Psychology of handwriting

Nowadays we do not have a lot of opportunities to write something not by computer but by hand. However, to write a letter or a postcard on real paper with real pencil could be delightful. Moreover, handwriting of a particular person can tell us about him or her more than we could ever expect.
There are a few simple traits in handwriting which can easily show some specific psychological features of a person. For example, the directions - height, right side or left side – show what personality is in general. If a person writes at the top of the sheet he or she is of “a free soul”, has a well developed imagination and considers the sky as the greatest symbol of spirit. On the contrary, if a person writes at the bottom of a sheet, he or she is rational, concrete and reliable. The sides of a sheet are related with the time. If the text is written on the left side then the person thinks about the past and the right side shows thoughts about the future. The sheet of paper can be lined. In such situation each person has his or her own position where he or she will write. This shows whether a person likes to conform to other people’s standards. Non-conformist people write away from the lines.
Another important feature of handwriting is size. The larger the handwriting is, the more outgoing the person is. If the handwriting is middle-sized, it shows that feelings of a person often change. Handwriting can also be totally vertical or lean to the left or the right. If a person’s handwriting leans to the right it means that the person is more expressive and if it leans to the left it represents the opposite person who hides his feelings. Vertical writing shows that a person can vary to either side depending on the mood and the situation.
To tell the truth, there are a lot of different symbols and handwriting features which can tell a lot about a person, and there are many books and studies on this topic, because the handwriting is a part of a person’s identity – no one else has the same handwriting like yours.
