Graphology is the science of analyzing signatures.
Yeah, people actually study this stuff!
Your signature and handwriting are completely unique to you!
Have you ever wondered what they reveal about your personality?
Well, some questions that one of these signature experts would ask:
1.
Is the signature legible?
If you look at a signature and can clearly read the first and last name, that means that
person is straightforward, sincere, and honest, and they likely have nothing to hide.
If you can’t read the signature, that individual may have problems with authority, and isn’t
very confident in themselves.
They may have some secrets, too…
2.
Is it a full signature?
Maybe you just sign with your initials or a nickname; or a hastily scribbled first name
and then a line.
An incomplete signature indicates a very private but strong and independent person.
It’s also a sign of efficiency.
Sounds like someone you’d want on your team for a big project in the workplace or at school!
3.
What is the angle of the signature?
If someone’s signature is angled upward, this means that they’re a fighter, ambitious,
full of life, and has the need to succeed in their career.
This person may also be impatient, though.
If the upward angle is very pronounced, that means that they feel the need to succeed in
their personal life too; like with their partner, children, or home life.
If the signature is angled downward, that person may be depressed, pessimistic, and
skeptical.
Check out your friends’ signatures and see if this is true!
4.
How big are the letters?
If the letters within the signature are large, that person is most likely a very confident
extrovert...maybe too confident.
Small letters indicate an introvert.
If your signature points at introversion, you may be squashing your own potential and
you may need a little extra pumping up!
An introvert may also unknowingly alter their signature and use bigger letters in a subconscious
effort to try and get attention.
What do you think?
Is any of this true for you based on your signature?
5.
How does the first and last name compare in size?
Say someone signs their name, and their first name looks bigger than their last name.
This means that they’re a very independent and original person and feels that they can
and should only be represented by who they are as a person.
In their view, their first name is more unique than their last name, and their first name
and its meaning is important to them.
6.
Are the letters curved or straight?
If the letters in your signature are curvy and loopy, you’re probably a laid-back,
happy person with a good sense of style.
You probably have a lot of friends and a bubbly personality.
If your signature is just plain and simple without any frills, you are most likely disciplined,
firm, and serious.
You’d probably have more fun having a friendly debate with a few select friends rather than
doing an activity that might make you look silly.
7.
What is the size of any uppercase letters?
If any uppercase letters are way larger than other letters—like three times as big—that
person probably has a big ego and doesn’t like criticism.
If all the letters are the same size, this person has a high regard for other people,
and has a strong sense of humility.
If your capital letters are somewhere in between, you value yourself and know who you are, but
you’re still grounded and don’t let things go to your head; in fact, you likely have
a pretty steady self-esteem.
8.
What is the pressure?
When talking about handwriting, “pressure” refers to how hard a person presses the pen
on the paper when they’re writing or signing a document.
If you’re pressing hard on the paper, you may have an authoritarian personality, which
could also mean you have a temper.
If you put a soft pressure on the paper, this will create a smoother signature, which means
that you are calm, adaptable, and pleasant to be around.
9.
Are there any extra embellishments or decorations?
Maybe you dot your I’s with a little heart!
That’s totally fine—this just means that you’re creative and you like to express
yourself.
Swirly flairs mean that you’re a deep thinker and have a lot of thoughts “swirling”
around your head!
Any underlining indicates a decisive person, and probably someone people would look to
for leadership.
If you don’t add any frills to your signature, that’s okay too—it just means you’re
a transparent, authentic person.
10.
Is the signature uniform and straight?
In other words, are all your letters of the same and normal size?
Is your signature on a straight line—not at an angle at all?
This means that you are completely in control, of your emotions and otherwise.
You’re a balanced person, who makes equal time for work and play.
You are also likely full of modesty, even though you have a healthy confidence level.
What about your normal, everyday handwriting?
This is something that can be studied too!
• Slant If your regular handwriting slants to the
right, you are an open, social person and are ready to take on the world.
If your handwriting slants to the left, you likely keep to yourself, like to work alone,
and are fiercely independent.
No slant at all?
You tend to work on the logical side of things, and don’t wear your heart on your sleeve.
You’re very practical and aren’t easy to read.
• Loops Whether your loops are open or closed, particularly
for Ls and lowercase Es, can say a lot about how you’re feeling.
If the loops on your Ls are closed, you might be feeling tense or stressed.
If the loops on your Ls are open, that means you’re relaxed and spontaneous, and you
enjoy being creative and expressing yourself.
If your lowercase Es are closed, you aren’t bothered by emotionally charged arguments
and you tend to be pretty skeptical.
If your lowercase E is open, that means you love trying new things and tend to have an
open mind.
• The letter S If your S’s are evenly rounded, that means
you’re a non-confrontational person, so you always look for compromise.
If your S’s are hard-edged or pointy, you are a deep, intellectual thinker and like
new challenges; this also indicates high ambition.
If you’re writing out a word that has multiple S’s in it, and you change up whether you
put them in print or cursive, this means you’re a versatile person with many interests, and
you don’t hang out with just one friend group.
• Space between words A big space between words indicates that you
like your freedom and independence.
A small space between words says that you don’t like to be alone and enjoy the company
of others.
If your words are really jammed together where you can’t tell one from the other, this
might mean you have a tendency to be intrusive and smother people a little bit.
• Crossing your t’s If you finish off your t with a long cross,
you are determined and enthusiastic, but you might be a bit stubborn.
A short cross, though, might mean you’re lazy.
If your cross is high on your t, you likewise aim high, and have a lot of goals.
If your cross is low, you can probably guess—you are low on ambition and are not in the habit
of goal-setting.
• And dotting your i’s Do you dot your i high on the page or really
close to the i?
Handwriting experts say that if you make the dot higher on the page, you have an active
imagination!
If your dot is close to your i, you have a determined and focused mind, and you can concentrate
well.
And where is your dot oriented—to the left or right of the i?
If you dot to the left, experts say that you might be a bit of a procrastinator.
But let’s put that off for a while…
• Righties If you’re right-handed, you’re in the
majority, and the world was built for you!
School desks, notebooks, the computer mouse, door handles…everything!
Righties tend to be confident and practical.
You also have evolutionary advantages: righties are intuitive visual learners, and are genetically
less likely to have problems with anxiety and depression.
Righties also have really good language and speaking skills, and are likely to live longer!
Evolution has picked out these skills to be handed down the predominantly right-handed
generations.
Survival of the fittest!
• Lefties Ah, the strange creature that is the lefty!
Only about 10% of us humans are left-handed.
Lefties process information at a pretty fast rate, and are more likely to be geniuses.
Lefties also tend to be more creative, self-expressive, and into the arts.
But with the good comes the bad: lefties tend to have short fuses, and usually turn out
to be less financially successful than their right-handed counterparts.
But hey, with that being said: International Left Handers Day is a thing!
