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.
