Graphology
“How You Write is What You Are”
Actions speak more than words…true…but how about words themselves??? Your signature needn’t just be a signature, your written word needn’t actually mean what they intend, things could mean much more, something deeper than what appears at the surface. To read this hidden meaning behind the style of words, to reach deep within this hidden meaning is what a handwriting analyst or a Graphologist looks forward to. How good or bad is your handwriting…is not the question here. What does it reveal about you as a person, does the content of your message really mean what it has to… is more of concern to the handwriting expert or you can call him a Graphologist.
What Handwriting Analysis is all about?
Graphology or Handwriting Analysis is a scientific method of identifying, evaluating and understanding a person’s personality by looking at the stroke and patterns of his/her handwriting.
​
A good handwriting analysis can give an accurate and realistic description of a personality – a description that could be difficult to acquire in any other way. To the handwriting analyst, a page of handwriting says far more than the actual contents of the letter. This is because the real meaning of a hand-written letter is not always apparent in the content of the message but is to be found deep within the structure of the handwriting itself. The formation of letters, words and spacing reveals information about the hidden personality of the writer. In other words, handwriting reveals elements of a person’s personality and character, including glimpses into our subconscious mind, emotional responsiveness, intellect, energy, fear and defenses, motivational, imagination, integrity, aptitudes and even sex drives.
​
It is however to be noted that, handwriting analysis neither foretells the future, nor does it reveal the past. It gives you an insight into the person you are and can also help you to gain an understanding and insight into the personality of other people. It answers questions that can start individuals on the way to better self-understanding through tension reduction, stress management and reach greater levels of self-actualization and fulfillment.
Nature of work
Handwriting can be referred to as a type of mental photograph of a person’s inner processes. In other words, handwriting is recorded movement. The job of the handwriting analyst involves a careful study of the trail of the written movement. His job involves being able to interpret these signs in order to reconstruct the personality of the writer.
Whether we realize it or not, but our attitudes and feelings do have an influence on the formations of our handwriting. . It is the handwriting analyst’s aim to translate the meaning of these formations into language that will best describe the nature of the personality concerned.
