How to Analyze Your Handwriting and Others

Handwriting analysis also known as graphology can tell a lot about a person. A few simple tips can tell some basic personality traits of others. All you need is a natural handwriting sample from anyone. It's best to use a sample that someone writes on their own and not for "analysis."

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
   Loopy handwriting

   *Loops* Loopy letters tend to be larger in scale. Loops tend to come from individuals that are very social and open in nature. Introverts and quiter individuals have less loops or no loops at all.

2. 
   Tight spacing

   *Spacing* The space in between letters correlate to the mindset of the individual. The more space between letters, the more open minded. The less space, the more closed minded.

3. *Size* The size of the letters define love and logic. The larger the letters the more loving and freindly the individual is. The smaller the letters the more consistent and self-motivated the individual is.

4. 
   Heavy handed

   *Force* The force of the pen on paper shows how the individual deals with situations. The heavy handed, bold letters show strength and strong decisions about situations. The light handed letters show an even keeled personality that goes with the flow.
