Two sciences study human handwriting. One of them, graphology, has been dubbed a pseudoscience by researchers, while the second, handwriting analysis, is actively used, for example, in forensic examination.

Let's find out what handwriting can say about a person.

Handwriting helps to identify the author of the text and confirm the authenticity of the signature

Our handwriting is not formed immediately. It is influenced by many factors: the time spent on writing practice, the degree of effort during training, working conditions, lighting level, table surface, etc.

In addition, individual writing style is influenced by the characteristics of the nervous system, which are responsible for the coordination of human movements and the degree of development of bones and muscles in the hands.

All of the above makes an adult's handwriting stable and gives it individuality, which, in turn, makes it possible to determine the authorship of a text or signature.

Handwriting indicates a person's physiological state

The characteristics of a person's condition are manifested in the movement of his hand and, accordingly, in his handwriting, and can tell about the life he leads: about a state of intoxication, severe fatigue, illness, etc.

Handwriting reveals approximate age

An individual writing style is formed in a person only by the age of 16-18, when the formation of the nervous system and skeletal bones is completed. In childhood, children find it difficult to concentrate on writing, as their hands quickly get tired, and as a result, neat copybooks eventually turn into illegible scribbles.

Handwriting can also change in old age. People over 60 years of age experience deteriorating vision, weakening of the nervous system and hand muscles, which leads to hand trembling, corrections, additions, omissions or repetition of individual letters in handwriting.

Earlier we talked about phrases that give away haters.
