So, what do graphologists look at?

Size

Large letters: You are active, cheerful and witty, enjoy sharing a joke and have a great sense of humour. You are very confident, which means you always know what you are doing.

Average letters: You are reserved and can hide your feelings. On the other hand, you can sometimes appear cold and unfriendly.

Small letters: You are shy and sensitive; you can be easily hurt.

Spacing between words

Wide spacing: You are independent, enjoy your freedom and don't like control as well. However, people often think you are arrogant, that you believe you are better and more important than others.

Narrow spacing: You are talkative and sociable; you enjoy being with other people. On the other hand, you tend to be bossy and often tell other people what to do.

Slanting

No slant: You are punctual and honest; you usually come on time and always tell the truth.

Slants to the right: You are adventurous, you have a brave heart and ready to take risks.

Slants to the left: You work better behind the scenes. You are a bit of a loner – prefer being alone to spending time with other people.

Shape of letters

Rounded letters: You are kind and generous, you share and give more than people expect. You are also artistic and creative. You have a great imagination and enjoy inventing new words, things and stories.

Pointed letters: You are very intelligent and curious, you like learning new things. However, you can be a little nosy – too interested in what other people are doing. You can sometimes be greedy, and it means you don't like sharing your things, ideas or space.

Writing pressure

Heavy pressure: People trust you, because you are very reliable, you never break a promise. On the other hand, you tend to be stubborn and never change your opinion, even if you are not right.

Light pressure: You are helpful and selfless, you care about other people's interests.

Writing speed

If you write quickly: You are often impatient, dislike waiting or time wasters. In addition, you can often be loud and emotional.

If you write slowly: You are well-organised, careful and patient. You can wait to get a result. It can also mean you are a bit lazy and don't like hard work.
