What Are Various Facets of Individual Handwriting?

Assess your handwriting to better understand your personality.

A great way to pinpoint certain personality traits is to analyze handwriting. While handwriting cannot prove the person's gender, age or race, it can point to some interesting personality facets.

Uses

Handwriting analysis is used in therapy to discover parts of personality that the patient didn't know existed. It's also used to unearth issues with children, such as lack of concentration or anger tendencies. It can even be used in law to prove forgery.

Slant

The slant of your handwriting can tell a lot about your emotions. Handwriting that slants to the right says that the person responds with strong emotion to situations. Generally, these people are warm and outgoing. Handwriting that slants to the left says that the person tends to conceal their emotions, sometimes coming off as indifferent and cold. Handwriting that doesn't slant but stays vertical says that the person tries to control their emotions.

Pressure

The amount of pressure that's used when writing can also tell certain things about personality. Heavy pressure indicates that the person is successful. Light pressure indicates that the person tries to avoid situations that could be emotionally draining.
