I am going to talk about psychology of handwriting. There are different ways how to know more about person, his character and personality without verbal communication; it is one’s body language, eyes movements and even handwriting.
First of all, it should be talked about what exactly handwriting can say about person. As psychologists of nonverbal behaviour suggest, handwriting say a lot about personality's traits, interpersonal communication, character and so forth. This idea can be explained by structure of personality which is composed not only of traits, minds but also of different styles of behaviour. What is more, A. Binet thought that one of the ways how to determine characters is handwriting analysis. After a lot of experiments he found correlations between handwriting and gender. A. Binet claimed that men’s handwriting is more original than women’s.
Secondly, very important thing in psychology of handwriting is graphology science. Graphologists suggest that it is possible to interpret character from such graphic signs as ascending handwriting which is associated with self - love and pride. Also, they say that handwriting composed of thin lines is saying that it is very shy person. Personality's strength is associated with a thick letter "t". What is very interesting that writing letters "a" and "o" roundly shows reserve and closure.
What is more, there are four symbolic directions where we can write: high, low, right and left. Since older times high side is related to positive thoughts, confidence. Low writing person often has a lack of self-confidence, moreover, that person is thinking negatively. Left side shows thinking about the past. Meanwhile, right side shows future intensions. There are some more features of handwriting. If person uses wide letters it shows rational intelligence, mental concentration, and scientific abilities. Narrow letters show instinctive intuition, even interest for politics, lack of deepening. Moreover, progressively reducing handwriting shows tendency to depression.
To sum up, it is important to mention that psychology of handwriting has many oppositions and it is still very difficult to prove its truths. Each day it is being developed and perhaps after some time it will be more evidence about the meaning of handwriting.http://www.jungleredwriters.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
