During the latter part of the 20th century, graphology acquired increasing support in both the
world of science and the mind of the general public. Proponents have claimed that each
individual's handwriting has unique qualities that can never be exactly duplicated. A real
world example of this can be seen in the fact that even the best forgeries can be detected by
trained experts.
Perhaps more importantly, graphologists assert that the unique graphic qualities that can be
identified in an individual's handwriting are neither the product of conscious thought or
chance. According to graphologists, a person's handwriting is nothing less than a diagram of
that person's unconscious and as such reflect their personality and character.
If, as graphologists contend, handwriting can provide an accurate analysis of personality and
character, even the most basic study of graphology can be extremely helpful for mentalists.
For the private reader, it can prove to be invaluable. While mastering the intricacies of
graphology isn't something accomplished overnight, there are some general concepts that
can offer you a great deal of insight into the mind of a client or audience member.
In recent years, medical science has assigned growing importance to the idea that
"handwriting is brainwriting." Expressed more simply, you write what you are.
This concept is extremely powerful, and can't be underestimated. Consider the scenario in
which you've asked someone to write a question about their future. By simply looking at the
graphic patterns of their handwriting, you can gain an instant understanding of their
unconscious mind, which in turn provides you with direct access to how they view
themselves and the world they live in. Having this information, as you can imagine, can add
both depth and accuracy to a cold reading, and be a huge advantage when it comes to
forming an answer that is both helpful and meaningful.
A complete and accurate understanding of a person's personality and world view through
graphology requires the examination of the many individual components that go into a
person's handwriting. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide you with all of the
knowledge and skills you will need to master graphology in a short article like this one. There
are, however, a few key characteristics that will give you quick insight into the person's
personality.
Because there are many other factors that can be present, this information must, of course,
be used cautiously and responsibly.

If you look at nothing else, the slant of the letters in a person's handwriting will reveal a very
important clue to the person's personality: are they extroverted, introverted, or balanced?
To quickly determine the slant of a person's writing, draw an imaginary vertical line through
the letters in the handwriting sample. The easiest letters to do this with are "t," "h," "l," "p,"
"y," and "g."
Is the line vertical, or does it slant to the left or to the right? And how much?
In Western culture, we write from left to right, which can be interpreted as a flow of
communication from "me to you." Graphologists sometimes refer to the slant as the
"emotional quotient" because it can represent the inner emotions of a person.
Right = Extrovert
Writing that slants to the right suggests the natural communication from the writer to others.
A moderate right slant is considered ideal, as it can indicate someone who likes people and
has their emotions are under control, allowing them to communicate well.
The greater the slant is to the right, the greater will be the person's enthusiasm, emotional
response, and tendencies for impulsive behavior. This person is likely to let their heart
dominate their head.
An extreme right slant can indicate an individual who is very expressive and demonstrative,
and possibly unstable in behavior. At its most extreme, the person may be unpredictable and
volatile. People that exhibit this type of slant can be extremely jealous and be prone to
dangerous temperamental outbursts.
Vertical = Balanced
If the person's handwriting is vertical, their mind rules their thinking and actions. This writer
will value control of emotion, sometimes resulting in the repression of emotion. These
people are often difficult to know, and are independent, calculating and deliberate in action.
Left = Introvert
Writing that slants to the left indicates someone who shies away from life and people in
general. An extreme left slant suggests a person who has difficulty responding to life, which
will manifest as unhappiness, fear, inhibition, and a distrust of others.
________________________________________________________________________
The size of the writing is the next characteristic of a person's handwriting to assess and can
provide valuable insight into the personality of the writer.
Used as a pronoun, the letter "I" represents the person's self-view, and a key characteristic to
examine is the slant of the “I”.
________________________________________________________________________
Other Considerations
An "I" with an excessive slant can indicate a person who cries out for support from those
around them. A small "I" can reveal that someone with an overly-large and elaborate
signature is, in reality, actually putting up a facade. A backward-leaning "I" may indicate guilt
feelings and a lack of self-confidence.
If the signature varies significantly from the rest of the person's handwriting, ask yourself
why. Generally, a disparity between the signature and the rest of a person's writing suggests
that the person is presenting a facade, i.e., a consciously-created "public face" for the outside
world to see. The body of the writing is often considered to reflect the personality of the
writer, while the signature is an indication of what the writer wants others to believe about
________________________________________________________________________
In cases such as these, an analysis of the rest of a person's writing should be considered as
more reliable. Bold and dramatic signatures may be an indication of confidence and self-
importance, but an examination of the capital "I" and other factors in the body of the
person's handwriting may reveal that it is all pretense and bluster, compensating for a low
self-esteem and a lack of genuine self-confidence.
Naturally, balance is the key to a healthy self-view. Compare the bold and confident
signature to other capital letters (especially the capital "I" and the capital letters at the
beginning of each sentence). If the person is genuinely self-confident, the capital letters will
also be tall and confident, without an excessive slant in either direction.
"T" bars that are written high above the stem are considered to be a sign of imagination and
leadership.
The "t" bar written to the left of the stem is often viewed as a sign of procrastination and
emotional dependence.
A “t” bar written to the right of the "t" may indicate a quick mind that is prone to
impatience and impulsive decisions.
The "t" bar that is heavier at the end than it is at the beginning indicates brutality.
A long, strong "t" bar is evidence of will power, strength, aggressiveness, and enthusiasm.
For example, an "i" dot positioned before the letter means procrastination, and an “i” dot
positioned after the “i” indicates impatience.
Like the “t” bar that is heavier at the end than it is at the beginning, a club-shaped “i” dot
________________________________________________________________________
An “i” dot positioned exactly above the "i" indicates a good memory.
The "i" with a complete little circle for its dot indicates artistic tendencies, and is often a sign
of an attention-seeker.
The upper zone – the upper loops and strokes, including those of capitals – is considered to
represent the intellect, spirit, idealism, creativity, a preoccupation with dreams and illusions,
and a craving for power.
The middle zone represents practical reality, and the lower zone represents the area of
materialism and physical needs.
When writing in the upper zone is high in relation to the middle zone, it is an indication of
great reach, curiosity and intellectual drive.
Loops and strokes that are extended beyond the lower zone are an indication of an enhanced
emphasis on a person's physical needs and the material world.
A quick look at the written question can provide you with information about what the
person wants to know (e.g., in a Q&A context), while their handwriting itself will reveal how
they feel about the subject and what their likely approach to the matter may be.
