Be a Handwriting Detective

Is the handwriting large or small, upright, or leans to the left or to the right, or a mixture of all three? These are just a few of the many characteristics ( traits ) that a trained analyst, or to use the proper term (graphologist ) has to do in order to come to the correct conclusion before compiling his report on the writer.

Handwriting analysis (graphology) is a fascinating subject and is regarded as an art, and also a science both by the amateur and the professionals and students in the universities where it is taught, also by police (questioned documents), marriage guidance, (compatibility), and by companies seeking to avail themselves with a prospective employee’s intellect and how he/she might react under pressure etc, hence the wording on a job application may state (Apply in your own handwriting).

When we put pen to paper we are communicating our thoughts, wishes, or information, in a positive way, so we think, but running in tandem are our subconscious thoughts and feelings, which are joining us on our handwriting journey across the page. these feelings etc, manifest themselves as traits in the script. these traits are telling the trained observer more about ourselves than we may be aware of, or even wish to disclose even if we did know.

In these days of texts and emails we seem to have lost that special ’something’ we get from a handwritten letter, but when we do receive a letter we instantly form an impression which makes us find the script attractive or not, at this point we start to form an opinion of the writer, whom we may not know, rather like the impression we get when meeting someone for the first time face to face. Rightly or wrongly we either like or dislike that person, but our opinion can change either way when we get to know them. The same goes for the writer of the letter we have received, our like or dislike can be reversed when we understand the traits that are in the script, and like the detective looking for clues, they are there to be uncovered.

If we work with figures, these can been seen in the script, as can other traits be found exposing trades, and professions, such as musical notation, architecture, and all manner of things includind sexual deviations. drugs, and the macabre, nothing is hidden. Scripts will show someone who is assertive, spiteful, artistic, lazy, and every other conceivable facet that nature embeds in us, and complex as we all are, these traits having manifested themselves in our handwriting, are waiting to be ‘plucked’ off the page by the graphologist. This is why handwriting is often referred to as brain writing, because the pen, when held in our hand, takes on a similar role to an encephalograph, receiving impulses direct from the brain via the motor nerves to the paper.
