Letter Formations And What They Say About Your Personality
The formation of each letter tells me about the writer's characteristics and personality…positive or
negative. Graphology, or Handwriting Analysis, is a science like any other study of the human
condition. The analysis of the strokes of a letter by a certified Graphologist reveals very specific
traits in a person's character; they can be interpreted to find out more about your personality, to see
if another person is a compatible lover or if they will make a suitable employee and much more.
Handwriting is controlled in the same area of the brain where the personality is formed. Up to 40
different elements of your handwriting are measured, assessed, analyzed and compared, each symbol
is then interpreted as a personality characteristic. Because no two handwritings are alike, just as no
two people are alike, every handwriting is as unique as a fingerprint. Handwriting is the
psychological imprint of an individual.
1. An upper zone
2. A middle zone
3. A lower zone
Each zone is analyzed for particular characteristics for example a 't' with a high cross bar (in the upper
zone) indicates leadership and intelligence; an 'o' that is wide at the top shows a person who is a talker
and can not keep a secret!
The letter A. a.
If the letter 'a' is well formed and easily read it means the writer has good communication skills. When
the letter 'a' is complex with curls, twists and knots then the more indirect the writer is in their
communication with other people.
The letter G. g.
'G' is also a two-zone letter. It is written in the lower zone and the middle zone. If the lower zone is
formed with a straight line downward it shows the writer is independent and confident.
This is just a brief insight into the meaning behind each letter. A certified Graphologist can interpret
much more.
Why not get to know yourself, friends, partner, lover and coworkers better? Send a sample of
handwriting, in any language (except Chinese, Arabic or Russian) for a complete and revealing
analysis. You will receive a detailed, unique personal or business report on your own handwriting or
your friend's, family's, partner's, lover's or coworker's.
Your signature provides the graphologist with a better picture of your personality than any description
of your character could do. But your signature does not exist in a vacuum. It doesn't mean much
without your handwriting. You were taught all the letters of the alphabet in school, along with spacing
and margins. Every first-grade classroom has a chart with the shapes of all the letters. You were
probably taught to begin writing in such and such a distance from the edge of the paper, or you started
out with ruled paper, with the margins already marked for you.

Your signature is an entirely different matter. No one taught you how to sign your name, nor did
anyone choose a signature for you. You created your own signature, after many experiments and
doodles.
Your signature undergoes many changes as time passes. Although your signature basically remains the
same, you never sign your name twice in exactly the same manner, even during the same period of
time. If a lawyer shows in court that two signatures are exactly identical, the court may decide that this
is a sufficient proof that one of them is a forgery.
Your signature is accepted in today's world as your personal representation. Your signature on a check
changes it from a piece of paper into money. A judge's signature can send someone to jail for life; a
governor's signature may save a prisoner from the electric chair; a psychiatrist's signature may
determine whether someone will live in society or be hospitalized. Contracts take effect only after they
are signed. Billions of dollars may change hands on the strength of a few scribbled letters. Try to
imagine a world without signatures: society as we know it would cease to exist. It is not surprising that
graphologists have their hands full with real or suspected forgeries.
Above all, your signature symbolizes the real you - your inner self, your ego. A signature contain of
one or more of these three elements:
1. First Name
2. Last Name
3. Additions
The use of these three elements may change with age, marital status, and social standing. It may
change many times, and in many ways, during the course of a lifetime. Your last name represents your
image in society, while your first name relates more to your individual ego. If you stress your first
name in your signature, this may be an expression of your need to attract attention, or an urge to prove
yourself. This may also be a sign that the writer may not rely on his family, and wants to be judged by
his own merits. If the first name is blown up, and is bigger than the writer's last name and/or the
written text itself, this may indicate egocentricity and narcissism, or self-love. If the writer stresses his
family name, this may symbolize family pride or his dependency, (Upon his family or immediate
environment).
At times you will come across a signature which is identical to the writer's handwriting, with the first
name and last name written in such a way that they possess the same characteristics as in the body of
the handwriting sample. In such a case, you can usually conclude that the writer is at peace with
himself. He does not wish to appear to be what he is not, does not want to be conspicuous, and is
sincere and stable. Before completing your analysis, however, you must examine the handwriting
itself, to see whether these properties correspond to the features in the handwriting.
Additions - at times you will find a signature, composed only by additions, i.e., something which
initially was a signature, or some letters from the full name, and which became a scribble in the course
of time. The simplest addition to a signature is the period. In most cases, the period appears at the end
of the signature, and signifies its conclusion. The use of a period after the signature may suggest that
the writer is subconsciously worried that something may be added to his signature, or that someone
may try to forge it. This added point is a kind of protection of the signature itself.

You should examine the form of this period under a magnifying glass. You have to determine whether
it is stable and static, or whether it resembles a comma; whether this represents an attempt to quench
the writer's enthusiasm or a balanced, logical, pause. If the point closely resembles a comma, you can
assume that it was produced at high speed (the greater the resemblance to a comma, the higher the
speed). If it resembles a circle, this means that it was more thought-out and has a different meaning. A
static point is generally produced by slow writing, and indicates balalnced judgment and a feeling of
completion. It may also mean suspiciousness and an attempt to keep a safe distance. A light point,
maintaining momentum, is made almost unconsciously, and is the result of speediness and the desire to
stop at a certain point.
The difference between the signature and the text and the location of the signature are both important
for your analysis.
While handwriting tells us about the writer's inner feelings, the signature tells us what the writer
wishes to be, what image he wants to convey. At times you can learn from the signature about the
writer's past, his ambitions, and his expectations.
You must rely more on your intuition when analyzing signatures. There are several rules, but the
general picture can be gained only intuitively.

Abraham Lincoln
Margaret Thatcher
Royal Family
In both signatures (Queen Elizabeth's and Princess Diana's), you will find the same phenomenon. They
are closely attached to the text. There is no space between the writing and the signatures. This way of
spacing the signature indicates that the person feels like a part of society. People who write this way
have a strong sense of belonging to the society.
Another phenomenon we can see in the signatures of Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen's Mother and
Princess Diana is that they are all underlined. When a signature is underlined it shows that the person
who signs likes to have recognition from the public and to be on center-stage. ( Sting, Joan Collins,
Fidel Castro, Picasso, Alfred Hitchcock, Roger Whittaker, Elvis Priesly, Paul McCartney all exhibit
this tendency).

Queen Victoria In the Queen Victoria's signature, the first letter
looks like a hand covering and protecting. It
can indicate a person who feels responsible for
people around them.
Sting
Gerald Ford
The signature is characterized by very strong angles, which are usually found in the handwritings of
stubborn, dominant and or leaders.

Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton's signature is the same size as his handwriting. He places his signature very closely to the
text itself. This shows modesty and a tremendous sense of belonging to society. He does not separate
himself from his people and feels that he and his country are one. He takes upon himself a great deal of
responsibility as if he needs to fulfill a mission.
n Clinton's handwriting one can discern two very prominent forces which motivate his activity. One is
a particularly strong and untiring urge to constantly prove himself, up to the point of having difficulty
of resting on his laurels and of feeling satisfied with his achievements.
The other force which motivates him is the need to belong. From early childhood Clinton has struggled
with a feeling of rejection and of not belonging. It is so important to him to belong that he sees the
entire nation as his family. In addition he is a very sensual person. It is important to him to touch and
to be in contact all the time and only then he feels he belongs.
Tom Wilson
It won't take much effort to see the similarities between Walt
Disney's signature and that of the cartoonist Tom Wilson, the
creator of "Ziggy".
Now look at the signature of another famous person, in a completely different field of endeavour;
Thomas Alva Edison, the famous inventor responsible for electric light, phonographs, and many other
technological breakthroughs that we take for granted today. What do you see here? A blueprint, or a
large structure. *
David Ben-Gurion
10
This signature is that of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. His signature exhibits a great
deal of power, momentum, self-confidence and decisiveness. *
Elvis Presley

continuously under a great deal of pressure.
Every action he takes is carefully examined and he advances only after every detail has been
meticulously planned and taken into account. This significantly slows down his activity, but at the
same time, makes his actions thorough and prudent.
His personality expresses a double standard, as if he is two individuals This can also be seen in the
signature, which shows two circles: black and white. In actuality, the writer is an individual without
gray areas, agility or compromises.
His upper zone is characterized by flags (a real shape of a flag). These flags show a certain twist in his
perception of the world. This writing phenomenon coupled with a lack of lower zone tell us that there
is a severe distress concerning his sexuality and manliness.
Saddan Hussein could not identify with the father image and has an extreme need to constantly prove
his manliness. The more sexual difficulties he will have, he will become more aggressive and will use
every power he has in order to draw attention.
Another strange phenomena in his handwriting is the lack of the regular spaces. One can not tell
whether the space is between the letters or between the words.
Handwriting, being a tool for transferring information, must comply, more or less, with acquired rules,
and in order to understand what we read, it is important to keep the standard space between letters and
between words. However, in Saddam Hussein's case this is not the situation. He follows his own rules,
not relating to the customary and adequate norms.
He is an extremist, opportunist and all that matters to him is to draw attention, to prove his manliness
and by doing this to overcome his frustrations.
