    7/18

    b. Small Size Writing:This indicates an intellectual and scholarly person with a keen sense ofobservation. These people are meticulous and methodical and are destined to dowell in life.

    c. Medium / Average Sized Letters:This is characteristic of a methodical and well-balanced person with a healthy

    mind. They are suited to business rather than service. Worldly-wise, they can graspthings quickly and well despite being relatively less educated.

    d. Large Sized Letters:They show an active and restless mind. People with this handwriting are largehearted, self reliant and can influence others quickly. Very talkative, if theyconcentrate more on themselves, they can succeed easily.

    e. Very Large or Huge Lettering:People like these feel that they are important. They cannot face criticism andtherefore are definitely successful.

    g. Decrease in Size of Letters:Writing like this indicates a great level of cunning.

    h. Increase in Size of Letters:Handwriting that gets larger indicates great frankness.

    Analysis Based on Level of Writing

    a. Straight Lines: If lines are straight, the person has will power and determination.If they are absolutely straight, the person could be rigid. If a little irregular, theperson has skill in many fields or has the capability to acquire one or more.

    b. Downward Slant: A downward slant is indicative of a dismal outlook. These peopleare pessimistic, moody and gets discouraged easily. If the writing has a prominentdown ward slant, then they should be cautious because they can be foolish. Theymay try to get others sympathy by expressing this quality. If a person is not well

    physically and his or her writing has an extreme downward slant, it is not a goodsign. It should be taken as a warning.

    c. Upward Slant: People who write this way are usually ambitious. They are alsooptimistic. If your handwriting has an upward slant, you probably can talk a lot,could be over-confident and sometimes unreliable. If the slant has a slight upwardtrend, then it is a good sign. If the slant is very steep, all these qualities areexaggerated.

    d. Irregular Lines: If the lines go upwards, but only towards the end of a sentence,particularly near the bottom of the page, they indicate a strong personality. Suchpeople are courageous even in adversity.

    e. Falling Lines: If at the end of a line and at the bottom of a page, your lines fall, itmeans you get irritated and worried easily. You are weak and prone to stress.

    f. Dipped Lines: Lines which dip in the centre and rise again later indicate a half-hearted approach to work. People with such a hand start on work half-heartedly,with no purpose. Later they get enthusiastic and finish the task well.

    g. Humped Lines: These are lines that rise in the centre like a hump and then diponce again. These people start work enthusiastically but soon get discouraged andleave the task mid way.

    The significance of spacing

    8/18

    a. Line Spacing: This is an important aspect of hand writing analysis. It proves howimportant it is for the analyst to have a number of samples of a person's writing toprovide an accurate judgment of an individual's personality traits.

    b. Close Spacing: If the lines are very close to each other and have no space inbetween, they show a confused personality with diverse thoughts crowding themind.

    c. Average Spacing: These people are never in a hurry. They are casual and clear inthought, and in their day- to -day behaviour. They are well balanced and fair intheir dealings.

    e. Connected Writing: When the letters of each word are connected it is calledconnected writing. These people are firm, bold, clear, and are positive attitude.They work in a refined way and are perfectionists. It is the mark of an outrightsceptic.

    f. Broken Writing: Here, a few letters are disconnected. This type of writingindicates an ability to judge human character. Their writing looks rhythmic andsignifies a fine flow of thought and interspersed with quick inspirational touches. Itis indeed the writing of intelligent people.

    g. Disconnected Writing: Here every letter is separate. These people live in dreamsand have a poetic mind. Inevitably, this is a person who loves art and nature. Donot confuse this handwriting with printed letters.

    Some Finer Points of Judgement / Analysis Based On Letter Formation.

    a. Rounded Letter: Writing of this type has rounded formations. It seems as if thewriter has written in comfort and at leisure. These people are lazy, luxurious, andhate to do hard work. They have all the time in the world to chat but still thinkthat they are busy. However, they are also peace- loving, law-abiding and cravethe better things in life.

    b. Block Writing: These letters are plain simple and unadorned. The writing isstraight. People of this type are hard-working, meticulous and practical. They aregenerally busy and are reserved by nature.

    c. Angular Writing: This is distinguished from 'Block' and 'Round' types of writing.People who write this way are full of energy and life. They want to lead people butare aggressive and desire quick results. They do not take criticism well. If the

    writing is too angular it shows a person as money-minded. If moderately angularthe writer could be wise, loving and experienced.d. Single Letters: If the size of the letter does not change, it indicates that a person

    is very careful and conscious. These people never neglect their duties and arecareful to finish whatever task is assigned to them. They are usually absorbed inthe minutest details of any work that they undertake.

    g. Large to Small Letters: This shows a tactful and friendly nature. People like thismake good use of their connections. They are fair in all their dealings.

    Finer Significance of Angle/ Slant

    One of the most important aspects of graphology is the angle or slant of a person's writing.This needs special study since the variations though minimal, are significant.

    a. If a slant is at 60 to 70 degrees, it shows the person as sensitive, emotional andimaginative. They get aggressive at the slightest provocation and have an intensenature. One should be very careful when dealing with them, since they get excitedvery quickly.

    b. If the slant is at 70 to 80 degrees, these people are very generous and very kind.They can make others happy and this helps them build careers. They share theirhappiness with others.

    c. A slant of 80 to 90 degrees is very common. This style is widely used and has aslight tilt towards the right. It indicates a cordial nature and a friendly attitudetowards others. These people are genuine and usually take things easy. It is notdifficult to manage people of this kind.

    d. If the slant is right-angled at 90 degrees, it shows a selfish nature. These peopleare analytic and unemotional, but could also be sincere and reliable. They alwaysrecognise obligations and hence prove good friends.

    e. If the slant is at 100 degrees, it indicates that the person remembers all the goodand bad things that have happened in the past. It shows a nature that is suppressedand controlled, and which therefore could collapse when faced with problems anddifficulty.

    If the slant is at 120 degrees, the person is cold and self-centred, and has no respect orregard towards others.

    Hence, the above mentioned are few of the traits that can beeasily determined through the graphological analysis of ahandwriting sample. Even a more comprehensive picture of theperson concerned can be developed by the detailed study.

    Not only positive traits can be determined through graphology,but certain potentially negative traits can be found out, whichcould otherwise prove detrimental. It is always better if one

    knows beforehand the harmful side of the person concerned,so that one is able to save himself from the negativeconsequences.

    Dishonesty is probably the best researched area in graphology.Studies conducted throughout Europe, South America, Israel,and the Soviet Union have produced ample data correlating avariety of traits with different types of dishonesty.

    There are few signs of dishonesty:Overly slow writing.8

    Double or triple looped8 ovals.

    Stabs in the ovals.8

    Wedging.8

    The felons claw.8

    There are few potentially negative traits or dishonest traitswhich can be determined with the help of graphological

    principles.

    The traits are:

    DECEIT:according to graphology, a person who has double loops in hiswriting, and there is no trait present to counter it, then the

  • 7/30/2019 Personallity Traits

    14/18

    person is considered to be deceitful.

    like.

    ARROGANCE:this trait includes vanity i.e., long t and d stems, backwardslant and dominating personality i.e., t bar that slants down tothe right of the stem of the t.

    control his emotions.

    PROCRASTINATION:this trait means delaying a work to the fullest and it is denotedby t-bars on the left side only.

    JEALOUSY:

  • 7/30/2019 Personallity Traits

    15/18

    as known by everyone this trait is really negative and canprove detrimental to one-self as well as others. This trait issupposed to be present in a person, if the person concernedhas small initial loops in letter formations.

    EVASIVENESS:this trait means that the person tends to shun or avoid thesituation rather than face it. If the circle letters of the writinghave hooks.i.e., in letters like d, a, o, then the person is saidto possess evasive trait.

    FELONS CLAW:the felons claw means subconscious guilt, bitterness, and badinstincts. The felons claw maker is someone who will pretend

    to have the best interests at heart. He will seem to be thenicest person on earth. No one would suspect this person ofhaving an evil bone in his body. But then he is setting up onlyto stab in the back; he will end up clawing. This is the mostfrightening because one does not know the knife is coming.
