The signature is a personal identification that each one creates, with a large unconscious component in its design, since in general, although at some point we devise it, it is modified until we get to do it in a few seconds and without thinking.
For this reason, the signature can say a lot about us and our personality, even about unconscious aspects that are not so easy to recognize.
Graphology is dedicated to the analysis of the signature and a graphologist can tell you many things about it, but there are basic and general aspects that you can observe yourself if you want to have a general picture.
Take a sheet of paper, sign on it with a pen or whatever you normally use to write, and then analyze it taking into account the different aspects:
The place of the sheet that is chosen to sign when a large sheet is available can give a fairly general picture of the personality of the person.
Those who choose the upper left corner are usually shy and reserved people. The center of the upper margin represents focused and cautious people and the upper right, kind and calm people.
Those who sign completely in the center of the page tend to be distant and observant people, and those who sign to the center left tend to be reserved as well.
The center to the right, on the other hand, represents friendly and outgoing people; and the lower right corner, open, friendly and spontaneous people. The lower left corner corresponds to distant and closed people.
Size
The larger the firm, the more extroverted the person is likely to be, and vice versa. Although it can also indicate a shy and insecure person who needs to show himself to others. A normal size is considered between 12 and 18 millimeters.
Readability
If the signature is legible, that is, the name can be fully understood, it means that the individual shows himself to others with sincerity and openness.
On the other hand, an illegible signature corresponds to more suspicious people and who may have some resistance to authority, or mistrust.
A semi-readable signature (for example, if only the initials are understood, or the name but not the last name) represents a person who takes time before giving his trust.
Inclination
The upward orientation represents one’s own demand. If the signature slopes slightly upwards, it means that the person wants to grow and excel, but if it is very pronounced, it can mark too much self-demand.
A downward signature, on the other hand, indicates apathy and resignation, deeper the more inclined the signature is.
A horizontal signature indicates a balanced personality, which accepts its successes and mistakes.
Form
The predominance of curved lines indicates aesthetic tastes, kindness and good manners.
The majority presence of straight and angular lines, on the other hand, is a sign of pragmatism, order and discipline.
In the signature, the proper name usually represents the personal, intimate and individual world, and the surname, the family. Therefore, the greater presence of one or the other (either complete or initials) indicates what is given more importance.
If the name is absent, it means that the family and the environment are given a great weight that hides the person behind; On the other hand, if only the proper name appears, it represents a very independent person who perhaps does not feel represented with her family.
Capital letters
The larger the size and the presence of capital letters, the more self-esteem the person has. Capital letters that are three times the size of the other letters are considered very large, and those that are twice as large are considered normal. The latter indicate a real self-worth, and a balanced self-esteem.
His smallness and the absence of them represents humility and appreciation for others.
If the embellishments are absent they reveal authenticity and clarity; It is accepted and shown as it is.
An enveloping rubric reveals a search for protection, for security. A personality that protects itself.
The “Mouth of the Wolf” (type “C”, open to the right) indicates a search for shelter and protection. If it is open to the left, it also indicates a certain mistrust and care in the face of the unknown and new.
A doodle that makes part (or all) of the signature illegible indicates a search for authenticity and originality, and an abstract mind, full of ideas and thoughts.
A swirl indicates a search for authenticity and originality. Swirling of ideas and sensations.
A line or underline indicates security and determination; a person who seeks to achieve their goals, facing challenges and new situations.
A regressive signature reveals a personality that seeks security to achieve their goals, reinforcing their ideas before taking action.
An unnecessary dot indicates reflection, verifying prudence, perfectionist execution desires, distrust of the future.
