More Graphology

Okay - know it's been a while, but to make up for it I've done a little more research on Graphology.
I've learnt a few things, one being that if someone's writing gets smaller as they write it is a sign of intelligence as they are able to become more focused and concentrate harder the longer they write.
Also,

• angular writing is a a sign of aggressiveness
• people with larger handwriting are often more outgoing
• starting a words with a larger letter indicates tact
• long upper strokes indicates imagination e.g.-

Note these facts were taken from online previews of boodle books -

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.

Graphology

graphology |graˈfäləjē|noun1 the study of handwriting, for example, as used to infer a person's character.2 Linguistics the study of written and printed symbols and of writing systems.

I would love to learn this skill. The ability to understand your own or another person's mood or elements of their character by their handwriting sounds like a great ability. Using it when ever someone passes you a note in class, just being able to pick up on tiny details like that - it sounds like something Sherlock would do ;)
If I ever find myself possessing free time again, this is the next thing I want to research, and I'll be sure to post little notes about it on the blog!
