We have all learned what it is to read and write since we were children in school. It is evident, since otherwise we could not be in this vast world of the internet. Since we are children, we are taught the importance of correct communication, and how words, orally or in writing, are the most important means to achieve it, since they are the easiest to understand.
Even though all of us in her moment we have learned to read and write, not all of us do it the same. There are people who read faster and more fluently than others, and in turn there are people who are capable of writing faster than others, others who are capable of running when others find it difficult and prefer to use print.
But no matter how well, how badly, how fast or how slow you write, according to graphology your personality can be read like an open book based on what your words denote; so you don't just communicate what you try to say by writing, but for a graphologist you will be communicating the deepest parts of your personality. In this post we will learn what your writing means and how you can identify these patterns.
Let's first define what graphology is
It is taken as a pseudoscience, in which its defenders affirm that the personality of an individual can be known, the implications that are part of his character, who can recognize characteristics of the mental balance of this person, in addition to their emotions, their abilities, the types of intelligence that he handles best and basically everything with respect to that individual by means of a thorough examination of his handwriting. Even, according to some graphologists, this could be used to diagnose mental illnesses, because through this method they can know how the mental state of someone is.
How graphology works
Graphology is a mix between the arts and sciences. It is known as a science because it is capable of measuring the movement and structure of written forms; the inclination, the angles of the letters, the spaces that are left, and finally, a multitude of things that are calculated with the greatest possible precision.
And it is called an art because graphologists must keep abreast and be able to connect with shapes, and keep the mind in the total context of what is being done, as if admiring or studying a painting.
Writing has three key parts: movement, shape, and spacing. The graphologists study the smallest variations that can occur in each of these aspects and assign psychological interpretations to them. Expert graphologists can achieve a high level of success each time they use this method.
What it brings us
This technique or science is widely used in Spain, and in France its use is much greater, since it is estimated that between 50 and 75% of companies have become regular users. In 1991 it was estimated that about 90% of French companies used information obtained through writing.
The uses of this science
Although appearances may be difficult for us to determine, or we consider this practice little more than a scam, there is one thing that can be said for sure: Writing never lies. Handwriting reveals how the writer can think, feel and behave.
That is why forms of writing change so significantly from one person to another; because not all have the same personality, and this is recorded in the way it moves and moves through the paper. It shows us the motivations that lie behind the actions, and it tells us if a subject may be predisposed to behave in ways that we would not think by looking at their appearance.
Graphology does not only tell us about behavior, but also gives us a perspective of the subject's subconscious, providing us with information that we would not have been able to discover otherwise and in such a short time. These quick and valuable analyzes are part of what makes graphology a practical science in many areas.
It can be used in various areas to show whether or not an individual is fit for a position. In the administration it can be used in:
- Recruitment: The skills of a graphologist are invaluable in this area, because by looking at the individual's handwriting and signature, he or she may be able to choose the best staff.
- Security review: Someone's lyrics and writing can tell us a lot about their honesty and integrity.
- Family and children's guide: The writing at a certain moment can tell us if a child is going through a problem or a condition that he does not want to mention.
- Review of faculties and mental state: People who are afflicted by certain mental disorders can also manifest them in their way of writing.
How is a writing analyzed?
In order to organize the writing so that you can analyze it efficiently, you must be aware of the shape, movement and angles of it, as well as the spacing that exists between one word and another. All these factors can give you a pretty good idea of what a person is feeling, thinking, wanting or doing.
Slopes of this science
Graphology currently has a wide professional spectrum, as it can be used in different aspects.
- General graphology: Refers to the study of personality through writing.
- Graphology for selection and management of human resources: This is the method most used by companies that want to put the right person in the right position. Basing your places on the way they write generally works and allows them to be more productive.
- Pedagogical graphology: It involves the interpretation of children's writing and drawings, in order to recognize early behaviors that can be harmful or that can be encouraged.
- Historical studies: The studies of graphologists have been able to clarify a little about the personalities of those historical figures who died centuries before carrying out the tests. Their writing has given us insight into how they thought in ancient times.
Some characteristics to take into account when analyzing a writing
There are variables in writing whose meanings are shared by most graphologists. Now we will see some meanings that will allow you to know some characteristics in the writing of your friends.
Mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
There are people who mix capital letters with lowercase letters, more than is strictly necessary for them to have a correct spelling. This speaks of a tendency towards dishonesty and disloyalty.. However, graphologists must delve more deeply into the rest of the characteristics in order not to find a confrontation between other characteristics.
About Rise of the middle zone
When we refer to the middle zone, we refer to those parts that are framed between the upper and lower limits of a writing oval. For example the letter "o"; the oval that exists in the letter "P", "g", "d" and "q". This uprising tells us about conceited and arrogant people, who feel superior to others and also leave it reflected in the way they write. (A curious fact is that the current president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has a signature that presents a clear on the uprising of the middle zone)
Dissociation
This characteristic occurs in the letters "p", "d" and "b"; and it appears as a separation of the oval of the letter of the stick of the same one, causing that one is separated from the other and they seem two totally different letters, although it is not thus. This particular characteristic speaks to us of a personal conflict of the person's self.
It is typical of people with mental disorders such as schizophrenia or dissociative personality. However, in people who are not afflicted by mental disorders, it can talk about problems of personal conflicts.
The enveloping rubric
This is because, when signing, people usually end their signature by wrapping it, or putting it inside a circle as a finishing touch. This is known as an enveloping rubric, and it usually means that the person likes to be cared for, and feels protected within the family. In some cases they categorize it as a manifestation of a feeling of inferiority.
