In my previous blog titled Stepping Up to the Plate, I described how I gave an impromptu
presentation about handwriting analysis for my Network Referral Group partners
during our weekly lunch meeting. In today’s blog, I will share the list of
basic criteria I examine when I do basic handwriting analyses at fund-raiser
events and during hypnotherapy sessions.
This list does not include the
hundreds of other individual characteristics that I also study when I do a
formal handwriting analysis for clients or as part of an employment-screening
process.
- Handwriting is an ideomotor (automatic, subconscious physical) response of the subconscious mind that reflects the behavioral and personality traits of the author.
- You cannot tell sex/sexual orientation, age, handedness or future of the writer by his or her handwriting.
- I use handwriting to indicate personality traits and behavior tendencies that may be addressed during hypnotherapy.
- Handwriting reflects the mood of the writer at the time the sample is written. I analyze handwriting in that context.
- Handwriting may indicate health issues. For example, I saw evidence of one of my former boss’s appendicitis in his writing in the form of a tiny gap in the lower right quadrant of the oval letters in his writing. After the appendix was removed, this gap disappeared.
Note: I am less interested in the content of what you write than the shape, etc. of the letters in the sample. Here are some basic handwriting
characteristics I look for:
· Straightness/waviness
of the base-line;
· Left,
right, upright slant of the letters;
· Presence
and size of left, right, top and bottom page margins;
· Shape
of the m and n indicates the writer’s Suggestibility;
· Presence
of an end-stroke passing through the baseline on the y and g (at the end of a
word) indicates the writer’s Sexual Personality;
· Entanglement
of letters/beginning and ending strokes between lines of writing
· Space
(or lack of) between letters in a word, between words and between lines of text;
· Similarity/difference
between the writing in the body of the sample and the person’s signature;
· Pressure
of the writing on the page and even the choice of writing implement used;
· Form
of oval letters/roundedness of letters, which indicates suggestibility about
specific issues (e.g., body image, self-esteem);
· Connecting
strokes.
