A friend recently presented me a copy of a book
called "Handwriting Analysis: Putting It To Work For You", written by Andrea
McNichol. It was unfortunately not the latest John Grisham thriller. But as I soon
discovered, in its own way, it was almost as good! Graphology (or handwriting analysis for the uninitiated), is actually a very fascinating subject. The basis for graphology is that our handwriting reflects our personality traits. Analysis of people’s handwriting can actually tell us a great deal about them. It indicates whether a person is expressive and emotional or introverted and inexpressive, whether they’re lying or telling the truth and even if they have a "maniacal streak" in them. It can tell us whether a person has a high I.Q, is a compulsive criminal, is emotionally unstable and even as much as if he or she has suicidal tendencies! Something as mundane as the degree of slant in your handwriting can reveal a lot about your handwriting. For instance, if your handwriting slants to the right side, it indicates that you are an emotional and expressive person. But if it slants to the left, it would mean the exact opposite. An extreme right side slant indicates mental and emotional instability and capriciousness. If the upper part of the d’s are heavily pressured and slant to the extreme right, it would mean that the person has a maniacal streak!! |
And if you think this is just a far-fetched and
exaggerated theory, take a look at the author’s credentials. Andrea McNichol studied
graphology at Sorbonne, the Heidelberg University (Germany) and at Berkley University in
California. She also then researched the topic for eight years. She is now regularly
consulted by the FBI, Scotland Yard, the US department of Justice and the US Department of
Defense among many others, especially in criminal cases where she can identify the culprit
with the help of merely a handwriting sample (something similar to a lie detector test). This book actually changed my perspective of my own handwriting. I have never been able to look at it objectively since I read this book – and I have subtly started trying to eliminate the "sickie" traits in my handwriting and adopt positive ones. As I learnt from the book, handwriting analysis essentially a very logical and deductive process – and this book is ideal for a beginner to pick up the rudiments of graphology. So if you’re itching to find out whether the compliments you receive are genuine or not, and if your so called friend is really a true friend, just go ahead and immerse yourself in this book!!
