.pdfA person's handwriting is as unique as their personality, and there's good reason to look for traces of their personality in their handwriting. Have you ever wanted to analyze handwriting? Here's how to start your lucrative career in graphology
Look at the pressure of the strokes. A high pressure means the person has a high Emotional Energy. People with a high Emotional Energy have a lot of enthusiasm for life and are often very successful. People with a low Emotional Energy find most situations draining and will try to avoid them.
Look at the size of the letters. Large letters mean the person is outgoing and extraverted; small letters mean the person is reclusive and introverted. There are many aspects to the size of writing and alone it doesn’t indicate many things. Size (and especially the relative size of letter parts) needs to be considered along with other factors. There are some simple indicators however. Small writing is generally a strong indicator of a detailed, technical personality. Large rounded and dominant central case letters indicate a friendly and sociable personality.
Look at the slope of the strokes. Is there a consistent slope to the letters and therefore the words in the sample? Check by drawing lines through the up and downward strokes. Backwards slopes indicate an introverted personality; forward slopes are extraverted. Upright strokes indicate a personality who is motivated by factors other than people, (i.e. neither extrovert nor introvert). The

PROCESS OF COMPARISON
A document examiner compares questioned handwriting or signatures side-by-side to the known standards. Handwriting attributes are examined both visually and microscopically. Everyone who looks at writing and signatures notices the most conspicuous features first, such as the slant of the writing and how the letters are formed. An examiner will look beyond the obvious features and study the subtle, inconspicuous aspects of the questioned signature or writing. By applying basic rules in document analysis, combined with experience observing thousands of letter formations and words, an expert examiner is able to determine if writing is genuine or is not.
A good analogy to handwriting identification taught to beginners is that you have been given a general description of a person. He is male, 30 years old, with dark hair and eyes, 170 pounds, 6 feet tall, with a scar on his forehead. He walks with a permanent limp and has a tattoo of a rose on his left arm. You must find this individual among a group of passengers who are coming off a plane at the airport. The first five characteristics are common; many men fit that general description. With the addition of the next three uncommon characteristics, the field narrows significantly. With all the traits combined, when you see this individual and your brain has processed the description, you will recognize him in the crowd. If the individual differed in weight by a few pounds or in age by a few years, that would not be significant. The general description could be off slightly without changing the identification. However, if one of the last three traits were missing, that would be significant and you may not have the right individual.
The analogy applies to handwriting. Some: writing features are common, and some handwriting characteristics are considered uncommon or even rare. The common features are referred to as class characteristics. These are writing attributes observed in a group of writers that are probably derived from a penmanship system they learned. The uncommon handwritten characteristics, known as individual characteristics, are considered distinctive, personal, or peculiar to the handwriting of one person. An experienced document examiner is able to recognize class characteristics and avoid identifying an individual's writing solely on the basis of these common handwriting features. If the writing is naturally executed, and a combination of similarities between the questioned material and known standards is significant and individual, the examiner renders an opinion that the questioned and known material were written by the same individual. If the questioned writing or signature contains a combination of significant dissimilarities or indications of forgery the examiner may proffer an opinion, of not genuine. In doing a comparison, an examiner studies characteristics, such as how letters are constructed, how they are connected, the beginning and ending strokes of letters, the relative height ratio of letters, the spacing between letters and words, the skill level, speed, size, and shading.
