INTRODUCTION
The study of writing is defined as graphology. Graphology and handwriting analysis
can be classified as a subgroup of psychology research. Handwriting is unique in
nature, no two people cannot have identical handwriting, although there can be
striking similarities. Each author has unique traits that can change based on age,
Experience, and physical or mental states.
The work mainly focuses on the handwriting analysis process to identify a person's
personality from their handwritten documents, examining handwriting features
such as baseline, slope, pressure, size, font, letter spacing, word spacing, margins,
etc. to reveal a person's personality.
METHODOLOGY
Some common features of handwriting that can be used to predict personality
traits are :-
 Baseline
 Size of letters
 Writing pressure
 Spacing
 Slant
 Margins
 Rhythm
 Pressure
1. Zones
The handwriting is segregated into three zones.
These three zones define the balance between the
ego development of the writer, the intelligentsia and
metaphysical sphere of the individual.
The dominant UZ a demanding conscience, depressed, finds little

joy in life, under pressure
The dominant MZ Irritated, low superego, antisocial, rigid

The dominant LZ Restless, unsatisfied, materialistic
2. Baseline
An imaginary line on which letters reside is
known as Baseline. The baseline helps
determine a writer’s emotional state of mind.
Straight emotional stability, with a good sense of balance, Straight

baseline self-discipline, and organized
Rigid disciplined sense of duty and obligation

baseline dominates their feelings, usually dull personality
Rigid
Upward creative, eager, healthy outlook on life, displays
baseline ambition and vivacity
Sharp serious problems or illness due to emotional

downward nature, pessimistic outlook on life
Upward
Irregular adaptable, poor self-discipline, don’t have
baseline control over their emotions, moody, restless
Sharp downward
3. Slant
Vertical slant =right angle (90 degree)
Inclined slant =acute angle (below 90 degree)
Reclined slant=obtuse angle (above 90 degree).
Vertical
The slant of the writing conveys about emotional
responsiveness of the writer.
Vertical head-over-heart emotional attitude, independent,
detached, makes a good leader or contented loner.
Very inclined cry and laugh readily, give vent to their feelings, are Very inclined
future- and goal-oriented, affectionate, amiable and
sensitive emotional nature.
Very reclined complete self-interest, independent, hard to
fathom, rarely shows true feelings or desires,
past-oriented, strongly influenced by the
values of his mother
Very reclined
4. Pressure of writing
It reveals the emotional energy of the person. The
deeper the writing cuts into the paper, the deeper the
reservoir of drive and energy the writer possesses.
Heavy
Heavy pressure Energetic, express heavily, are strong-willed, Medium

firm and easily excited to hot-blooded
actions, can inspire others, can be stern,
stubborn Light
Medium pressure healthy vitality, willpower
Light pressure Sensitive, impressionable, great creative
ability, willpower is not strong, easily
succumb to the dominance of a heavier
writer.
5. Margin of writing
It indicates past and future, intelligence,
adjustments, truthfulness and fastness.
person's taste, his social, cultural, and artistic
tendencies, or a lack of these.
Balanced Wide left Wide right
 Balanced- Awareness of social boundaries,

order, control, aesthetic sense.
 Wide left- Avoidance of the past, sense of
culture, communicative, courage
 Left narrowing- Inner fatigue or depression, No margin Left widening Left narrowing
can’t let go the past
 Left widening- Eager to move away, optimistic,
impatient
6. Size
The size of writing reveals the nature,
concentration and adaptability of a person. It is
measured by the vertical height of the letters L
Large Enjoys attention, enthusiasm, bold, indiscipline,

M
restlessness
Medium Practical, realistic, adaptive, balance of mind

S
Small Independent, introspective, academic personality,
bad communicative skills
Variable Emotionally off-balance, caught in own’s feelings,

childish, self-centered
7. Spacing in words
Spacing can reveal numerous personality traits like
the writer’s social life, intellect, organizational
ability and emotional stability.
Normal
Normal spacing Social maturity, intelligence, and
inner organization. Wide
Wide spacing Remains isolated, difficult in
communication Narrow
Narrow spacing Attention seeker, selfish in their
demands, crave closeness
DISCUSSION
Conclusions
Research shows that our handwriting originates not from the hand, as we might
expect, but from the brain. The state of the brain at the time of writing has a direct
influence on what appears on the page. Graphology is also unobtrusive and non-
invasive, especially when compared with other evaluation techniques, as far as we
know – no two people have the same handwriting.
Although graphology is an established science, the accuracy of handwriting
analysis is found to be around 90% correct prediction because of the human error
and ambiguity in the handwriting sample. In the present study, it has been
reviewed and conclusively stated that graphology is having great importance in the
investigation of various cases related to the handwriting analysis.
CASE STUDY
John Dillinger, American criminal who was
perhaps the most famous bank robber in
U.S. history, known for a series of robberies
and escapes from June 1933 to July 1934.
Characteristics observed in his handwriting:-

 Very inclined
 Sharp down ward base
 High pressure
 Poor rhythm
