Product Description

Learn to read your emotions and desires, and those of people you deal with every day. A graphology expert instructs readers in the basics of handwriting analysis. He shows how to employ a step-by-step method that gives a reliable description of a subject, based on a sample of his or her handwriting. Just as our voices reveal much about our emotions, our motives, and our needs, so too does our handwriting present a psychological profile to the analyst who knows how to decipher it. A simple but clever set of tools, devised by the author, is enclosed with this book. Its components are:

  • A protractor to measure angles of handwriting slant and gauge emotions at the time of writing, as well as to interpret enduring personality traits
  • A gauge for estimating the zones into which each part of a handwritten letter falls
  • A rule for measuring any letter’s size and spacingAll components in the tool kit are printed on sturdy, transparent acetate, to be used as an overlay on handwriting samples. An opening chapter presents an overview of handwriting analysis, discussing handwriting pressure, size, spacing, slant, and the qualities these features indicate. Subsequent chapters discuss what handwriting reveals about a subject’s public life and inner life. A final chapter offers an at-a-glance guide to decoding psychological meanings underlying the various ways in which a subject shapes each letter of the alphabet. This fascinating book provides a key to self-understanding and the understanding of others. More than 250 instructive color illustrations.

    Easy enough read but lacks sufficient depth3
    I'm actually new to this subject and I found this book to read just to satisfy my curiosity and provide myself with some entertainment. Graphology isn't a science so there's no way to actually prove any of what the book claims. Despite this, I still find this to be an interesting read and I have taken note of what it has to say about some of my friends. This book is really easy to read through but I find that it does not provide us with too many examples nor does it go too in depth with the descriptions.
