Journal 3-Writing style

  
Writing Style
 

Even though we live in technological era, we still use hand writing depending on the situations or need. Every single person has his own writing style so that unique writing style must give something about the writer. I always wandered the saying and researches about this issue. The study of hand writing style is called Graphology. It is suggested that there are 300 features about writing styles that is what kind of hand writing represents what kind of person you are or what kind of characteristics you have. I believe you are interested about your handwriting and features, also whether it does match or not. Let’s, have a look at them then.

Slant:
Right slant indicates a response to communication such as wish to be friendly, manipulative, responsive, and intrusive, to be loving, supportive. Yet, left slant shows emotion and reverse. The writer needs to be true to self first and foremost and can be resentful if others try to push for more commitment from them.
If the hand writing is generally upright, this indicates independence.
Size:
There are three cases: middle, upper, and lower.  A full height is 9mm so more than this is large, and less than this is small.
Large: extravert and outgoing, or it can mean that the writer puts on an act of confidence.
Small: a thinker or an academic. If the hand writing is small and delicate, the writer is unlikely to be a good communicator and not that social people.
Pressure:
Heavy pressure indicates commitment and taking things seriously, but it is excessively heavy then he gets uptight at times and can react quickly to what they might see as criticism. He reacts first then asks questions.
Light pressure shows sensitivity to atmosphere and empathy to people, but can also, if the pressure is uneven, shows lack of  vivality.


Word spacing:
Wide: says “give me breathing space”
Narrow: a wish to be with others, but such writers may also crowd people and be intrusive, notably if the writing lacks elegance.
Upper zone: (l, t, h, etc)
Tall upper strokes are reaching towards goals and ambitions, or if they are very extended, there may be unrealistic expectations of what the person feels they must achieve.
If there are reasonably proportioned upper zone loops, this indicates someone who likes to think things through and use and use their imagination. Wider upper zone loops show more of a tendency to dream up ideas and mull them over.
If the up-stroke goes up and then returns on top of itself , he may be squeezing out imagination and keeping to the basic requirement of getting down to the job in hand.

Lower zone: (g, y, p etc.)
A straight stroke shows impatience to get the job done.
A “cradle” lower stroke suggests an avoidance of aggression and confrontation.
A full loop with heavy pressure indicates energy/money-making/sensuality.
If there are many and varied shapes in the lower zone, the writer may feel unsettled and unfocused emotionally.
I appreciate all this findings. They are really making you realize yourself. Actually, most of the features fit in to my personality features. Also, I looked at my friends’ hand writing. If I will her or him their characteristics I believe they will accept all these findings as true and unique even most of the findings fit to mine. Anyways, it still is interesting to have knowledge about this kind of findings. I liked this very much and had fun. I strongly suggest all my friends to read and have knowledge about you. 


What about other kinds of writing style? I mean how it is interperted in other languages? Surely, they must have their meanings as well. We will handle them for the next time hopefully....


Thanks  a lot...
