Handwriting Psychology: Personality Reflected in Handwriting

by Helmut Ploog

If you find yourself called on to judge people on a regular basis, you need all the tools at your disposal to do your job right. Handwriting psychology offers one practical method for helping you learn what you need to learn about your subject quickly.Whether you are a teacher, psychologist or manager, you can benefit from the guidance of Dr. Helmut Ploog, a handwriting expert. Learn what the size and width of handwriting can reveal about a person, as well as what more muted features—such as slant, spacing, and direction of lines—can make clear.Written in plain English, this guidebook presents pithy explanations of handwriting movements, which may be angular or round, long or short, heavy or light, high or deep below the base line. It also offers analyses of the handwriting of many well-known people, including Charles Darwin, Anne Frank, Paul Getty, Allen Ginsberg, Ernest Hemingway, Frida Kahlo, Somerset Maugham, Pablo Picasso, Pope Benedict, Vladimir Putin, Maurice Ravel, Carl Rogers, and Susan Sontag.Handwriting Psychology should never be used by itself to judge someone, but it can serve as an essential tool to make and confirm observations that could change your life, your career, and your approach to life.

[Terrie K.]

Ugh!! This was the most technical book I have ever read! Originally written in German and translated into English. The subject matter could not have been explained in more depth. One of the things I learned was when someone uses a large, loopy signature, such as movie stars or politicians, they seek to distance themselves from their true selves! Recommended only for those who have a strong eye for detail.

I think handwriting analysis is very interesting but the details in this book were beyond my pay grade. But still enjoyed skimming it.
