Free Basic Handwriting Analysis Course

Take this course and you will learn basic handwriting analysis principles andthree writing traits: Size, Slant, and Baseline.

Before you start the course, you should create a writing sample of your ownhandwriting. Get a piece of unlined paper and, using a black ink pen, write a fewsentences, then sign and date it.

INTRODUCTIONHandwriting is a form of expressive movement - it is our movement frozen onpaper.

There are lots of ways that we observe how people express themselves. When wetalk with someone on the telephone we not only listen to what the person is saying,we listen to how they are saying it: their tone, speed, inflection, emphasis,hesitations, loudness, and many other things. Some studies have shown that over80% of verbal communication is how something is said, and so we have learned tolisten to these signals. When we are talking with someone in person, again we notonly listen to what they are saying, but how they are saying it. Additionally, welook at their body language. We notice how close they stand, if their arms arecrossed, if their eyes are wandering, and so on.

When we look at handwriting, there is the message conveyed by what was written,but there is also a message in how the writing was done: what is the size, slant,pressure, speed, etc. Once you know the basics of handwriting analysis, the writingwill reveal to you aspects of the personality of the writer. A personality quiz asksyou questions about yourself to determine who you are, but for the handwritinganalyst, there are not questions that need to be asked - you just look at the writing!

Basic Concepts for AnalyzingHandwriting• In school, we are all taught to write the same way. How we choose to vary ourwriting is a result of our individual and unique personalities. If you are havingdoubts about this, just look at the signatures at the bottom of the Declaration ofIndependence here .

• Different writing characteristics are called handwriting indicators or writingtraits. Examples include writing size, slant, and pressure. No single indicatortotally defines a person. The interpretations of all indicators must be consideredtogether. However, a strong personality trait will show up again and again in a

person's handwriting.

• The more indicators you look at, the clearer your understanding of the writer willbe. In this very basic course we look at three major indicators, and there are 11 inthe Handwriting Insights Kit. A professional graphologist looks at hundreds ofindicators.

• An ideal writing sample is written spontaneously in ink on unlined paper writtenwith a pen, and signed and dated by the writer. But a sentence or two with a

signature, or a signature alone, is enough for the purposes of this basic analysis.

• A lot of handwriting analysis is common sense and basic correlation. People whodot their "i's" and cross their "t's" precisely tend to be more meticulous than thosewho don't. Stylish people often have stylish writing, and so on. A lot of what you'lllearn in handwriting analysis won't surprise you at all.

• Whereas handwriting represents how a person feels privately (their truepersonality), the person's signature represents the public image that the writerwants to project. Therefore, a big difference between a person's writing and theirsignature indicates a big the difference between their private and public self. Whenthe writing and the signature are identical, then "what you see is what you get" andthe person presents themself identical to how they feel inside.

• This course applies to the handwriting of people 12 years and older.

SizeThe size of the writing indicates the writer's desire to be noticed.

By just knowing SIZE and knowing that a signature represents our "public image"and how we write represents how we feel privately, we can learn something aboutthe writers of the examples below.

a) Small writing with a Large signature

This person is spending significant energy to overcome their private quiet natureand to be noticed. The gap in the size, from small writing to large signature,indicates a big difference between how this person feels inside (a more privatepersonality) and how they present them self (a personality who gets attention).


5/13

b) Small writing with a small signature

Often found in the writing of person with good concentration and possiblyintroverted. When I work with a person like this I make sure that I have all myfacts in order to the last detail, because they pay attention to details.

c) Medium writing with Large Signature

It is rather common for people to sign their name a little larger than they normally

write, and this indicates putting a little effort out there to be noticed.

A friend of mine was complaining that his girlfriend didn't like going out withgroups of people as much as he did. He said that "she wasn't trying hard enough."We looked at his writing (very large, with a large middle zone which you will learnabout later but indicates people interaction is a strength) and her writing (verysmall) and concluded that given her private more introverted nature it is a lotharder for her than for him to interact with groups of people.

Go look at some writing samples and see for yourself what you find out!!!

******************

SlantThe Slant of writing indicates the writer’s emotional interactions.

The information below is directly taken from Handwriting Insights - here are whatthe different writing sizes indicate. To print these two sheets click Slant-Front ,and Slant-Back .

Here are what the different slants of writing mean.


7/13

Now, so far considering Slant and knowing that a signature represents our "publicimage" and how we write represents how we feel privately, lets apply this to a fewcases.a) Left slant writing with a right slant signature This person is privately a more reserved person, but they are giving the appearanceof being more socially outgoing. You can be sure that inside they are carefully notnearly as spontaneous and outgoing as they appear.

b) Strong right slant on writing with a vertical slant on the signature -This person has an intense personality, but they give the appearance of being moreanalytical and reserved. They have learned to control their intense nature in thepublic eye. As you get to know the person better, you would get to see this otherside of them.


8/13

c) Small vertical writing with large, right slant signature Here the writer has an analytical mind with attention to detail, and is presenting animage of a commanding presence and interpersonal skills. Although this person

appears to be outgoing and socially very comfortable, inside they are feeling morereserved and private.

See how easy it is to combine the traits to understand people better. Remember, weare only looking at a few traits, and there may be other aspects of the writing thatcontradicts it. Each trait is a piece of the puzzle.

Now let's think about what it means if your slant and the slant of a friend of yoursdiffers.

a) Your slant is strong right, and your friend is strong leftBe careful, as you plow ahead on things, that you take a little extra time to check inwith your friend and see that they really agree. Understand that even though theymay not react on the surface to something with the intensity that you do, it does notmean they do not feel it deeply inside.

b) Your slant is right, and your friend is verticalIf you are making a decision keep in mind that right slanted writers tend to me

more impulsive, and that the vertical writer may need a little extra information tosatisfy their analytical nature.

******************

BaselineAn important factor in judging the writer's emotional stability and disposition is thebaseline of the writing. The baseline is the actual line upon which letters arewritten. On unlined paper, the baseline is assumed by the writer. However, even onlined paper the writer does not always adhere to the line provided. The baselinechanges based on the immediate mood of the writer and can vary from day to dayor moment to moment. Because of this, any interpretation derived from baselineshould be prefaced by the phrase "at this time". In the Handwriting Insights slidedeck there are 10 different variations covered. These are the four most common

baselines.

The information below is directly taken from Handwriting Insights - here are whatthe different writing sizes indicate. To print these two sheets click Baseline-Front ,

and Baseline-Back .

Here are what the different baselines indicate.

10/13

Remember, when the writing matches the signature (in slant, size, baseline, etc.)then "what you see is what you get." Now, considering that the writing representshow we feel privately, and our signature is our public image, let's look at someexamples where the baseline of the writing does not match the baseline of thesignature.

a) Descending baseline on writing, ascending baseline on signatureThis is something that I bet you will see surprisingly often. It indicates that thewriter is acting upbeat while inside they are feeling overwhelmed, tired, orpessimistic. Most of us want to put on a good face for the world to see. It is nicethat the writer gives us this clue that they may need more support andencouragement.

b) Normally Straight baseline on writing, ascending baseline on signature


11/13

Again, you will see this fairly often. It indicates that the writer is fine, howeverthey choose to act even more upbeat than they feel inside.
