What Does a Handwriting Analysis Look Like?

Every graphologist has his/her way of doing things which makes getting your handwriting analyzed by several makes it more fun. Usually, you should find that most will agree on everything; especially if they are "legit"! Being a graphic designer and marketer, presentation has always been important to me so I'm always making my finished products valuable in content and beautiful visually. This is why many of my clients will purchase a copy of the frame able finished product to give away as gifts. And, of course, satisfied customers seek my graphology services for other events and purposes.  

Often when I receive a sample of one's writing via mail (people send me samples using an SASE at my webpage: www.terscott.com/handwriting with prepayment), I will scan the sample so I'm not "distracted" by other elements on the page as with this one, from a recent client:

With your sample here, I immediately scanned it on a separate piece of paper so as not to be distracted by the elements around it; a very nice card by the way. It’s a great idea to have had the person’s signature on the “invite”, a very nice touch.

I then include my thoughts, sometimes not dealing with correct grammar etc., I just let the thoughts flow, and present my actual findings on a nice 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper suitable for framing but will often times include this "thoughts sheet" with it:

On these pages, I offer my “unedited thoughts” that you may use to share in your talk; and I include another that you may have laminated, frame and save. Please excuse any grammatical errors and repetition of thought on these pages; I include them simply for you to glean anything else that you may use in the service.

Here's what the final "frame able" page looks like:

 

 

I look forward to presenting at your next function or doing an analysis via my online order page: www.terscott.com/handwriting.

 

 



Ter Scott Explains Thougth Process for Handwriting Analysis

When I get a request via my website: www.terscott.com/handwriting, I usually start with a few "introductory" statements so the recipient understands a bit about the process.

Following is an actual reply to a client, I offer it here so you will know what to expect when I do an analysis for you either at one of my live events, or via the mail. This sample was of a "signature only". I usually do an analysis using a signature accompanied with other writing, but I certainly do many "signatures only".

Thank you for presenting me this sample of graphology, and to request my analysis. Although there are similarities, all writing is as individual as fingerprints or snowflakes; no two are identical.

Before I state my comments about this signature, please allow me to clarify a few things in an effort to convey my thoughts as clearly as possible, and explain my process of thought in coming to my conclusions.

A person’s handwriting is a piece of art, and surely the uniqueness of this sample is just that. One’s handwriting leaves for us a movement “frozen in time”. Also, writing does not reveal either male or female; at least for certain. I will make the assumption this is a male’s signature; and I think you used the male pronoun in our phone conversation.

One’s signature is how one want’s to be “seen” by others; this is not necessarily the actual “private” personality of the individual, but the personality as how one wants to be perceived “in public”. When I analyze signatures only without a sample of other writing, I can only speak of the signature; more of course reveals more!

As I present my “descriptive adjectives” here, please understand that all are “neutral” and are neither positive nor negative; they just are. I might use the word “aggressive” and you may think that this is a bad trait, but not necessarily so, for this is very positive in a sales person or one who must lead others. If for example, some piece of writing shows procrastination, this could mean that this person places spending time with others (or some other benevolent work) over getting their own work completed. So as I present these words to you, please keep this in mind.

Now per the process in my thinking and how I come about my presenting to you my analysis, I first look at the “whole” of the “picture” of the sample, and then narrow things down, going into more depth. Basically, I tell you first what I see first; what strikes me the most, and then go from there, looking at spacing of letters, slant of the letter, etc. (When analyzing a paragraph for example, I don’t actually “read” the content).

So, that is how I get started in analyzing one's writing.
Make it a great day!

Ter Scott!
