Brain Writing
Whatever the style of writing – elegant or a hurried scrawl, it reveals much about the inner self. Amazingly, it is possible for a trained graphologist to create a detailed character analysis from a single piece of handwriting – a ‘snapshot’ of the way we were feeling at the time of writing. What is revealed is a unique insight into the personality, intellect, working qualities, physical/mental health and much more. Joyce Parkinson, MBIG (Dip) explains the hidden meaning behind the writing on the page. It may not occur to many people but handwriting is as unique as your fingerprints and facial features. Graphologists call the act of writing ‘brain writing’ because of the message which is passed from the brain to the hand to form movements on the page. An interesting comparison is to describe it as body language which has been literally frozen on the page. Content is generally immaterial as it can be misleading but movements such as size, slant, layout and letter shapes all play their part. Graphology has been around since Roman times and the first book on the subject was written in 1622. During the early 19th century a group of French monks gathered together thousands of samples and started to put interpretations on the movements. After 40 years of painstaking research the term ‘graphology’ was established in France and this is when it was first considered scientific. Research continued in western Europe, USA and Japan where graphology has been validated as an accurate form of personality assessment. The process begins when we are taught to write at school. At first it is a conscious act requiring concentration to form the letters in a set copy-model style. Once these basic outlines are mastered, we begin to quicken up and to write automatically. This is when it becomes unconscious and our personality traits start to emerge in our own unique style of writing.
