Handwriting
is an ideomotor response that provides insight into the writer’s subconscious
mind. I explained the role of handwriting analysis in my hypnotherapy practice
and identified some specific traits I look at in each HWA in two of my previous
blogs (Handwriting
Analysis for Hypnotherapy and And
Your Handwriting Says). Here, I will describe several other prominent handwriting
characteristics I look at and what these traits say about the writer’s suggestibility (how we learn), subconscious
behaviors and motivations.
Here are a few more handwriting
characteristics that I look at:
·
Spacing
(between letters):
The size—or amount of space—between letters indicate the writer’s width or
narrowness of thinking. The less space there is indicates that the writer has a
narrow view and is less willing to take risks in his or her life.
·
Spacing
(between words):
The amount of space between words indicates social maturity. The less space
there is between words suggests that the individual needs people and attention.
However, this person is unlikely to be open to what others say or believe.
·
Spacing
(between zones): A
writer who leaves more space between lines of writing indicates that he or she
tends to be generous, courageous and independent.
·
Size
of letters: The
size of each letter indicates the writer’s opinion of him- or herself. Small
writing suggests that the person tends to be thrifty and may not have many
friends; however, he or she is capable of deep concentration and extreme
attention to detail. Average-size writing indicates someone who tends to
conform to social expectations and exhibits normal caution and reserve. Someone
who has large writing tends to be extroverted (social) and takes the
initiative; he or she needs to be noticed. Someone who has very-large
writing may be aggressive and single-minded, possibly rebellious.
·
Variable
size of writing: If
the size of the writing increases, this suggests that the person’s
communication style tends to be blunt. When the size of the writing decreases,
the writer’s communication style tends to be diplomatic and conforming.
·
Fancy/ornate
writing: This style
is identified by many swirls and embellishments of the writing. The writer
tends to be someone who “must” be at the center of attention; it may also
indicate someone who possesses an artistic personality, or someone who is
acting out or showing off.
These
are just a few more indicators of personality that I look at when I analyze
handwriting in my hypnotherapy practice. For more information about handwriting
analysis, or if you would like to request an in-depth analysis of your own
writing, please send me an e-mail
