Step 1
If the job you’re trying to fill requires that a person be outgoing, assertive and perhaps even a little flamboyant, there are certain writing traits that you should look for. An extrovert’s handwriting is likely to be large. He will use garlands (a sweeping gesture) to connect letters. His writing will be loser and more sprawling because of the use of garland connectors, much more so than an introvert, who writes tightly and doesn’t use connectors at all.
-
Step 2
An extrovert, who enjoys getting attention and is self-assertive, is apt to write flamboyantly and uses greater pressure when writing, which is evident in his penmanship. He will make large “I’s” when referring to himself.
-
Step 3
A social and friendly person is likely to have round rather than angular writing. A forward thinking person, who has vision and is expressive, will have a right slant to his writing. Someone who is less out-going and more diplomatic and suppresses real emotion will have more of a vertical slant whereas someone who represses emotion and is negative, fearful and stuck in the past is apt to have left slanting handwriting.
-
Step 4
if you're afraid that the applicant might be too shy and retiring for the position, even thought these personality traits weren't entirely evident during the interview, check her handwriting for the following characteristics. An introvert will have small handwriting and her penmanship may be simple and unpretentious. She uses little pressure when she's writing so her letters will be light. Her "I's" will be little, the opposite from an extrovert.
-
Step 5
If the introvert tends to hold back, her writing will have a leftward slant. If a person is is narrow-minded his handwriting will be tight and squeezed together. If the slant to the person’s writing is extremely vertical that is associated with control and formality.
