Things You'll Need:
- person's signature
-
Step 1
Study the writer's signature. Is it larger than the rest of his writing? If so, this indicates that the person has healthy self-confidence. If his signature is smaller than the rest of his writing that may indicate that he’s insecure. If the signature is exactly the same as the rest of his writing that means the person behaves the same way in private as he does in public.
-
Step 2
Analyze the slant of the writing. Does it slant to the right but his signature is vertical? This can indicate that the person is not what he appears to be. Vertical writers tend to be aloof, distant and difficult to know. If the opposite is true (his handwriting is vertical but his signature is right slanting) this suggests that the writer is friendly in public but cool at home.
-
Step 3
Try to decipher the signature. Is it impossible to make out? If so, this probably means that the person doesn’t want to communicate who she is. Is the text that he's written illegible but the signature legible? This could indicate that the writer doesn’t care about getting his message across; he only cares that you know whom he is.
-
Step 4
Check to see if the signature is underscored (with a line). If it is, that means the writer has healthy self-confidence but if the underscoring is extreme it means the opposite: the person lacks self worth. If the underscore is wavy or curved this means the writer is fun and lively. Once in awhile you’ll come across a signature that is over-scored (a line or slash mark drawn over the top of the name). This person is feeling defensive and protective of himself, according to graphologists.
-
Step 5
Look to see if the signature has been scored through (a slashing line) and/or nearly obliterated by an intense mark. When someone strikes out their name it means they want to self-destruct.Does the writer use overly big letters? She is seeking social prominence.
