It is not difficult to determine the character of any person by handwriting. The manner of writing speaks about temperament and even mood. There are books and textbooks on forensics that describe different types of handwriting with a detailed description of the person to whom it belongs.
When applying for a job, employers also pay attention to your letter. It is easy to determine the inner world of the applicant.
You can determine the compatibility of people by handwriting. Is your soulmate right for you?
A lot of information about a person's character is given by his writing style. Below we will show this with an example.
Method for determining character by handwriting
To correctly determine a person’s character, you need to take two or three sheets of the text he wrote. As a rule, the first sheet is written more diligently. The following sheets will be written in natural handwriting and will make it possible not to make mistakes in determining a person’s character.
It is best to take the last sheets of handwritten text. They can be used to identify a person with greater confidence.
The very piece of paper on which you study handwriting can also say a lot about the owner of the letter.
Writing paper size
- A small, sloppy piece of paper with dirty spots on the paper indicates that the person is a slob, a greedy person or a bungler.
- A large sheet of clean, neat paper speaks of a person’s wastefulness or generosity.
Subject's age
It is difficult to determine the character of a child who has just begun to write. His character is easier to determine from his drawings.
An elderly person, due to his age and physical condition, may also write in a handwriting that is not natural to him.
The best way to determine a person's character by handwriting is between the ages of twenty and fifty.
What mistakes are made when writing?
Before you start improving your writing skill, you need to understand your own mistakes.
- High energy consumption. The most common problem is excessive stress while writing. You may be holding the writing instrument incorrectly, sitting awkwardly, or turning the paper incorrectly. In this regard, you forget about the beauty of your handwriting, as you become very tired of the process. You need to learn to relax.
- Writing too fast . Most likely, your handwriting has deteriorated because you write too quickly and do not pay attention to the beauty of the writing. You need to practice doing this slowly, clearly displaying all the symbols.
- Problems in individual characters. Sometimes errors occur when writing several letters or numbers. Evaluate any text you write with fresh eyes and see what you need to pay attention to.

Personality and signature
In most cases, a person’s signature and writing style are individual and different from others. They carry information about personally-identifiable characteristics belonging to a specific person. They are used for personal identification and character recognition. Handwriting examination also helps to find out the following facts: in what state the person signed, under pressure from others or of his own free will, in non-standard conditions or in normal circumstances, with his real handwriting or an altered writing style. During the procedure, experts study samples of a person's handwriting and signature, paying special attention to the pace of writing, the shape of letters, direction and slope, pressure and elaboration of lines. Transcription and coherence of handwriting are of great importance in identifying the person on whose behalf the documents were allegedly signed.
Particular features of handwriting
Particular features of handwriting are characteristics that appear when performing specific movements when writing individual characters, elements and parts of elements.
Complexity of movements (structure) when performing letters
This feature is included in the set of identification features only in cases where elements of written signs and signs are performed in general or with simplified or complicated movements, i.e. in cases of execution of letters and their elements with deviations from the established generally accepted copybooks.
The complexity of movements when performing letters is: simple, simplified and complicated.
Form of movements when performing and connecting written characters and their elements
The form of movements when performing and connecting written signs and their elements, as already noted, can be rectilinear and curvilinear. Rectilinear movements along a trajectory can be combined to form angles, triangles and broken lines.
Curvilinear movements along a trajectory are divided into tortuous, circles, ovals, arcs, loops.
The form of movements when writing lowercase, subscript and superscript elements of written characters, made in accordance with the recipes with straight-line movements, can be changed to angular, arcuate, sinuous, semi-oval, oval.
In the expert’s conclusion, the researcher is obliged not only to note the coincidence or difference of this feature in the compared handwritings, but also to decipher what particular form of movement was displayed when executing and connecting written characters. For example, the shape of the movements when performing: the upper part of the letter “o” is angular; the superscript element of the letter “and” is looped; the final part of the second element of the letter “I” is rectilinear; additional element of the letter “t” - sinuous; the form of movements when connecting the letters “in” is arcuate, etc.
Direction of movements when performing written signs and their elements
An expert should always analyze this particular feature of handwriting taking into account the form of movements when performing certain elements.
Length of movements when performing written signs and their elements
This particular feature of handwriting is used to characterize the dimensional features of movement when executing letters and elements. For example: “... matches were established based on the following particular features of handwriting... the length of movements when performing:
a) vertically, the letters “z” are larger than other letters, the letters “o” are smaller than other letters, the subscript element of the letter “d” is 2 times larger than the lowercase element;
b) horizontally along the superscript additional element of the letter “t” - 2 times less than the width of the letter...”, etc.
The degree of coherence (continuity) or type of connection of movements when performing written signs and their elements
Depending on in which plane - only horizontal or horizontal with subsequent transfer of the hand to a vertical plane (with the pen lifted from the sheet of paper) - movements are performed when forming letters and their elements, two types of connections are distinguished: continuous and interval.
Number of movements when performing written signs and their elements
The sign under consideration has identification value only if the written sign is performed with more or less movements in comparison with existing standard copybooks.
Sequence of movements when performing elements in written characters
This particular sign of handwriting acquires identification significance only when the sequence of execution of the elements is disrupted in comparison with the provided standard copybooks.
Relative placement of movements
The relative placement of movements is considered in relation to the starting and ending points, points of connection and intersection of movements when performing written signs and their elements. These movement placements are analyzed in relation to the writing line, other elements and written characters.
