Signature

• Decorative Signature A deliberate attempt made
  to adorn the signature speaks of a flashy person
  who is egotistic and expresses himself in a
  dramatic manner.Undistinguished Signature If
  the signature is just like the person's normal
  handwriting. It shows that the person is
  straightforward, down-to-earth and without any
  pretensions.Illegible Signature If the normal
  handwriting is clear and the signature is
  consciously illegible, the person may be
  apprehensive and want to camouflage his true
  personality and feelings.

25
Signature

• Small Signature When the signature is kept
  short, though the name may be lengthy, the writer
  is reserved and humble, but will come straight to
  the point. When the signature is distinctly
  smaller than the normal handwriting, it shows the
  person may not realize his worth and may be
  humble and timid, or could be suffering from
  anxiety, depression or other emotional
  problems.Large Signature When the signature is
  very large, though the name may be small, the
  writer is egoistic and ambitious and loves to
  socialize. When the signature is distinctly
  larger than the normal handwriting, it shows the
  person has willpower and confidence. If it is
  very much larger, the person could be a show-off
  and not someone very reliable.

26
Signature

• Expanded Signature The person whose signature
  goes across the page seeks to attract attention
  at any cost. If the normal handwriting is also
  very large, the tendency is more
  pronounced.Dissected Signature In this case
  the signature will have a stroke on it, either
  horizontal, vertical, partial or complete. It
  shows that the person wants to cancel out his own
  being. The writer may be dissatisfied with
  society, depressed or in extreme cases even
  suicidal.Encircled Signature The circle around
  a signature, partial or complete, has two
  meanings. The writer may be protective about his
  near and dear ones or may be fearful of the
  environment. The circle is like a protective
  shield.Abbreviated Signature The person who
  signs his first name only may be self-centered.
  This applies to signatures on important documents
  only and not personal letters or greetings.

  handwriting analyst, it paints a picture of the
  person "behind the pen."

37
Things that differ

• Slope
• Speed
• Pressure
• Letter and word spacing
• Relative dimensions of letters
• Connections of letter (or lack there of)
• Pen movement

38
The four primary expressive elements are the
baseline, the enclosure, the imposed structure,
and the stroke.

• 1. The Baseline
• The baseline is the imaginary line that letters
  rest on dividing upper and lower areas while
  moving forward to the right.
• The writing slant is defined as an angle formed
  by the baseline and a line segment generated from
  an upstroke above the baseline

39
BASELINEhttp//www.viewzone.com/handwriting.html
40
Emotional Control
41
Baseline Analysis
42
All together

• Emotional and physical energy (pressure applied
  when writing)
• Slant of writing ...\\\.....lll.../// (indicates
  what the writer does with this emotional and
  physical energy)
• Emotional control and emotional reliability
  (baseline)
• Ability to concentrate (size of writing)

43
////SLANT\\\\

• 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. Show feelings easily.
• A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep
  their emotions in check-- mind rules their heart.
  
• A left slant writer (\\\\) will conceal their
  emotions (shy) and is observed as cold and
  indifferent.

44
The SLANT of the writing indicates the Emotional
Response. Letter slant can best be seen in
letters containing upper loops the b, d, h, 1,
k, and t. The more the letter slant leans toward
the right, the more emotional response can be
expected.

• Garrulous annoyingly talkative

2. ENCLOSURE

• An enclosure is formed when a line or lines
  border an area.
• An enclosure represents imagination, concept
  enlargement, and idea expansion.
• There are three basic forms of enclosures- the
  loop, the circle, and the stem.

48
3. Imposed written structures

• The imposed written structures control
  conventional order.
• The stem is an imposed structure or taught
  pattern and represents relative learned standards
  for behavior.
• A stem is formed by an enclosure that is taught
  to be restrictive.
• Learned retraced closed loops of the letters t,
  d, p, and i are stems.

49
4. The Stroke

• The stroke depicts life force, energy flow.
• The stroke's pressure represents intellectual
  vitality, physiological energy, sexual passion,
  and emotional intensity.
• Pressure is defined by how much force you apply
  to the writing surface with the writing
  instrument and not the hand grip pressure.
• Pressure is how hard you press down on the paper.
  
• Pressure indicates the capacity for vigorous
  activities

50
Under Pressure

• Emotional energy is a combination of the
  physical and mental energy level.
• 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.

CONCENTRATIONsmall writing

• focuses attention on one activity ignoring all

  writing.

  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.

58
Average size writing

• 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.

65
VANITYtall t, d-stem height

• Excessively high regard of ones conduct
  demonstrated through a sense of superiority

66
LARGE LETTERS

• Just make sure you're not so focused on being the
  center of attention that you miss out on what
  your colleagues have to say. Loner jobs aren't
  ideal for you, and you're better off in a lively
  environment where there is a good amount of face
  to face interaction

67
Small Script

• introverted and socially reclusive
• However, small scripters are also known to be
  very detail-oriented and methodical
• workposition where research is an important
  aspect of the job, like newspaper journalism or
  pharmaceuticals.
• You just might find that you have a knack for
  digging through sources to find the right
  information and your little letters will help you
  to squeeze a lot of information into a small
  space.

68
Downward-slanting letters

• What it may say about you If your letters lean
  down, this may sometimes appear as though your
  words are connected to depression, pessimism and
  an unpleasant disposition or plain tired.

69
Upward-slanting letters

• If you find yourself writing on paper without
  lines and the letters slant up then you are a
  positive person and have confidence to get you
  through difficult situations and you are
  generally optimistic

70
Dark, bold strokes

• What it may say about you Those who use a heavy
  hand and a good amount of pressure when writing
  are often thought to be people who are not afraid
  of commitment
• Being able to take on commitment and owning the
  space (and the pages!) around you is certainly a
  positive attribute, especially in a field like
  consulting or banking.
• However, if your handwriting shows excessive
  pressure, then it might be a sign of aggression
  and a quick temper.
• In addition, you could be causing unnecessary
  physical stress to your hand and wrist

71
Faint, light strokes

• What it may say about you Most of the time,
  writing without too much pressure on the page
  displays an easy going nature and a level of
  sensitivity towards others a great trait in
  multifaceted industries like travel.
• But write too lightly and you run the risk of
  showing no confidence or liveliness at all, and
  nobody wants to hire an employee who doesn't have
  at least a little pep in their step and ownership
  of their words!

72
Squished words and cramped sentences

• What it may say about you The way your words
  bunch together can often be a direct translation
  to how you create your personal relationships.
• If you write with little or no space between
  words, you may be a person who likes little or no
  space when it comes to people.
• The positive aspect of this could be that you are
  a social person who enjoys the company of others,
  which works wonders in an educational career or
  in recreation.
• However, leaving too little space between you and
  your colleagues might lead some to think of you
  as intrusive, so be sure to find a balance.

73
Words and sentences that are extremely spaced out

• What is may say about you If you prefer to be
  alone or feel the need to have your own space at
  all times, look to see if your written words and
  letters reflect this by being far away from one
  another.
• Everyone needs space from time to time, but make
  sure that you are not sending yourself and your
  message to outer space while everyone else is
  trying to get work done as a close-knit team.

74
Lines of writing

• Far apart isolated, detached, reserved
• Apart just enough that letters do not touch you
  enjoy social interactions and are talkative
• Close enough that letters touch organized

75
The I in capital letters?

• Larger than other capital letters indicates that
  you are a person with a high opinion of yourself.
  

76
Follow through??

• Somebody who crosses their 't' halfway doesn't
  follow through in life

77
Obsessions

• There are different things that can show
  obsession. People like Michael Jackson have
  phallic symbols in their handwriting. Usually
  that means an obsession with sex. These symbols
  could also appear in your writing if you're
  thinking about sex more than you usually do.

78
Messy vs. Neat Handwriting

• Messy handwriting can be a good thing. You could
  be very bright and very creative, but messy
  handwriting could mean you're thinking quickly
  because your brain is moving very fast.
• Perfectly neat handwriting is not necessarily
  a good thing. If someone's handwriting is too
  neat, they may not be able to be spontaneous

79
Round Letters

• "Extra-round-looking handwriting indicates when
  someone is almost too young and relaxed, or too
  easy-going.

80
Dotting the i

• If someone makes their periods or the dot on a
  lowercase 'i' big and thick and grinds them into
  the page, it means that they're resentful and
  can't move forward

81
Tiny vs. Large Handwriting

• When you write large, you feel free
• A person who likes to be seen will have writing
  that's noticeable and free.
• If you try and write really, really tiny, you
  need to focus more and block out the rest of the
  world.
• People who write this way are focused on their
  tasks and don't really notice what is going on
  around them

82
Do you follow the margin?

• A lot of behaviors can show rule-breaking. One
  that is pretty obvious shows up when you write on
  lined paper On the left-hand side, there is a
  vertical line -- that stands for society -- and
  when people write through that line on a
  normal-sized sheet of paper, choosing to
  disregard that line, it means rules in general
  aren't for them.

83
S.O.S

• Your o's and a's are your communication letters
• The clearer your o and a are, the more clearly
  you communicate
• If something is wrong with the shape of these
  letters, that means there is a problem with your
  communication. O.J. Simpson puts a slash through
  his o -- called a forked-tongue stroke -- the
  sign of a liar.
• Any little mark through your o's and a's means
  that something about your communicating isn't 100
  percent truthful.

84
Beware of a CON artist

• Over and over again, con artists will make some
  letters look like they could be another letter,
  and some numbers look like they're another
  number, to the point where one letter can be so
  ambiguous that you can't read it
• If you can't read their numbers, that's a sign
  of a con artist or an embezzler
• A very good con artist tries not to write very
  messy

85
Rage in your writing

• If you make angles -- very sharp angles -- in
  your writing, it means you feel tension.
• You can't relax when you make angles. If you put
  angled marks where they don't belong, it shows
  the tension you are feeling.
• Adolf Hitler has big checkmarks all over the
  place. That is extreme tension. A person writing
  with that number of angles is showing a lot of
  rage

86

• Some small angles especially in the middle zone
  aggression or defensiveness.
• Sharp spikes in upper and middle zone more
  aggression or defensiveness
• Stabbed i-dots, diacritics or sharp short
  t-strokes to the right of the t-stems
  irritability
• Long t-bars tapering towards the end - sarcasm
• Some rounded letters underlying softness
• Small to medium sized middle zone trying to be
  inconspicuous
• Large spaces between words and lines a desire
  to be left alone

87
G units

• The 'Felon's Claw' is when the cursive G ends
  with a frown, and the loop at the bottom looks
  like a claw.
• You will find G's like that in the handwriting of
  people who somehow keep doing things to mess up
  their lives.
• They don't believe they deserve good things
  happen to them. It can be women who find they
  always end up with the wrong men.
  Psychologically, it means they set themselves up
  for failure. Many convicted felons have that claw
  in their writing. If you do see the felon's claw,
  it doesn't mean the writer is a felon. If you
  find you have a felon's claw in your handwriting,
  however, it's time to think about what you're
  doing in your life to screw it up

88
Sample Writing 1

• The writer uses heavy pressure, pointing to a
  person with deep, long-lasting emotions. The
  right slant indicates the writer responds freely
  with these emotions (heart rules the mind). The
  writing is large and indicates that the writer
  has trouble concentrating on tedious tasks and is
  easily distracted. The baseline is only slightly
  wavy, revealing no inner emotional turmoil.
• This is a friendly outgoing person with a lot of
  energy. This person needs variety and lots of
  activity. The emotional stability of the baseline
  indicates s/he is reliable and dependable.

89
Sample Writing 2

• The writers pressure and size if writing is
  average, indicating s/he usually has enough
  energy to handle daily activities. Emotional
  response is slightly inhibited (vertical writing)
  indicating the head rules the heart. Average size
  of script shows the ability to concentrate on
  daily activities without being distracted too
  much by what's going on around him/her. The
  baseline is wavy indicating changeable moods-
  sometimes in a good mood, sometimes not. The wavy
  baseline is common in vertical writing because
  people who try to control their emotions have a
  certain amount of inner emotional turmoil.

90
Three Zones of Handwriting

• 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.
• Intellectual thinker-
• Day to day concerns.
• Physical and material drives.
