Psychology of handwriting


To begin with, it is very interesting why each of us has different handwriting? Handwriting, also known as brain writing, is as individual to the person as fingerprints. Occupations, relationships, personal problems as well as health related issues can be identified in a person's writing. Analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s and originated in Europe. Confucius is quoted as saying "beware of a man whose writing sways like a reed in the wind".

It is very useful to know what traits can be found while analyzing handwriting? Many traits can be shown provided the writing is in cursive, because printing has some limitations. Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes in writing which are very important.

Many personality traits including being outgoing, temper, anger towards the opposite sex, sexual deviations, generosity, broadmindedness, lying nature and hundreds more can be found when analyzing handwriting.

Handwriting does have limitations. Handwriting cannot tell the writer's gender, whether they are left or right handed, their age or their race. It also cannot tell the future or the past.

There is no such thing as a good or bad handwriting. Actually, each individual's handwriting is unique, and the chances of two persons having identical handwriting are one in a billion, So how does handwriting reveal your innermost secrets? And most importantly, how can you improve your life by changing your handwriting? Bringing out a deck of grapho handwriting trait cards and proceeding to illustrate the way one can make out certain stock traits in a person through handwriting, he says: "There are 72 typical personality traits that are revealed in certain styles of forming letters of the alphabet. These are present in different permutations and combinations in every person. For example, the way you cross the letter t reveals almost 17 things about you. If a person is crossing the t at a low point, then he has a low self-esteem, but if he is crossing it at a higher point then he has a much better sense of self-worth."

Interestingly, Baggett says that one's handwriting develops till the age of 17, and parents can help modify a child's handwriting to change certain personality traits in him.

Handwriting is very interesting because not only can change people’s personality and watch people’s writing change as well, but also the reverse is true! Sometimes there are personality traits that person wishes he did not have, but he didn't know how to get rid of them. One way to change person’s personality is to use handwriting therapy, also known as graphotherapy. The person learns how to change their writing to rid themselves of unwanted traits, and practices this under the watchful eye of a trained graphologist. Handwriting analysis is becoming a recognized part of therapy
.

Analyzing handwriting has many different facets. For instance, it is used in the court of law when dealing with d
ocument forgery. Companies are beginning to hire handwriting analysts to assist them in finding the right person for the right job. This is because handwriting analysis is a science – it is not guesswork. It is used as a tool to determine the compatibility of an individual to the requirements of a job as well as the compatibility of one individual to another.

In conclusion, writing analysis is very interesting and has endless possibilities. The focus must be on the individual. There is no set formula to tell you how to be successful in life, but if you can understand the way your subconscious mind works, then the solution must be tailor-made for your requirements." So, if changing your handwriting can really change your life
for the better, then it is time you picked up a pen and began writing right!
