Graphology
the study of handwriting and handwriting analysis
Graphology is 'brainwriting' - the handwriting comes directly from the writer in a uniquely personal and individual way, irrespective of how the person has been taught to write
A person's handwriting - the script - and its placing on the page express the unique impulses of the individual
Slant
Right Slant - indicates a response to communication, but not how it takes place. For example, the writer may wish to be friendly, manipulative, responsive, intrusive, loving, supportive, just to name some possibilities.
If the handwriting is generally upright, this indicates independence.
Left Slant - shows emotion and reserve. This writer needs to be true to self first and foremost and can be resentful if others try to push for more commitment from them.
Size
Handwriting is made up of three zones - or cases - middle, upper and lower. A basic average measure - or benchmark - by which size can be judged is 3mm per zone. This gives a benchmark for a non-remarkable full height of 9mm. More than this is large; less than this is small.
Large size - extrovert and outgoing. However it can mean that the writer puts on an act of confidence, although this behaviour might not be exhibited to strangers.
Small size - logically can mean the opposite. Also indicates a thinker and an academic, depending upon other features in the script.
If the writing is small and delicate, the writer is unlikely to be a good communicator with anyone other than those on their own particular wavelength. These people do not generally find it easy to break new ground socially.
Pressure
Heavy Pressure - indicates commitment and taking things seriously. If the pressure is excessively heavy, that writer gets very uptight at times and can react quickly to what they might see as criticism, even though none may have been intended. These writers react first and ask questions afterwards.
Light Pressure - shows sensitivity to atmosphere and empathy to people, but can also, if the pressure is uneven, show lack of vitality.
