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.

This sample of George W. Bush was written as the governor of Texas and in preparation for his upcoming presidential campaign. At the bottom, we note the stationary's footnotes. Since this is at an angle; then the handwriting sample will look like a downhill baseline when in fact, it is not. The pressure of the writing appears heavy, but I am uncertain since this is a copy.

The striking features of this writing are its simplification, threading and small middle zone, overly tall capitals, speed, and disconnected cursive. The overall picture of the sample depicts action/ kinesthetic and impatience.

Contrary to popular belief, George is a very intelligent man. He has three graphology traits for intellect; speed, simplification and creative connections that aid speed and facility. He is a very quick thinker, goes straight to the heart of problems, and comes to conclusions rather quickly. He could be accused of not planning well or thoroughly before acting. George is impulsive, not a cautious person [note the t-bars and how rightward they sit on the stem]

Bush has strong physical stamina and drive, enabling him to work hard and not tire; he has boundless energy. This is necessary to carry out his ambitious plans. While he does have ambitious overall plans and goals; he does temper that "future" with the present day problems [here we can see two types of t-bars, short and low stemed mixed with high and strong ones]

Bush will pass up certain details for the benefit of the overall picture. However, he will not pass over those details which are vital to the overall plan or goal; only those which rate at a lower priority. Bush allows intuition and gut feeling as part of his decision making process. And while George has plenty of backbone in his writing and can stand up to anyone; he will utilize his flexibility and adabtability in dealing with others. He has a great deal of versatility in his writing in several different aspects. [the baseline is wavy in above average form level; there are many slant and size changes, the connective forms vary; in fact every aspect of the writing varies. In low form level handwriting; it is a big problem, but this is higher form; and it is to be interpreted in a positive manner]

He is a very independent person, and is mostly concerned with his lofty goals and aspirations. He is prone to daydreams and his a vivid imagination. These "daydreams" may be better described as "seeing his vision" before it is actually manifested.

George is quite an emotional person. He can even get carried away emotionally. However, when that does happen; he will often get a grip on himself and then place controls on himself. [there are many slant changes and the writing will often get more and more right slanted; then a sudden quick change to an upright slant]

George can adapt his social skills, and his emotional demeanor to fit the circumstances. As mentioned earlier, he will adapt his ambitions and aspirations to accommodate the situation. However, in disagreeing with you; he will be short and directly to the point. George can be argumentative when viewpoints clash. The writing is impatient and restless, and so is George. He has a hard time relaxing and just taking it easy. He cannot be described as low key.

Geroge will not disclose everything he knows, however, he will be evasive of an issue rather than to lie. His handwriting is sincere. His communications and directives to others are short and succinct, but on the other hand; George does like to "shoot the breeze". He just won't talk about matters that he is not at liberty to discuss. This is an area where George will "let his hair down". He is not a social butterfly.

George has had difficulties with his parents, and there remains unresolved issues, especially with his father. He seems to have healed his problems with his mother though, if not completely, than to a major degree.[note the PPI (Personal Pronoun I) in the sample. The father stroke is very short in the first PPI, and then it dissappears completely. The mother stroke is only half in the first PPI's, but becomes more complete as the sample progresses]

George tries hard to prove his worthiness to others. On first impressions, George will try to emote a vision of confidence. His aspirations are not self contained as they are also protective of and for the benefit of others. [notice that the very high t-bars are often arcaded]

This is Fidel Castro's letter to then President Franklin Roosevelt. It was penned at the young age of just 14 years old. Impressive considering that English was his second language. The sample shows that Castro was uncomfortable with the language and that may explain certain characteristics of the sample. For this reason, I will ignore these in this analysis.

The outstanding features are crowded spatial arrangement, wavy left margin, flourished capitals, changing pressure, jumbled lines, downhill baseline, blotchiness, and the overly exaggerated signature. This is a key detail, especially for someone so young.

The jumbling of the lines is a strong sign of confusion. The writing is clear and legible, so he is trying his best to communicate; but the confusion is in the state of mind of Castro. Already, Castro is displaying anti-social tendencies and hostility, in conjunction with the confusion; makes for a dangerous combination. Castro shows he is greedy [note the many curled lead-ins], and will hold onto grudges for a long time.[there are many long and rigid lead-ins to start words or letters] Castro is depressed, and this is a severe sign since he is only 14 years old. [downhill baseline]

The signature portrays of what we call in graphology "a plate of spaghetti". This means that the signature is "covered up" or "protected" by extraneous and overly excessive strokes. In other words, Castro wants to be viewed as someone who is untouchable. He has protection and uses a "smokescreen" to cover up his activities. It is more than just coincidence that Castro also wears a beard and smokes cigars. These are subliminal mainfestations of his need to cover up. He is afraid and even paranoid of others. Certainly, when a 14 year old boy shows such signs; it is to be taken more seriously.

With Castro, his word means nothing. Everything you see from him is part of that smoke screen. He will say one thing and do another. He is not trustworthy. The sudden and sharp changes in pressure display a very angry, hostile and unhappy person. This anger can easily be directed at those who are not responsible. He will "displace" as a defense mechanism. This is evidenced by the jumbled lines causing confusion.

The writing is aristocratic,[arcades and overly flourished capitals] and since Castro's signature is the most overly flourished; he views himself as the king. Along with the "smokescreen" defensive posture, he also sees himself as unapproachable, an authority without question.

Castro's greed, paranoia, and aristocratic views would mean he would feel no qualms about eliminating others and utilizing whatever means available. [Remember the graphology trait of the wavy left margin. This is one of the most common traits amongst the criminal population. The left margin is symbolic of "the line of society". When the line is straight, even if slanted; the person will adhere to social norms and behaviors. When the line is wavy as in Castro's letter; the person objects and doesn't agree to follow that "line"] Castro feels he doesn't have to answer to society, and that he is above the law.

There are many stenciled letter forms in the sample. Too many for it to be just the problem with English, and in corroboration with the other graphology traits; this could be expected. Castro is a liar and a thief. He was this way at 14 and if his handwriting is similar today; then he is no different. He will cover up his mistakes, and never hold himself responsible.

Castro is extremely dangerous, cunning, and deceitful. He is a liar, a thief, and he sees himself as his own authority. He displays strong criminal and psychological problems.

This sample was written during Clinton's first term as president. We can note that the space is very crowded, the writing is visual, the connective form is false garland, miuxed with angles. The writing is small, and there is unusual tri-zonal balance; the lower zone dominates and the upper zone is diminished. The sample is regular and without much spontaniety. The slant is upright to slightly leftward, and there are triangles in the lower zone. The stable axis is bent from the right, and the PPI is very angular. The sample is rather femminine.

Clinton is constantly busy, and fortunately for him has the stamina for his busy life style. There isn't any free time in Clinton's life. He is a immersed in social organizations, and community affairs. Bill is extremely charming and is adept in the social graces. He comes off as everyone's friend, but he has his own agenda and interests in mind.

He is flexible and good at rolling with the punches. Bill will often knuckle into pressure of others, and is therefore vulnerable to very persuasive people. [notice how the stem's on the "t" are bent.] However, he will also stand up for his principles, too.[there are many angles in the sample to show backbone] Clinton is a versatile and adaptable person who is driven more by society and social admiration than by intellectual pursuits. He wants and needs to be constantly approved by others. Bill is very cautious, and is rarely prone to being caught "off guard".

Bill was brought up by a very strict mother, and he is very self critical. He has a tendency to treat some women only as sex objects [there are "triangled" loops in the lower zone] This characteristic is not severe but it is present. Bill is a very sensitive man, and can be upset by negative criticism. [the loop on the lower case "d" is overblown] Although, he tends to control his emotions; he has a sensitive and soft side to him. He is a sensualist; likes stimuli of the senses, such as music, touch, food, etc. [the overall picture is femminine, there is roundness, some pastosity]

Clinton can get down on himself and often worry about the outcome of goals and projects.

Churchill's sample above was written during the war, in 1944; he was 70 years old. This would explain the downhill baseline; signifying fatigue or depression. In this case; I'll assume that is fatigue and worry about the war.

This sample is very simplified, well organized, and there are large spaces between words. The writing is small and illegible, and notice the powerfull "i" dots and sentence ending periods. The speed of the writing is fast; he purposely slowed down on "Maria" signifying a need to contemplate about her. There are earnest garlands, and creative forms throughout the sample. There is a great deal of space before his PPI's.

Churchill was bright, and he had a quick mind. He was rather impatient and didn't waste time beating around the bush. He recognized the situation of any task or goal; quickly analyzed the situation, and went straight to the heart of any problem. He loathed wasting time.

He was an emphatic man, who was difficult to understand; perhaps a sign of security and secrecy during war time. He gave out orders, with the minimal of words; and expected his orders to be carried out. Churchill was a terrific planner and organizer, as evidenced by the excellent use of space. The unusual disconncetions especially in words like "Kathleen" depict a sense of intuition. However, most of the sample is well connected which tells us Winston relied on logical thought sequences to formulate his opinions and direct the necessary action. His quick mind meant that he did not take long to formulate plans and strategies. Churchill paid attention to only the necessary details of a problem or objective. He moved swiftly over those that were less than important.

Churchill was a simple man with simple tastes. He was modest and humble, but make no mistake; he was in charge of England. Even at 70 years old, he showed signs of heavy pressure and determination. The pressure certainly varies, and Churchill needed rest during the day, but he had enough stamina to continue; too much was at stake. The garlands in the writing are earnest and not false; Winston could be jovial and compassionate. Winston needed personal space which he probably utilized to prepare for meetings with military and government officials. Or perhaps this was his opportunity to take a rest. [this is evidenced by the unusual spacing preceding every PPI]

An interesting contradiction to Winston's sample here, is the downhill baseline, the stepped downhill baseline; and the left margin moving rightward, along with a small right hand margin. The baselines indicate worry about the outcome of goals, and the future. While the margins indicate the opposite. My best guess with this dicotamy is that Churchill felt depressed and worried in the short term, but deep down; he knew that by the time of this writing, the war would be won by the Allies.
