Analyzing personality from handwriting
從字跡分析個性
In the late 19th century, a German psychology professor proposed the theory
that the brain determines handwriting. Later, many psychologists supported this theory and used handwriting analysis to identify various personality traits. For example:
Wide spacing between letters
It indicates clear thinking and logical organization.
Narrow spacing between letters
It suggests impatience and a lack of patience in completing tasks.
Square-shaped letters
It reflects conservative thinking and a dislike for major changes.
Rounded letters
It represents a person who is used to thinking from different angles.
Small handwriting
It reflects shyness and attention to detail.
Large handwriting
It implies outgoing, optimism, and self-confidence.

The Australian government will legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday last week, in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law late next year.

However, many new devices that can record consumers’ brainwaves or analyze the brain in other ways have been launched in recent years.
