Graphology - update

In my very, very limited research Google books has pointed out a few interesting facts about Graphology -

  • It has been studied for a long time, possibly back to 1000 BC in ancient China, Aristotle and Shakespeare also made reference to graphology
  • basic analysis can seem like common sense - example: a timid person as a timid handshake and timid handwriting to suit.
  • Interestingly, more distinguished characters apparently frequently write with very 'bad hands' - I take this to mean that messy handwriting can be a sign of distinguished character?
  • Gender cannot be told from handwriting (though can be told by the language - Thank you Criminal Minds)
  • Your handwriting will usually reflect your mood
  • Each aspect holds different indications - 
    • The shape of the letters indicate intellect
    • slope shows affections
    • the more punctuation the more care they have
    • flourishes indicate showiness
    • connections indicate logic
  • The loops in a letter G can indicate social abilities, example, small g loop indicates being socially selective, while a large g loop indicates they greatly enjoy and indulge in social company.
These are the first of my rudimentary notes on graphology, please not this was done for fun and taken from online books, Graphology - the Art of Handwriting Analysis by Julian Moore, 

What Handwriting Indicates: An Analytical Graphology by John Rexford and The Five Minute Therapist.
