A person's handwriting can say a lot more than their actual written words can. You can tell a person's mood, motive and character by their handwriting. Follow these steps and you can learn to analyze the handwriting of greeting cards, letters, grocery lists and more.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look at how the letters connect. If they connect in a simple manner without using any unnecessary strokes then this is someone who thinks on his feet and sees the whole picture.

  2. Step 2

    Notice the size of the letters. If they're large with very little space in between them this person is friendly and likes to be around large groups of people. If the letters are small this person is very shy and likes to be around just one or two friends.

  3. Step 3

    Check out the slant of the letters. If they slant to the left this person is rebellious. If the letters slant to the right then he leans on other people for support. If the letters are straight up and down then she is genuine but very independent.

  4. Step 4

    Take notice of the length of the upper loops in the letters of the handwriting when you analyze it. Tall upper loops means he is all talk but no action. Short upper loops mean she is all about getting things done.

  5. Step 5

    Analyze the lower loops in the letters. If the lower loop is small, then this person says what he feels. If the lower loops are larger, than she is full of energy.

  6. Step 6

    Keep your distance if the handwriting slants in all different directions because this person is really stressed.

on 4/5/2008 The information mentioned in this article is somehow insufficient. If you want to have a thorough analysi that too by yourself, it is beeter to do a short graphology course, I found that the Beginners Diploma course in graphology offered by www.handwritinginstitute.com to be particulary useful. The course had no crap and was upto the point. And you know what, by learning graphology i did the analysis of all my friends and family members and i was dead accurate ! Happy analysing.
