What Does a Reverse Slant in Handwriting Mean?
Graphology is the scientific study of personality traits through handwriting analysis. Graphologists believe that people who share the same behavioral characteristics also share the same shapes and forms in their handwriting. Theoretically, graphologists believe that the same style of handwriting is taught to everyone in school and so variations in handwriting are due to personality characteristics.
