Know What Your Handwriting Say About Your Personality

Graphology, or handwriting analysis, is both a scientific, and artistic approach to assessing a person's personality. Although this is a professional practice, you can also do it as a hobby to assess yourself or others. It's a science, a learned skill. It's not like a psychic gift we've been given at birth. There is a technical process to this. If you do extensive research, persevere and are highly motivated, you will become proficient in this field. Handwriting analysis happens to be an interesting, enjoyable and informative hobby for people who are seeking to increase their self-improvement and self-awareness.

It has been said that handwriting reflects a person's past. And also, a graphologist can assess behavioral patterns of a person. Ruth Gardner, a graphologist, believes we can conceal our thoughts and feelings, but not completely. Even things you're trying to hide will be revealed in our handwriting. For this reason, handwriting has been called "brain writing" in the past.
