Handwriting analysis: The meaning of slanted writing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSocial interest is a value that impulses humans to cultivate relationships with others, procuring to conceal interests in common. There is a great difference between having the need of contacting others and being able to achieve it. Sometimes, we seek to establish a bond. We have the natural ability to do it, but due to personal difficulties such as fears, bad experiences, self-esteem issues, we cannot achieve it. The greater the slant, the greater the importance we grant to \u201cothers\u201d in each one\u00b4s life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHandwriting slant is related<\/strong> to affection, initiative, with the ability for reflection and the tendency to apply intuition or logics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a business perspective, slant indicates: Persistence at work, concentration, order, organization, initiative and decision. This graphical aspect of handwriting allows us to discover social needs and contact needs of the individual, his attitude towards interpersonal relationships and the importance he grants to them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich part of the letters should we measure?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe meaning of slanted handwriting. A little clarification before we begin to speak about measures. A basic concept to understand graphology and to keep in mind: the areas of handwriting. Letters rest on a line or baseline. In each letter and each word, we find a superior area or upper extension, a middle area and an inferior area or lower extension. According to symbolism of space, Max Pulver affirms that in the act of writing, the individual describes himself: <\/span><\/span>\u201cconscious writing is a subconscious drawing.\u201d <\/span><\/span>Pulver is the creator of the symbolic school, applicable to all kinds of projective test. The <\/span><\/span>superior area<\/span><\/span><\/strong> reflects<\/strong> intellectual and spiritual thinking. The <\/span><\/span>middle area <\/span><\/span><\/strong>reflects emotions, social ethics and daily routines. The <\/span><\/span>inferior area <\/span><\/span><\/strong>represents<\/strong> physical and instinctive needs. Whatever slants rightwards indicates extroversion and tendencies for contact with others. Whatever slants leftwards is attachment to the mother\u00b4s womb, the family and indicates regression.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn order to measure the inclination of letters we must first draw the baseline or line where all or the majority of letters rest. From there, we measure upper extensions or superior parts of letters \u201cI\u201d, \u201cll\u201d, \u201cb\u201d, \u201ch\u201d, \u201cd\u201d, \u201cf\u201d, how much they deviate from the perpendicular edge. With the goal of observing slant, we extend letters upwards and we measure the angle they form with the baseline. Then, using a protractor, we take the measures. Capital letters are good for measuring, where there are letters that are very difficult to measure (like a, o, e, c, v, r). The quantity of letters to be measured will depend on the size of the sample and the exactitude we desire to obtain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graphology: Slanted handwriting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIn Graphology <\/span><\/span>\u201cslanted\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong>always means inclined<\/strong>\u00a0to the right<\/strong> and when we speak about <\/span><\/span>\u201cinverted\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong>or sinistrogyrous<\/strong> we interpret inclined to the left. (<\/strong>In spanish we say inclined: Right side, and inverted: Left side).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is important<\/strong> to clarify, like in all graphical aspects, that inclination by itself does not have any value for interpretation, but that it needs to be confirmed with other signs<\/strong>. Although each sign is granted a value or meaning, the sense is acquired in context.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nModule for slant:<\/b> It indicates that handwriting must be slightly slanted<\/b><\/i> (moderated dextrogyrous) or vertical: <\/b>The more slant the more dependency on others.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the reference point for each graphical aspect?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n The <\/span><\/span>module <\/span><\/span>is the <\/span><\/span>measure or reference point<\/strong><\/span><\/span> that we shall consider <\/span><\/span>normal<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. It is possible that the analyzed aspect in a given text is found within what the module requires as NORMAL, BIGGER or SMALLER than the module. In the cases there is a difference from what has been established, the corresponding psychological interpretation shall be given.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe meaning of slanted handwriting: According to slant, we classify the different types of slant:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nVery Slanted (defined dextrogyrous or lied down) <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Meaning of slanted handwriting: Dextrogyrous<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen upper and lower extensions form an angle between 30\u00ba and 45\u00ba, this indicates lack of objectivity, loss of self-control, great affection and defined extroversion. Exaggerated dramatization in feelings that may be positive, but may turn into bad or resentment upon minimum disappointment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the negative side:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em> Exaggerated value for situations or people, loss of control, impulsiveness, passion, desire to call attention, (if the inferior area prevails: need for love), thoughtlessness, aggression, lack of touch. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWith regressive signs on final strokes and capital letters: Jealousy, affective selfishness, need for hoarding affection and attention of those who surround him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nModerate Slant (moderate dextrogyrous) <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nUpper extensions are slanted, forming an angle from 55\u00ba to 60\u00ba approximately. This type of writing reveals harmony in tendencies between feelings and logics. Good level of intelligence, extroversion, ability for reflection and synthesis. Affective people, need for the presence of others, affective stability, feelings and reason go together. Independence of criteria that accepts social norms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nRight Slanted Handwriting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n On the <\/span><\/span>positive<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong> side<\/em><\/strong>: Expansion, need for giving and receiving affection, sympathy, kindness, comprehension, solidarity, adjusts and integrates easily, honesty (with curved graphisms). On the <\/span><\/span>negative<\/i><\/span><\/span> side: conventionalism, adjusts by custom or routine, flattening kindness. With <\/span><\/span>angled <\/i><\/span><\/span>graphisms: tendency to opposition, resistance and thoughtlessness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nVertical or Straight Slant<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Slanted handwriting and vertical or straight slant<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nUpper and lower extensions form a straight angle (of 90\u00ba) with the horizontal line (a variation of 5\u00ba towards the right or left is accepted). The individual who writes this way enjoys self-control. Firm criteria, stable attitude, calm, determination in thinking and character. Maturity in conduct, control for desire and feelings, clarity and persistence in thinking. Ability for observation, reflection, reserve. Little need for presence of others, which does not mean there is no sensitivity or affection. Controlled passions in love life. On the <\/span><\/span>negative <\/span><\/span>side: Indifference, coldness, distrust, impassivity. May be proud individuals, cold or indifferent, since they choose to think before feeling. Hard for coexisting. If accompanied by <\/span><\/span>curves<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span>: <\/span><\/span>G<\/span><\/span>ood level of intelligence, reason and thinking prevail over emotions. If <\/span><\/span>angles<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>prevail: Indifference coldness. <\/span><\/span>If also <\/span><\/span>over elevated and rigid:<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> Obstinacy, inflexibility, hard feelings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Does Left-Slanted Handwriting Say?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSinistrogyrous or Regressive<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis is how we call writing which letters are slanted towards the varying between 92\u00ba and 150\u00ba. In this case (letter which is slanted towards the left) <\/span><\/span>there is no progression, no moving forward.<\/b><\/span><\/span> This means that there is a defensive attitude, of rejection and repression. Introversion, disassociated conduct that does not manage to express what the individual feels. Represses impulses and need for affection and contact. Who has lacked affection during childhood, in adulthood will feel conditioned to avoid friction, conflicts, that might be associated to old inner frustrations. Inverted writing expresses repression, for whatever reason, the person fears, distrusts and is not able to free his tendencies. Feels distrusts of the intentions of the ones that surround him, inferiority feelings, narcissism, egocentrism. May also be slowness in ideas , but with great ability for concentration. These are very discrete individuals, cautious, reserved and prudent. Introverted and insecure. They demand protection. They establish dependent relationships since they were not able to detach from the mother. They present difficulties for social adaptation. This writing is hard to interpret. That is why it is necessary to confirm with other signs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graphology: Meaning of Slanted writing and inverted-writing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nModerate inverted writing<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Meaning of slanted handwriting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe inversion of writing is interpreted as the search for shelter in the inner world as a defense mechanism towards a situation in which the individual needs to avoid himself. Perceives the pressure of the environment as anguish. Tendency to withdrawal. Decision-making is complicated and initiative is limited. Little self-confidence, social relationships and bonds are difficult, distrust, disguise, lack of honesty.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nVery sinistrogyrous or fallen towards the left<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis writing denotes personal problems that lead to protection towards the outside world. Strong introversion, inhibition, escape, frustration, reserve, disguise, lack of adaptation, isolation, depression. On the negative side: egocentrism, distrust, falseness, lies, hypocrisy. May suffer an affective block, although might have subconsciously great affective needs that cannot express. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat does it mean, if your handwriting turns to the left?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Tends to repress aggression and projects this energy on himself, provoking tendencies to depression. We need to make sure that the writing implementation, the position of the sheet of paper, posture and the hand being used are correct. When for many reasons the left hand is used, we may find fallen writing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHandwriting slants both ways: Unequal Slant<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Graphology Slanted handwriting and Unequal writing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGraphology: Varying Slant<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen is writing considered unequal?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe call <\/span><\/span>unequal or varying writing<\/strong> <\/span><\/span>the one which letters have a slant between vertical, inclined and inverted. On the positive side, there is ability for adjustment to others\u00b4 needs without thinking in own desires or needs. It is possible that we are before a changing personality, but with ability to adjust to the other\u00b4s state of mind. It could happen that the individual faces a duel between what he wants and what does not want,<\/span><\/span>
