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 is a copy of a draft from Hitler written while at the hieght of his power. Hitler was about 50 years old at the time of this sample. We make allowances for a different "copybook" [copybook is the alphabet of the language that was taught at school] which at the time Hitler went to school; the copybook was quite angular; even so, this is still more angular than the copybook.

We can notice that the sample is still very rigid and angular. There is a great deal of energy in the overall picture, and notice how the words at the end of the lines "crash" into the page, and forcing the word to turn downward. The signature is on an extreme downhill baseline. The sample has a moderate to strong right hand slant, but the slant grows more rightward as the line progresses often. The left margin is erractic.

There is emphasis in horizontal motion in the upper zone; so Hitler had intellectual drive and motivation. He was not stupid as history has indicated. Hitler had a great deal of energy, and motivation. He was very impatient, structured and rigid. There is inflexibility in the writing, and so was Hitler. It was his way or the highway. He was an unyielding man. The writing is powerful, and driven. In fact, it is driven so strongly; that Hitler would completely ignore obvious warning signs and keep plowing ahead. [the crashing right margin] He was relentless.

Even though this sample was written before World War II began; we can see clearly that Hitler was a dangerous persson. The combination of pressure, inflexibility, and crashing right margins indicate a person who will not listen to reason, is headstrong and overly committed to his goals.

Hitler was very emotional and the excess of angles betrays his hostility. The right hand slant that grows stronger shows that the writer will get carried away with his emotions. When the slant returns, it indicates that the writer is regaining control of their emotions. The fluctuations in Hitler's script portrays the emotional rollercoaster he was on. But make no mistake; he rarely controlled his emotions; the control factors are weak in comparison. He mostly would just get carried away.

This sample also shows the severe depression and suicidal tendencies that Hitler had inside him. Besides the crashing right margin; his own signature shows of suicidal tendencies with the severe downhill baseline. This has been with him for quite some time, the baseline has progressively increased in its downhill angle. Hitler had been greatly depressed for many years previous to this sample . Hitler was anti--social and it is clearly evidenced by the wavy and sinuous left margin. In combination with strong motivational factors; he had the ability to manifest his anti-social tendencies.

He would throw temper tantrums like a child. If he couldn't get concensus with simple discussion; he would yell louder and louder until he got that agreement. [notice how the size of the writing increases as the letter progresses. This is the equivalent to "written shouting"]

This graphology trait is one of the most negative in all graphology. Along with "crashing right margins", suicidal tendencies, and rigid and angular handwriting; we can clearly see the maniacal behavior that made Hitler infamous. However, he was far from stupid as portrayed in history.
