Handwriting Analysis
Graphology is the name given to the general subject of
personality analysis based on handwriting analysis. Just as in
Psychology there are various schools of Psychology -
Behaviorist, Psychoanalytical, and so on - so too in Graphology.
Graphoanalysis is one such school and, from my experience, the
most scientifically oriented reliable field of Graphology.
Graphoanalysis is personality analysis based on handwriting
analysis of the slant, size, measurement, pressure, spacing, and
arrangement of letters and words on the page.
Graphoanalysis is used to analyze Latin lettering languages
usually written in cursive handwriting (letters joined
together). Printing can also provide information as to the
writer's personality. To a certain extent, an expert
Graphoanalyist can analyze handwriting in languages written in
letter forms other than Latin lettering.
Graphoanalyists are experts in handwriting analysis. The
International Graphoanalysis Society (IGAS) is the full name of
the school of Graphology to which the Graphoanalyist belongs.
A Quick Handwriting Analysis can be fun at a party or a get
together. The Graphoanalyst will usually convey to the people
whose handwriting is being analyzed the most outstanding
features of their handwriting.
A Free Analysis is sometimes given to wet your appetite for more
knowledge on the subject of graphology in general and
graphoanalysis in particular.
In depth handwriting analysis requires many hours of measurement
of letters and analysis of the combination of traits appearing
in the handwriting and is used for more serious purposes such as
determining a person's job qualifications. Graphoanalysts are
professionals who do this type of work.
Handwriting recognition by courts of law is a well known fact
today. In court cases handwriting analysis is used to determine
whether or not a signature on a document is valid.
Graphoanalysts who have specialized in recognizing forgeries are
called upon to give evidence in such cases and may have crucial
influence on the final decision.
