Emotional energy is determined by how much pressure the writer uses when he writes.If you examine the writing you can determine how much pressure was used by how "dark" the writing is. Also, if you turn the page over and feel the underside you can feel how much pressure was used.

Writers with heavy pressure are usually highly successful. They have a lot of vitality and their emotional experiences last for a long time.

Writers who write with average pressure are usually moderately successful and usually have enough energy to make it through the day.

Those with light pressure try to avoid energy draining situations.

The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writers emotional response to external forces.

A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. They are caring, warm and outgoing -- their heart rules their mind.

A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep their emotions in check -- mind rules their heart.

A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal their emotions and is observed as cold and indifferent.

Putting it Together.

Now let's mix some of these traits and see what we come up with.

1. A writer with heavy pressure and a vertical slant:
Heavy pressure = strong emotions and vertical slant = trying to hold emotions back. This writer is usually the one who keeps his wits about him. When "all hell breaks loose," his head rules. He will not be as emotionally responsive as a right slant writer and will "keep cool". This "heavy pressure-vertical slant" writer won't be able to keep his cool all of the time. When his emotions get the best of him he may "fly off the handle" at unpredictable times.

2. A person with light pressure writing (not much emotional or physical energy) and a left slant (tries to avoid emotional situations): This person will be emotionally withdrawn, cold, indifferent and self centered.

The next step is to determine the emotional control and reliability of the writer. This trait is shown in the baseline of the writing.

The baseline is a real or imagined line where the small letters rest. Baseline is best determined if the sample is submitted on unlined paper to ensure that the writer does not follow the pre-printed lines. For best results, handwriting analysts always prefer samples written on unlined paper.

The baseline can be straight, wavy, erratic or sloped. A normal baseline should be slightly wavy. A person with a straight baseline is tense and over disciplined. A very wavy baseline signals a person who is on an emotional roller coaster.

An ascending baseline means optimism. A descending baseline means pessimism, tiredness or depression. A level baseline indicates a healthy balance between optimism and pessimism.

Small writing points to someone who has the ability to concentrate on minor details for long periods of time. They are not easily distracted by outside forces. These writers include scientists, researchers, bookkeepers, etc. People who write small like to work alone. They can be trusted to take on tedious tasks and follow them through to completion without being side tracked. Those who write small are usually conservative and thrifty.

Most of us write average size, indicating an average ability to concentrate. We have to force ourselves to concentrate on minor details, especially for long periods of time.

Large writers are easily distracted. They have trouble concentrating and easily get "off-track." At work, these individuals should be given varying duties and assignments that are quick to complete.

There are three zones to examine in handwriting. These zones reflect imagination and desires.

The upper zone reveals intellectual thought, abstract thinking, daydreaming, psychic abilities, and imagination. The upper zone indicates philosophical imagination.

The middle zone deals with the day to day aspects of life, like home, family, paying the bills, work and social concerns. The middle zone points to our approach to daily life.

The lower zone emphasizes physical and material drives such as physical abilities, sex drive, appetite, and the desire for material wealth. The lower zone reveals activities essential to survival.

SPACING BETWEEN LETTERS

Average spacing between letters points to a person who is self-confident and feels comfortable and at ease.

Letters written close together or "compressed" indicate a person who feels uncomfortable about themselves, and usually has low self-esteem or is self-conscious.

Irregularly spaced letters indicate that the writer is confused, uncertain, or mixed up.

SPACING BETWEEN WORDS

Compressed spacing between words- needs to be close to others; likes crowds.

Average spacing between words- feels comfortable contact with others.

Wide spacing between words- avoids people contact; has problems dealing with others.

General level of intelligence can be determined by examining the small letters "m," "n," and "r." 

Someone with a "quick" mind will write these letters with sharp pointed tops. These writers are quick to comprehend and retain ideas. They are usually considered "smart."

The pointed top can be considered an indicator of "above average." (This can generally be confirmed by checking into level of education.)

Those who write The "m," "n," and "r" with a round top are slower methodical thinkers. These people can retain just as much knowledge as quick thinkers, but they tend to "think things over" before making decisions. They are not as likely to "jump to conclusions," and tend to be more creative.

The speed of the script reveals much about the writer. 

Fast writers can be spontaneous, impatient, ambitious, aggressive, negligent, quick thinkers, accident prone, etc. In a full evaluation of writing speed, many other traits must be examined to determine the correct meaning.

Average speed writers are slower thinkers. They can be cautious, creative, organized and so on. Other factors in the script will reveal to its full meaning.

Slow writers show lack of ambition and determination, they are often ostentatious or lack mental capacity.

A handwriting sample reveals who you are at the time of writing. Your mood effects how you write, and as your moods change, so does your script.

Other factors that alter handwriting include drugs, physical illness and preoccupation with unrelated thoughts as you write.

For the graphologist, the only real solution to handwriting variance is to obtain samples written over a extended period of time. This is the true way to get a true personality profile of the writer.

When my clients submit samples, they do it because they want to. They aren't under any pressure. They are in the comfort and security of their own homes and, generally, relaxed. These conditions are ideal, and the handwriting sample submited for analysis is usually a reflection of the writer's true self.
