Handwriting analysis

Handwriting is not just a product of the hand, it originates from thoughts in the brain and these thoughts and ideas are merely put into a viable and understandable form by the hand which is nothing but the instrument.
It has been proved that if one uses the foot, forehead or any other means to write, after undergoing the necessary period of training, handwriting would portray the same characteristics related to the psychological make-up of the writer.

The scientific side of this discipline is based on experiments, statistical data, measurements and combination of technical characteristics. The artistic side lies in the complex constellation made of the various characteristics involved in the psychodynamics of the writing movement.

Just as fingerprints can be identified by unique combinations of loops and whorls, so each person's handwriting contains particular combinations of unconsciously projected characteristics which, taken together, comprise the person's personality.
The study of the combination of these characteristics in their interrelationship is part of what is termed handwriting analysis or graphology.

Handwriting Analysis (Graphology), as part of a battery of other psychological tests, also attracts some consideration and interest in a court of law. In cases of custody of children, following divorce, graphology is also listened to as a reinforcement of the personality assessment performed by the psychologists.

An important break-through was achieved in 2003 with a Dissertation in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters in Psychology by Sonja Broschk at Rand Afrikaans University - Johannesburg.

The title is:  "Graphology and Personality - A correlation Analysis"

Her successful dissertation was supervised by Dr. H Scheepers from Rand Afrikaans University. Assistance in terms of the dissertation's subject matter was offered by Silvana Grandin, Principal of the Academy of Graphology where Sonja qualified.

"The Moving Finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on; nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel Half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it"


From "The Rubayat of Omar Khayyam"
