Graphology is a science with its basis just like all the other sciences; empirical, and scientific exploration of hypothesis and experimentation. The various character traits that match up with the various graphological traits have been thouroughly tested through the traditional scientific methods.

Graphology is a science and should be best left to experts in the field. It takes years of study and training to become a qualified graphologist. However, there are simple and logical explanations that can show you; how and why graphology works, and the implications for its practical uses.

The following handwritings are samples of famous people. We have provided a mini-analysis of some of the main features of these writings. It is for the purpose of your review. In no way is this to be determined as a complete and in-depth analysis. We have chosen a variety of samples purposely selected for their unique graphology characteristics and others simply because of their fame. Please enjoy these as they are meant only for the purpose of public interest.

Earhart's writing style exhibits some unique qualities. The striking graphology traits are the light pressure, the easy and loose rhythm, the expansive, wide letters and spacing, garlands, the PPI, and the t-bars.

Amelia was a very independent woman, adventurous, and a loner. However, when she was with people; she was warm and friendly. She was a very modest and understated person, and genuine. She would be described as quite, and low key.

Amelia would go straight to the heart of the matter when it came to problem solving or projects. She did not bother with petty details, and broke down situations and tasks to their basic elements.

It is the adventurous spirit inside Amelia that drove her. This is the most dominant graphology traits in the writing sample; so too was it the most dominant personality characteristic of Earhart. [Sometimes there will be several graphology traits which point to one aspect of personality. In Amelia's case, there are four, wide letters, wide spacing between letters, wide spacing between words, and the extra high t-bars dictate the power that adventure had with Amelia]

Earhart needed expansion; she constantly was not satisfied with her accomplishments and would set new heights for herself. Then she would try to attain those. Then she would repeat these quests. The unusually high t-bar tells us that she set extraordinarily high goals for herself; even goals that were unattainable. [the height of the t-bar is symbolically the height of "the bar we set for ourselves". With Amelia, the bar is set above the stem of the "t"]

This sample of Chistopher Columbus was written at the age of 51, and just 4 years before his death. This may explain some of the characteristics in his writing style. There could be physical problems with coordination with his fine motor skills; giving rise to the resulting tremulous script that we see.

However, regardless of the physical illnesses that plagued Columbus at this point in his life; [I will always check a sample to see if the writing has some form of physical disability or ailment which would otherwise taint the analysis of such a script] I can certainly factor that into my analysis.

What strikes first is the power of the writing, strong driving diagonal strokes, the size, unique forms, convex baseline, and heavy pressure [The muddiness, and pressure changes may be caused by physical problems, so I will ignore that with respect to the analysis]

It is imminently apparent that Columbus, even under difficult physical problems, had great vitality and energy throughout his life. He never tired, and was always ready for more. This sample is very "action" oriented. [The overall impression of the writing is full of rightward or forward motion] Columbus danced to the beat of a different drummer; he was unorthodox. He was very creative and needed action in his life.

An intelligent man, Columbus's most dominant personality trait is his motivation.[The strong diagonal strokes shooting into the upper zone] This was a man who did not stop untill he achieved his goals. He had too much backbone and confidence to listen to others. He was his own boss, self determined and directed. At the time of this writing, Columbus directed his attention to people. He was altruistic, as evidenced by the lower zone "reaching" rightward.

Note: Review the difference between Earhart above and Columbus. Earhart showed the adventurous spirit with the use of space and expansion; while Columbus did it with creativity, and motivation. Similar "results", but the two were driven for different reasons. Earhart needed "space" and Columbus needed "action".

Wilbur Wright has an unusual writing considering his incredible invention. I would expect to see creativity, and an unorthodox writing style. Instead, his hand is rather conventional. The space is extremely crowded, and importantly, I cannot determine the degree of pressure in the sample. It does vary though. The other main features of Wilbur's hand is that it is angular, well organized, regular and tight, and no right margin.

Wilbur was a conventional person, he was strict, and his father was absent from his life [missing the father stroke in the PPI]; either physically or emotionally. Wilbur had strong physical and sexual drives. He kept his manner and demeanor under control at all times. One would describe him as quiet, stern, precise [note the accurately placed i-dots]inflexible, and uptight [the writing is rigid]. This was a serious person who had a great deal of pride, [note the high stroke on the lower case "p"] and personal self-esteem. He believed in himself.

This writing is the style of the business person. He was the decision maker, and you could expect an argument if you disagreed. You better have good reasons for the difference of opinion, because Wright would demand that of you.

His strong physical drives made him a relentless worker. He could easily be described as a workaholic, working all night long and not even realizing how late it was. He would not quit at projects; even when they seemed hopeless. He had hope in the unseen [crashing right margin is indicative of someone who wouldn't stop even though all the signs say so]
