Graphology is the study of a person's character through
the medium of handwriting. The study of handwriting is based on a general style
of writing, the formation of letters, the alignment and space between words and
lines etc. Through this study, we can get an idea of a person's character,
mentality and attitude towards a particular field of profession, and much more.
Also read the techniques to study a person character here.
It works because handwriting is body language on the
page. It reflects all the character traits of the writer – their dreams,
foibles, intelligence. Everything that makes them who they are. And it is virtually impossible for anyone to
prevent their handwriting from revealing these secrets.
Finding out what someone is really like is impossible if
we only look at how they behave or what they say. We have to go deeper to find
the truth about them.
How much do you really know about yourself, your friends,
your lover, your children? Everything we
do says something about us. From the way we shake hands, to how we drive a car.
But many of our actions are designed to conceal our true nature, to hide what
we actually think and feel.
HOW
DOES GRAPHOLOGY WORK ?
The principles of graphology are very simple. Everything
on a page of handwriting – or missing from it – says something about the
writer. It is like a jigsaw where all the pieces fit together but have a hidden
message as well as a revealed image.
Many of the deductions made in handwriting analysis are
really commonsense. Think about how people behave at a party. Some people love
the beat of music and spend most of their time dancing, enjoying the attention
their actions attract. Others prefer to find somewhere quiet and talk with
friends. We make judgements of character from this behaviour.
We could make similar judgements by looking at their
handwriting. The showy, affectionate, active person will have large, flamboyant
writing which demands your attention. The quieter, more reflective soul will
have smaller, probably neater and more controlled writing, with pointers to a
slightly less exhibitionist personality.
Two of the most
common things people say about handwriting are:
‘I have two different styles of writing’, and
‘I can’t read anything my doctor writes!’
Let us examine the first statement. It is true that some
people have styles of writing which appear, on first sight, to be different.
However closer examination usually reveals that the key character indicators
are the same in both samples. The changes are merely cosmetic. Professionally
trained handwriting analysts identify the character even if the writings appear
to change.
The next statement is on the doctors writing. It does
seem to be true that many doctors have a particularly illegible script. There
are two reasons for this. The first is doctors are usually under a lot of
pressure and are carrying out the task as quickly as possible. Writing in a
hurry leads to neglected letter forms.
The second point is that, illegible writing is
subconsciously deliberate. The writer does not want everyone to be able to read
it. Why? Well doctors, like lawyers and some other professionals, are in the
secrets business. Part of their job involves knowing things but not letting on.
This requirement has crept into their writing style.
Graphology theory and history
A person's handwriting - the script - and its placing on
the page express the unique impulses of the individual: logically, the brain
sends signals along the muscles to the writing implement they control. By
examining a handwriting sample, an expert graphologist is able to identify
relevant features of the handwritten script, and the way the features interact.
The features, and interaction between them, provide the information for the
analysis. (No single handwriting sample will exhibit all 300 different features
of course - a typical analysis will involve far less).
No single handwriting feature proves anything specific or
absolute by itself; a single feature alone can only identify a trend. It is the
combination of features, and the interaction between them that enable a full
and clear interpretation.
Graphology is actually a very old and respected science -
the study of handwriting and its analysis was first developed by the Chinese
3,000 years ago. The Romans used graphology, and through the centuries since
then various civilisations and cultures have analysed handwriting to identify
the essence of the person who produced it.
The modern approach to handwriting analysis was
established by a group of French clerics, led by Abbe Michon, who defined key
aspects of the science in the 1870s, after 30 years of study. This work formed
the basis of modern graphology, although the science is still being researched
and expanded today.
Professional graphologists operate to a strict code of
ethics, and these experts are constantly in demand; those who use it recognise
its value in the workplace as an additional method of understanding character.
It is therefore an extremely useful tool in identifying the quality and
capacity of an individual's talents and potential, particularly in career
guidance and improving relationships. Like other powerful behavioural or
intuitive models, it is not easy to explain how and why graphology works,
nevertheless it continues to be used, respected and appreciated by many because
it achieves a high level of results.
