Undistinguished Signature: If the signature is just like the person's normal handwriting. It shows that the person is straightforward, down-to-earth and without any pretensions. Illegible Signature: If the normal handwriting is clear and the signature is consciously illegible, the person may be apprehensive and want to camouflage his true personality and feelings.

Signature Small Signature: When the signature is kept short, though the name may be lengthy, the writer is reserved and humble, but will come straight to the point. When the signature is distinctly smaller than the normal handwriting, it shows the person may not realize his worth and may be humble and timid, or could be suffering from anxiety, depression or other emotional problems. Large Signature: When the signature is very large, though the name may be small, the writer is egoistic and ambitious and loves to socialize. When the signature is distinctly larger than the normal handwriting, it shows the person has willpower and confidence. If it is very much larger, the person could be a show-off and not someone very reliable.

Signature Expanded Signature: The person whose signature goes across the page seeks to attract attention at any cost. If the normal handwriting is also very large, the tendency is more pronounced. Dissected Signature: In this case the signature will have a stroke on it, either horizontal, vertical, partial or complete. It shows that the person wants to cancel out his own being. The writer may be dissatisfied with society, depressed or in extreme cases even suicidal. Encircled Signature: The circle around a signature, partial or complete, has two meanings. The writer may be protective about his near and dear ones or may be fearful of the environment. The circle is like a protective shield.

BASELINE http: //www. viewzone. com/handwriting. html

Emotional Control

Baseline Analysis

All together • Emotional and physical energy (pressure applied when writing) • Slant of writing. . . \. . . lll. . . /// (indicates what the writer does with this emotional and physical energy) • Emotional control and emotional reliability (baseline) • Ability to concentrate (size of writing)

////SLANT\\ The slant is the second indicator to look for. The slant indicates the writers emotional response to external forces. A right slant (////) signals one who responds strongly to emotional situations. They are caring, warm and outgoing-- their heart rules their mind. Show feelings easily. A vertical slant (llll) writer tries to keep their emotions in check-- mind rules their heart. A left slant writer (\\) will conceal their emotions (shy) and is observed as cold and indifferent.

The SLANT of the writing indicates the Emotional Response. Letter slant can best be seen in letters containing upper loops: the b, d, h, 1, k, and t. The more the letter slant leans toward the right, the more emotional response can be expected. • Garrulous= annoyingly talkative

2. ENCLOSURE • An enclosure is formed when a line or lines border an area. • An enclosure represents imagination, concept enlargement, and idea expansion. • There are three basic forms of enclosuresthe loop, the circle, and the stem.

3. Imposed written structures • The imposed written structures control conventional order. • The stem is an imposed structure or taught pattern and represents relative learned standards for behavior. • A stem is formed by an enclosure that is taught to be restrictive. • Learned retraced closed loops of the letters t, d, p, and i are stems.

4. The Stroke • The stroke depicts life force, energy flow. • The stroke's pressure represents intellectual vitality, physiological energy, sexual passion, and emotional intensity. • Pressure is defined by how much force you apply to the writing surface with the writing instrument and not the hand grip pressure. • Pressure is how hard you press down on the paper. • Pressure indicates the capacity for vigorous activities

Under Pressure • • • Emotional energy is a combination of the physical and mental energy level. Writers with heavy pressure are usually highly successful. They have a lot of vitality and their emotional experiences last for a long time. Writers who write with average pressure are usually moderately successful and usually have enough energy to make it through the day. Those with light pressure try to avoid energy draining situations.

BLUNT increasingly heavy downward and forward middle final brings matters to a conclusion and thrusts it upon others

BROADMINDED wide e-loop liberal self-viewpoints, free of bigotry

CONCENTRATION small writing focuses attention on one activity ignoring all other influences

These writers include scientists, researchers, bookkeepers, etc. • People who write small like to work alone.

REBELLIOUS inflated triangular forward inverted upper circle open hostility towards authority and for any form of discipline, belligerent

VANITY tall t, d-stem height Excessively high regard of ones conduct demonstrated through a sense of superiority

LARGE LETTERS • Just make sure you're not so focused on being the center of attention that you miss out on what your colleagues have to say. Loner jobs aren't ideal for you, and you're better off in a lively environment where there is a good amount of face to face interaction

Small Script introverted and socially reclusive However, small scripters are also known to be very detail-oriented and methodical work=position where research is an important aspect of the job, like newspaper journalism or pharmaceuticals. You just might find that you have a knack for digging through sources to find the right information and your little letters will help you to squeeze a lot of information into a small space.

Downward-slanting letters • What it may say about you: If your letters lean down, this may sometimes appear as though your words are connected to depression, pessimism and an unpleasant disposition or plain tired.

Upward-slanting letters • If you find yourself writing on paper without lines and the letters slant up then you are a positive person and have confidence to get you through difficult situations and you are generally optimistic

Dark, bold strokes • What it may say about you: Those who use a heavy hand a good amount of pressure when writing are often thought to be people who are not afraid of commitment • Being able to take on commitment and owning the space (and the pages!) around you is certainly a positive attribute, especially in a field like consulting or banking. • However, if your handwriting shows excessive pressure, then it might be a sign of aggression and a quick temper. • In addition, you could be causing unnecessary physical stress to your hand wrist

Faint, light strokes • What it may say about you: Most of the time, writing without too much pressure on the page displays an easy going nature and a level of sensitivity towards others a great trait in multifaceted industries like travel. • But write too lightly and you run the risk of showing no confidence or liveliness at all, and nobody wants to hire an employee who doesn't have at least a little pep in their step and ownership of their words!

Squished words and cramped sentences • What it may say about you: The way your words bunch together can often be a direct translation to how you create your personal relationships. • If you write with little or no space between words, you may be a person who likes little or no space when it comes to people. • The positive aspect of this could be that you are a social person who enjoys the company of others, which works wonders in an educational career or in recreation. • However, leaving too little space between you and your colleagues might lead some to think of you as intrusive, so be sure to find a balance.

Words and sentences that are extremely spaced out What is may say about you: If you prefer to be alone or feel the need to have your own space at all times, look to see if your written words and letters reflect this by being far away from one another. • Everyone needs space from time to time, but make sure that you are not sending yourself and your message to outer space while everyone else is trying to get work done as a close-knit team.

Lines of writing • Far apart= isolated, detached, reserved • Apart just enough that letters do not touch: you enjoy social interactions and are talkative • Close enough that letters touch: organized

The “I” in capital letters? • Larger than other capital letters= indicates that you are a person with a high opinion of yourself.

Follow through? ? Somebody who crosses their 't' halfway doesn't follow through in life

Obsessions There are different things that can show obsession. People like Michael Jackson have phallic symbols in their handwriting. Usually that means an obsession with sex. These symbols could also appear in your writing if you're thinking about sex more than you usually do.

Messy vs. Neat Handwriting Messy handwriting can be a good thing. You could be very bright and very creative, but messy handwriting could mean you're thinking quickly because your brain is moving very fast. Perfectly neat handwriting is not necessarily a good thing. If someone's handwriting is too neat, they may not be able to be spontaneous

Round Letters "Extra-round-looking handwriting indicates when someone is almost too young and relaxed, or too easy-going.

Dotting the i If someone makes their periods or the dot on a lowercase 'i' big and thick and grinds them into the page, it means that they're resentful and can't move forward

Tiny vs. Large Handwriting • When you write large, you feel free • A person who likes to be seen will have writing that's noticeable and free. • If you try and write really, really tiny, you need to focus more and block out the rest of the world. • People who write this way are focused on their tasks and don't really notice what is going on around them

Do you follow the margin? A lot of behaviors can show rule-breaking. One that is pretty obvious shows up when you write on lined paper: On the left-hand side, there is a vertical line -- that stands for society -- and when people write through that line on a normal-sized sheet of paper, choosing to disregard that line, it means rules in general aren't for them.

S. O. S • Your o's and a's are your communication letters • The clearer your o and a are, the more clearly you communicate • If something is wrong with the shape of these letters, that means there is a problem with your communication. O. J. Simpson puts a slash through his o -- called a forked-tongue stroke -the sign of a liar. • Any little mark through your o's and a's means that something about your communicating isn't 100 percent truthful.

Beware of a CON artist • Over and over again, con artists will make some letters look like they could be another letter, and some numbers look like they're another number, to the point where one letter can be so ambiguous that you can't read it • If you can't read their numbers, that's a sign of a con artist or an embezzler • A very good con artist tries not to write very messy

Rage in your writing • If you make angles -- very sharp angles -- in your writing, it means you feel tension. • You can't relax when you make angles. If you put angled marks where they don't belong, it shows the tension you are feeling. • Adolf Hitler has big checkmarks all over the place. That is extreme tension. A person writing with that number of angles is showing a lot of rage

• Some small angles especially in the middle zone – aggression or defensiveness. • Sharp spikes in upper and middle zone – more aggression or defensiveness • Stabbed i-dots, diacritics or sharp short t-strokes to the right of the t-stems – irritability • Long t-bars tapering towards the end - sarcasm • Some rounded letters – underlying softness • Small to medium sized middle zone – trying to be inconspicuous • Large spaces between words and lines – a desire to be left alone

G units The 'Felon's Claw' is when the cursive G ends with a frown, and the loop at the bottom looks like a claw. You will find G's like that in the handwriting of people who somehow keep doing things to mess up their lives. They don't believe they deserve good things happen to them. It can be women who find they always end up with the wrong men. Psychologically, it means they set themselves up for failure. Many convicted felons have that claw in their writing. If you do see the felon's claw, it doesn't mean the writer is a felon. If you find you have a felon's claw in your handwriting, however, it's time to think about what you're doing in your life to screw it up

Sample Writing #1 • The writer uses heavy pressure, pointing to a person with deep, long-lasting emotions. The right slant indicates the writer responds freely with these emotions (heart rules the mind). The writing is large and indicates that the writer has trouble concentrating on tedious tasks and is easily distracted. The baseline is only slightly wavy, revealing no inner emotional turmoil. • This is a friendly outgoing person with a lot of energy. This person needs variety and lots of activity. The emotional stability of the baseline indicates s/he is reliable and dependable.

Sample Writing #2 The writers pressure and size if writing is average, indicating s/he usually has enough energy to handle daily activities. Emotional response is slightly inhibited (vertical writing) indicating the head rules the heart. Average size of script shows the ability to concentrate on daily activities without being distracted too much by what's going on around him/her. The baseline is wavy indicating changeable moods- sometimes in a good mood, sometimes not. The wavy baseline is common in vertical writing because people who try to control their emotions have a certain amount of inner emotional turmoil.

The upper zone indicates philosophical imagination. • The middle zone deals with the day to day aspects of life, like home, family, paying the bills, work and social concerns. The middle zone points to our approach to daily life. • The lower zone emphasizes physical and material drives such as physical abilities, sex drive, appetite, and the desire for material wealth.
