What does your writing say about you?

Ever thought that not only do your attitudes and words speak about who you really are? Several pseudosciences exist with the promise of unraveling your personality through signs other than just spoken or body language. From astrology, where your sign can predict some characteristics, to graphology, which is the study of personality through the way you write. Its most intimate particularities may be visible to those who understand a little of the subject.

Graphology is even used in some selection processes. Despite not having scientifically proven results, many companies take advantage of what their candidates have written to analyze them through handwriting. The question here is not whether your handwriting is beautiful or ugly, but the style it takes on in some detail.

Surprise? So how about a test to see if this pseudoscience really has the power to predict some of its characteristics? Take an unlined sheet of paper? as an A4 sheet for printing? and write in handwritten the following excerpt:

“Houses spy on men who run after women. Maybe the afternoon was blue, there weren't so many wishes? (Carlos Drummond de Andrade)

But write normally, the quiz won't work if you do a different letter or take longer than usual to write. Also worth signing at the end of the text. Now, based on what you wrote, check out some graphology analysis.

Text slant

Texts that seem to lie on the line may reflect your way of dealing with emotions. Tilting to the right indicates that you are an open and sociable person. If the trim is to the left, it may mean rebellion or shyness. If the angle of your text tends to be tighter, you are a practical person and are calmer about your emotions.

Font Size

The shape of your lyrics, including size, can tell you a lot about your practical life. Big letters denote great personality and extroversion. Small print, good attention span, maybe a shy and introspective person. And if your handwriting is medium in size, it may mean that you are very adaptable to the environment.

Letter with bows

The way you draw the letter loops, twists and turns like no? L? and no? e? is related to your ability to communicate. ? L? Ties Closed can mean tension, and open, a person who is easygoing and easy to communicate.

Already the letter? E? written by an open-minded person will probably be broad. The? E? Closed indicates a person who is not influenced by emotional reasons.

S curves

How is yours? looks like? If he is pointed up, you may be interested in learning and being on top of things. The sharper the? S?, The more ambitious you are.

Already the ones who do the? S? They are quieter people who don't like to get involved in conflicts and are great at promoting deals. Those who write the? S? like the shape, this one of the computer text, are versatile and flexible people like your own writing.

signature

The signature is perhaps the most expressive question about your personality, according to the graphology. Who underlines the signature will hardly be a person with low self-esteem. This simple detail demonstrates good self-confidence. Signatures with many strokes and other embellishments may, on the contrary, indicate insecurity.

What counts in writing

It is not just the format of some letters that express your way of being. The way you write a sentence or full text, the use of the paper surface, the margins left, all the details provide traces of your profile.

Experts recommend 5 rules to make your writing clearer, more harmonious and easier to read. If your texts are messy, start with these aspects:

1. Stroke Quality: Do you write too weak or too strong? A good way to realize this is to see how your writing appears in a copy. If there are points where reading is hampered by areas with very light stroke, try balancing this factor to make your writing better. Similarly, strokes that are too strong can cause you a wrist injury or even tear or mark the paper. Graphology indicates that strong writing can reveal determination.
2. Alignment: Phrases that seem to go up or down, with a line as a reference. Try to adjust your writing so that the space between the words and the line is as small and as even as possible. For unmarked papers, try to guide yourself through the beginning of the sheet or place a staff underneath.
3. Fit: It concerns the angle of the letters and words.Do you know those handwritings where words seem to lie to the right or left? Try adjusting your writing so that the text is at right angles to the line. Changing the position of the paper in front of you can help.
4. Spaces between letters and words: Very close together, the words get confused, very separate, the cohesion of your text can be compromised. The ideal spacing between letters is that of a small comma, while between words should be the space proportional to an uppercase letter.
5. Malformed letters: Almost everyone has at least one letter that comes out crooked or missing some part of formal writing. How one? that does not close or the scratch of the? t ?. When writing, pay attention to these defective letters and mark them to remember to be more careful when writing them.

Writing, like any manual activity, requires training. Nowadays, where writing has been reduced to computers and keyboards, we are unlearning to write. It is not uncommon for us to pick up a piece of paper and realize how long we have not written by hand, and that our handwriting tends to get worse the longer we spend away from pencil and paper.
