Handwriting: A Beginners Guide to Graphology

Like a candid photograph snapped in an unguarded moment, your handwriting can say more about you than you may think. No matter how you are taught to write at school, your handwriting will eventually take on your own personal style and become a unique guide to your character.

To many people, graphology is no more than a parlour game, on a level with palmistry or reading the tea-leaves. But some of our largest firms soft drinks firms, insurance companies, banks and even a fireworks manufacturing company among them-take it seriously enough to ask all applicants to apply in their own handwriting.

Everyone has his own style of writing, which to a graphologist bears the indelible stamp of his personality. It is the brain, after all, that controls the movement of the hand holding the pen. It is not surprising that the movement of the pen tends to match the emotions of the writer.
