Core Handwriting Traits
The four primary signals every analyst looks at first: slant, pressure, size and baseline.
- Emotional Expression, Slant
Handwriting slant reflects a person's style of emotional expression, not the intensity of their emotions.
- Depth of Feeling, Pressure
Handwriting pressure reflects the intensity and depth with which a person tends to experience and express emotions and energy.
- Social Appetite, Size
Handwriting size reflects a person's natural level of social interaction and comfort with people, not their abilities or value.
- Outlook, Baseline
The baseline reflects a person's general outlook and approach to life, not what will happen in their future.
