks and spirals.
The handwriting may change even depending on to whom the message is intended. In one case, the person will try and accurately display the letters.
In another case, he will be angry scatter offensive lines on paper. Well, the last recipient will be sent a letter saturated with doubts and trembling.
But regardless of the circumstances and various factors, a person does not change his usual manner of writing. He will use the usual elements, tilt or decoration in "automatic mode".
Someone trusts graphology. Someone calls her pseudoscience. But to deny the fact that handwriting is associated with the character and characteristics of a person is meaningless. Otherwise, people would simply adopt the manner of writing from their first teachers.
