Tips for a Positive Signature

What does our signature mean? The act of signing, besides granting documents validity and turning them into legitimate, defines us, since the signature symbolizes our inner Ego. It is almost like a “logo” for a company. The signature represents what we feel about our identity and how we feel about what we have achieved so far until present. It is very tied to the individual we would like to be, that is, our ideal Ego; it is more subconscious than the text.

We all know how much companies invest in the logo development that will identify them. We should think the same way about our writing and especially in our signature.

If you still write and sign like an adolescent, you should ask yourself if that is how you would like to be seen by the rest of the world. The signature is an introduction letter that sends subconscious signals about how you are and about how you see yourself.

What does my current signature say?

We should ask ourselves “What does my current signature say?” and “Are there “alerts signs” in my signature that other people see and that I do not even register?” Maybe all of this will help us reflect for our self-knowledge.

Signature Analysis Personality: Text and Signature

The text symbolizes the way in which we conduct ourselves in life and how we wish to be identified. It is the image we present before others. The text is studied through the graphical aspects that we have mentioned several times, layout, shape, dimension, slant, speed, continuity and pressure that will reflect who we are today in our present situation and will also allow to infer the future behavior. The graphological study analyzes the signature and text as a whole, quite on the contrary, there would be information missing. In the signature, we project our deepest being, our personality. In the graphological test, the signature is analyzed after the other graphological aspects have been studied. It is very usual that our signature is modified throughout time and does not accompany us for our entire life, due to evolution and the maturity of our personality.

We ask ourselves about the meaning of the signature.

• How are “scrawled” and illegible signatures interpreted?
• What does an end period mean in a signature?
• And signatures that only include initials or capital letters?
• Signatures between parallel lines?
• What kind of signatures should we avoid?

When we look at a signature, the first thing that strikes us is its global structure (it is observed as a “gestalt” that means looking at “the whole” as if it were a picture, without discriminating details.) It must be clear, legible and with simple shapes and harmonic dimensions, there must be equilibrium in the curves, angles and straight lines that form it and keep relationship with the text that goes along with it. Let us get into detail.

Tips for having a Positive Signature

To keep in mind:

It is important that the capital letters of the name and last name are always bigger than the rest of the letters. We must not write the name and last name of the signature in lowercase, since it would transmit a deep inferiority feeling and lack of trust in oneself.

Regarding the size of the signature, it must keep relationship with the letters of the text, (not smaller nor bigger). The signature of a bigger size than the text transmits a superiority feeling before others (we shall explain in detail below)

The style we use is something we should never overlook. The signature must be sober and simple, without complicated, tangled ot aggressive strokes. These strokes that appear to be sophisticated and elegant reveal some kind of conflict for the one who knows graphology.

Signature Analysis Personality. Tips for a Positive Signature

• Dimension or size of the signature.
• Relationship between signature and text.
• Legibility.
• Predominant shape of the signature.
• Location of the signature.

Graphology: Size of the Signature

The size of the signature is studied through height, extension and is compared to the body of graphical mass of the text. The height reflects self-esteem and value and the concept of oneself and the extension expresses the projected strength and intensity at the time of executing the action. According to the dimension of the signature, there are several possibilities:

• Signature of a bigger size than the text: It is deduced into “inflation of the Ego”, over esteem of personal values. These are individuals that consider themselves superior to others, with a greater capacity, greater experience that is driven with arrogance, pride, hubris and despise.
• Letters of the signature of equal size than the text: Its self-concept coincides with what he shows. Harmony and equilibrium between the inner Ego and the expressed social Ego. There are no inferiority nor superiority feelings towards the outside world.
• Signature of a lower size than the text: Reflects an individual who has inferiority feelings, lack of trust, shyness, excessive humility, difficulty in social and business communications.
• When signatures are executed in capital letters, they mark an important superiority feeling with mythomania, discontent people who show superiority as a defense mechanism before their own insecurity with the goal of hiding their weaknesses. Ability for presenting their best image.
• Over-elevated signature (It is detected because ovals are higher than wide): It indicates pride, vanity, creative spirit elevated self-concept, aristocratic or superiority pretensions according to the signs.

Resemblance between Signature and Text

The greater the identity and the graphical resemblance between the signature and the text, the greater the stability and correspondence between what the individual wants or needs and his way of proceeding or acting.

In a mature, evolved and sound person, there should be a concordance between the written text and his signature. It is expected that an individual acts according to what he thinks and feels. A person that expresses himself as he really “is”, can be considered “trustworthy”.

The signature is associated from the psychological with the feeling of identity and inner wellbeing that an individual has managed to build until present.

What happens when the signature and text do not coincide?

 When this similarity between signature and text does not exist, it means that the individual does not feel fulfilled, or that his present life differs according to his expectations and most inner whishes.

The signature represents those aspects that are more subconscious that are tied to the “ideal Ego”, while we can see all that the individual truly thinks, feels and the present behavior expressed in the text. The signature is a synthesis of the personal history. That is why we repeat that is not reliable to carry out a graphological analysis of a text if we do not have a signature, just like we should not study a signature in isolation without the text. When the text is equilibrated, harmonic and the signature presents negative signs, it indicates that the stability is “apparent”, not real and that at some time this conflict will arise.

In many cases, there is a lack of identity and concordance (sometimes very accented) between a written text and the signature that accompanies the same, to the extent that it is impossible to associate this signature with that text.

When the graphical aspects that are analyzed in the signature and text coincide, we are before an individual in harmony between what he expresses and what truly “is”. There is coherence between what the individual “thinks” and what he “does”. There is equilibrium, spontaneity and naturality. The differences between text and signature indicate the presence of conflicts in personality. It is an indicator of contradiction between social attitude and intimate conduct.

Legibility

When is a signature readable?

A signature is considered legible when we can easily recognize the names and last names. The signature that is legible reflects an equilibrated personality, with clear goals and sense of duty and responsibility that feels identified with himself. It means the individual expresses himself the way he is, his intentions are clear and is convinced of his way of thinking and acting.

• The signature is considered semi-legible when its reading is complicated but it is possible to identify and associate the strokes with the letters. This type of signatures is associated to impatience, anxiety.

• Illegible signatures are the ones in which it is impossible to identify any letter. When the signature is illegible only in official documents, it could present some difficulty to accept authority. On the other hand, if the signature is always illegible, it indicates some tendency towards avoidance (to avoid conflicts). When strokes are simplified, there is a tendency towards synthesis in general and ability to achieve the goals that have been set.

Graphology: The Shape of a Signature

Shape reflects the own style, culture and education. The way of being of the individual. There are signatures in which there is a predominance of angles and others where there is a predominance of curves.

Evenness in the signature reflects self-control, logics, persistence, concentration and order in general. On the contrary, the variability of shape, indicates intuition, versatility and predominance of feelings before logics and reason.

• Predominance of angles: Those who sign with predominance of angles have a certain quota of aggression, are conclusive and reluctant to change and adversity. They can be intransigent and intolerant, especially in environments of trust. The angle must not be associated with negative aspects, since in order to develop certain tasks or activities we require aggressiveness, fight and effort. It indicates accented personal energy, independence of criteria, individuality, can get to inflexibility or inability for adjustment, depending on confirmation with other signs.
• Curve: People who execute curves where there should be angles are softer, more sociable, extroverted, affectionate, and sensual, with a tendency to laziness. The curve indicates flexibility, cordiality, kindness and ability for adjustment, as long as there is a harmonic graphism.

It is essential to compare the shapes of the letters of the text, sin inequalities mark a difference in the general behavior that does not correspond with their inner feelings.

• The signatures where arches prevail, like in letters “m”, “n”, “h”, reflect movements of defense towards the environment. Those who sign with arches stick to social rules, conventionalisms, are elegant and distinguish and can fall in the artificial, pay more attention to the apparent than the real.
• Garlands: People who sign with garlands present more predisposition to extroversion, transmit spontaneity, kindness and comprehension.

• Filiform signatures: Strokes are like a stretching thread. They are typical of people with diplomatic skills that find the exit to any situation. Tendency to escape.

Location

Where must we place the signature? What does the location of the signature in the page symbolize?

The location of the signature symbolizes the degree of dependency or autonomy of the individual, the relationship between ideals and what he appears to be.

• Signature away from the text: Introversion, distance, pride, shyness, distance from social contact, avoids communication between the social or professional environment. Defensive and imposes distance between his intimate life and the rest.
• Signature that invades the text: Impulsive individual who does not reflect, ambitious, vulgar, excessive confidence, extroversion, does not respect foreign intimacy.

• Signature next to the text: Extroversion, sociability, adjusts easily, does not feel prisoner of conventionalisms.
• Signature to the left of the text: Introversion, inhibition, insecurity, indecision, fear to society.
• Signature to the right of the text: Good adjustment to the environment, optimism, initiative, activity, trust in the future, passion.
• Signature in the middle of the page: Self-control, cautious, impulse control, inhibition, predominance of reason, diplomacy and reflection. Little spontaneity, moderates expression of feelings. Equilibrium between introversion and extroversion. Can be a “passive spectator” of life. Depending on the rest of the context, the individual may like to be the center of attention.

Types of signatures you must avoid

The signatures that we must avoid are the negative signatures and are called negative because they reflect distrustful personalities. There are traits that, even though they are not positive (like the case of way too inclined signatures), they cannot be considered negative. Negative signatures have retouches, are crossed out, complicated, bizarre, overlapped, blackened, disintegrated (or with little cohesion) or are very conflicting according to the text.

• Complicated signatures are the ones that are executed without fluidity, continuity, too elaborated, slow (takes longer to be executed). From the psychological point of view, it indicates that the individual is defensive and feels vulnerable before the environment. Lack of inner clarity, that tends to see reality from a subjective point of view rather than objective.
• Overlapping signatures

In order to talk about this topic we must recognize the structure of the signature. The signature is composed by the name, the last name and the stroke that can go under the same or not.

The name, from the graphological point of view symbolizes the personal Ego, intimate and childish and the aspirations. It is with whom we identify ourselves since children and the way we are recognized within our family. Those who sign only with the name or grant more importance to the name than the last name, grant more importance to that first stage in life and their childish Ego.

The last name is related to the father image, the social and business Ego, with the most adult side connected to reality, it symbolizes authority, father roles of protection and control.

How do overlapping signatures occur? It may happen that the last name overlaps the name, or the other way around. That signatures with initials are overlapped to the initials of the name with the ones of the last name.

• Overlapping signatures evidence invasion feelings that will be interpreted according to the sector of the signature that overlaps the other. In the signatures where only the last name is consigned or where only the name is written we can also find overlaps. The interpretation shall be done according to the associated meanings with each one. When the last name is written in the name, we infer that some aspect of the family life interferes, nullifying the personal growth of the individual expressed through the name. Overlaps symbolize lack of inner discrimination.

• Blackened signatures present congestions or bundle-ups of a different extension, which are usually related to anguish states of mind and lack of satisfaction or physical or psychological pathologies (such as ulcers, depression and stress). Let us remember that throughout life we usually do not have more than two or three signatures. Each change in the signature responds to a specific biographical fact, that is why it is said that the signature is a biographical synthesis of what the person has gone through.
• The signatures where the name prevails over the last name indicate supremacy of the intimate life over the social life, love for intimacy or desire for protection or childish personality, depending on confirmation with other signs.
• Signatures in which the last name prevails over the name: It indicates that the individual feels more important about his social or professional role than his personal life and the family environment results little satisfactory. Presence of memories that whishes to erase from his memory. In certain signatures of married women (if compared to the signature of a single woman) we can notice the feeling of satisfaction or discontent and of identification or oppression in relation to marriage.

What must be avoided when signing?

There are other signatures that are not convenient to use:

• Signatures with little pressure: It means lack of inner security, little inner resources, a weal Ego, shyness, inhibition, limited inner energy that can result prone to physical diseases.
• Signatures with corrections: Corrections are rectifications of the own signature that express insecurity when writing the own name. Could be related to obsessive processes. We must always confirm that it is not due to lack of habit of writing or signing.
• Regressive signatures: This type of signatures are characterized by the strokes towards the left, movements of graphical involution that reflect difficulty in adaptation, comes back to the past and create impediments that do not allow self-development. They are individuals who find it hard to give themselves affectionately, due to protection or childhood experiences. We need to analyze the differences of inclination between the signature and the text, since interpretations vary.

• Crossed-out name signatures: It means low self-esteem, lack of self-acceptance, lack of adaptation, immaturity, tendency to self-destruction, guiltiness complexes, insecurity, the individual thinks that other people are superior to him. Incompatibility with the family environment, carelessness for himself.
• Wrapping signature: It expresses the need of feeling protected from the environment due to fears, fear to interchange, shyness, distrust. Need for isolation, eagerness for freedom that has been impeded for dependency to the mother. Desire of being in a safe environment. Imposition of barriers against unexpected events. Foreign intromission is not admitted, keeps his own things in a childish way, imposes his childish desire. Suggests a narcissist and selfish attitude. Hides and lies, depending on other signs.
• Descending signatures: Depression, pessimism, lack of trust in himself or great mental or psychological fatigue. They indicate despondency or lack of energy and trust to get to the desire goals. Insecurity may lead to depression. Locks into his own ideas. The descending lines can be due to mental or psychological fatigue.

• Signatures with an unnecessary dots: When there is an unnecessary dot, it is interpreted as a reflexive individual, with a verifying prudence, desire of executing in a perfectionist way, distrust on the future.
• Illegible signatures: They express desires of escaping reality, of remaining impenetrable, does not wish to see himself as he is, superficial bonds, little spontaneity, distrust, fear that lead to protect himself. We need to keep in mind that there are people who sign a lot of times a day and due to the speed, only these cases are interpreted as mental agility.
• Signature between parallel lines: Working individual, perseverant, smart but not brilliant, more of an inflexible will. The more firm the lines, the more inflexible and unilateral progress and the energy put forwards in order to achieve a goal. Gets upset when is interrupted from his tasks. Desire to follow a strict line of conduct. Search for security and protection with barriers not to deviate from his goals.

How do we make a good signature? Today, electronic signatures are becoming valid as a means of identification. What is the future of handwritten signatures? The innovative technologies may be hacked or cloned, while the handwritten signature is the way to grant validity to documents. It is also the summary of the individual’s personality.

The signature and its psychological meaning. How do we make a good signature?

To begin, take a look at the initials of your name and last name and analyze which of the different ways of producing it you like better, so as to make it stand out.

There are many signature models that may help you recognize a few details. Your signature will speak about you more than you can imagine!

The signature is the first name and surname used at the end of a document to confirm it is authentic. Its goal is to identify ourselves. It is even better if we can produce a signature that is “hard to mimic”. This recommendation goes for young people who start signing legal documents such as contracts, driver licenses, passports and bank papers, among others. The fact that these documents are signed is an essential measure in order to certify them.

Banks record their clients’ signatures in their databases and each time we attend to run an errand, employees will have your signature at their computer screen. In case there are great differences between the recorded signature and the one you present, big problems are generated.

For graphology, an individual’s signature is the most genuine expression of their personality. It reveals their virtues, flaws, complexes, ambitions, feelings for inferiority or superiority, capacity for adaptation or tendencies to become lonely.

We should not study a signature in isolation but analyze the signature and text together and look for differences and similarities.

Take a blank sheet of paper and write a few lines that come to your mind and then try your signature. Then compare your signature to the text.

Signature and Text: Similarities and Differences

This analyzes whether the traits of the text are similar to the ones of the signature or whether there are big differences.

It is expected that your signature and the text are similar. It is a sign of coherence between thinking and action. It means that you show yourself the way you are before others, that you are a trustful person who has nothing to hide.

How should the signature of a balanced person be? It is expected that an evolved, mature, and balanced individual signs in a clear, simple and legible way, including characteristics that are similar to the text.

Differences between the signature and text express conflicts in personality and between what the individual wants and what the individual does.

Legibility of your Signature

Is your Signature easy to read?

When young, we believe that an illegible and extravagant signature is more elegant and stylish than our stamped out, plain and clear name. Let us take into account that scrawled signatures are easier to imitate than a clear and full name and last name.

• A signature is legible when the name and last name that appear are easy to recognize. This means that you are a person with clear objectives, who is balanced, who has a sense for responsibility and duty and who feels identified with himself.
• A signature is semi-legible when it is hard to read, but each stroke may be identified with a letter. These kind of signatures are associated to impatience and anxiety.
• Illegible signatures are the ones where it is impossible to identify any letters. There are people who, due to business reasons, sign thousands of times a day, using a short signature. We need to make a distinction in these cases where these scrawls are destined to business, which implies that there is no personal compromise. Illegible signature applied in official IDs only, might show certain difficulty to accept authority.

If the signature is always illegible, it denotes a tendency for avoidance (in order to avoid confrontation) and lack of self-identification. If the signature includes simplified strokes, this means there is a tendency for general summarization and to achieve the goals that have been set.

Name – Last name Relationship

Parts of the signature: The name, from a graphological point of view symbolizes the personal ego and the family ego. It is whom we identify with since we are children and how our family recognizes us. Those who sign with their name only or give more importance to the name than the last name, grant more importance to that first stage of life and to their childish ego.

The father’s last name is related to the paternal image and the social and business ego. It represents authority, paternal role for protection and control as opposed to the mother’s last name (when used) which is granted importance to the maternal image, traditions and the past. When initials of the first and last name only are used, this shows lack of commitment, a desire to avoid responsibility, lack of self-identification and a great capacity for summarization. The signature, which is the scrawl that usually goes together with it, is the frame where the “inner ego” is found.

Spaces between Name and Last name

This refers to the distance between the letters and words that compose the name and the last name or last names. Variants are condensed name and last name, signatures of spaced letters and signatures of condensed letters. The distance between name and last name is linked to the psychological bond or separation between what they both represent (name: Personal – family ego, last name: Social ego and maternal – paternal images respectively).

Level of Organization

Signatures are organized when they are constant (traits remain without variation for a considerable time). They are correctly placed in relation to the text (does not cross it, nor it is too far from it), the distance between words and letters is appropriate and the shape of letters is clear. When these parameters are not accomplished we stand before an unorganized signature, and this is how the individual who carries the signature will be: someone showing confusion of ideas, lacking logical order for thinking and not showing themselves the way they really are.

Dimension

In this item we analyze the size of the letters of the signature and the uppercase – lowercase relationship of the signature in the text. The size is related to self-esteem and the concept you have of yourself. There are several possible combinations.

• Letters of the signature are bigger than the ones in the text: People who consider themselves more important than others (more capable, more experienced).
• Signatures done all in uppercase: Serious feelings of superiority along with mythomania. People who are dissatisfied with themselves. They show themselves as superior as a mechanism before their own insecurity in order to hide their weaknesses. Ability to show their best image.
• Letters of the signature and letters of the text are the same size: Their self-concept coincides with what they show.
• Letters of the signature are small compared to the text: Inferiority feelings. Lack of confidence. Shyness.

Types of Signatures: Shape

• Curve- Angle: People whose signature is angle-predominant resist to difficulties, are conclusive, definitive and reluctant to change. They might be intransigent and intolerant. Especially in environments of trust. People whose signatures include curves where angles should appear are softer, sociable, extroverted, affectionate, sensual and with a tendency to laziness.

• Arches- Garlands: Arches reflect movements of defense before the environment. Those who sign with arches, attain to social norms and conventionalisms. They may fall in the artificial and pay more attention to the apparent than the real. Those who sign with garlands transmit spontaneity, kindness and comprehension.

• Simplified- Complicated: According to the degree of complexity, simplified signatures are the ones that include the least amount of strokes and are associated to individuals who use energy correctly. They have ability for summarization and are simple. Complicated signatures imply waste of time, manipulation and lack of clarity in ideas.
• Filiform Signatures: The strokes are thread-like. They denote personalities with diplomatic abilities, who find the solution to any problem and who have a tendency to escape.
• Harmonic- Agitated: According to the level of harmony, they are classified in harmonic signatures, when strokes are fluent, without tensions, equilibrated and calm, as opposed to agitated signatures, where they are conflicting, irregular, tense and convulsive.
• Progression- Regression: Progressive signatures are the once that advance without traits towards the left. It denotes a symbolic altruist movement from the ego situated on the left and the others on the right.
• Regressive signatures: There are strokes to the left, movements of involution that reflect difficult in adaptation, goes back to the past and stop their own development.

Direction of Signature

There should be concordance between the lines of the text and the ones of the signature in a stable person.

• Ascending signatures: They indicate reluctance to difficulties, optimism, ambition, clarity in objectives, self-improvement, fighting spirit. Risks of dissatisfaction.
• Horizontal signatures: They reflect emotional stability. Satisfaction about the present situation.
• Descending signatures: They are associated with discouragement, to lack of energy to get to the desired objectives, discouragement, lack of self-confidence and insecurity that might lead to depression. Also, associated with acceptance of authority, locking into their own ideas. Descending lines may also appear due to mental fatigue.
• Ascending and descending signatures: They may indicate ciclotimia

Slant

Inclination is related to expression of feelings and emotions.

• Signature inclined to the right: Affectionate person, who takes initiatives.
• Vertical signature: Emotional self-control.
• Inverted signature: When the signature is inclined to the left, it indicates for these individuals it is hard to give themselves emotionally, due to protection or to childhood experiences.

It is interesting to analyze the differences in inclination between the signature and the text. When the text is inclined to the right and the signature to the left or vice versa, given that interpretations vary.

Speed

The speed with which we sign is related to the velocity of mental processes and the dynamism of the person.

• Fast signatures: Are from people who need to get to objectives quickly, who are impatient, expeditious, who are resolved and not very reflexive.
• Slow signatures: Calm people that are able to wait to get what they want.

 Pressure

The pressure in writing is related to vital energy and the inner-strength in individuals.

In signatures, pressure reveals security and inner-energy. When pressure is limited we need to compare to the pressure in the text. It denotes a weak, shy and inhibited individual, who is prone to diseases due to lack of energy.

Connection

Cohesion is the union and disunion between the letters of the signature and is related to the coherence between thinking and action. “Thinking” and “doing” is also related to sociability.

• Connected signatures: Are the ones where uppercase and lowercase are connected (T,P,V,W,N excluded)
• Disconnected signatures: As a first measure, we need to make sure that the pen has been lifted from the paper to consider dissociation. Juxtapositions may also appear. Predisposition to isolation. Difficulty to sustain what is being done.

What is the Difference between Signature and Rubric?

The signature is the name and surname that we usually place at the end of a letter or some document with the goal of legitimating it. It is the insignia of our personality. The image that represents us before others and which we feel identified with. The analysis of the signature, always along with the text, allows us to discover personal and professional abilities of the writer, their temper, mood, and evolution of their personality throughout life.

The rubric, from Latin terminology rubrum, was born in the antique documents of the Middle Age, to which the Latin words scripsit firmavit recognovit, which mean written, signed recognized, were added in order to legalize them.These words started to deform and turned illegible, persisting in the form of lines or scrawled drawings that appear next to signatures.

Rubric is a line or set of lines added to the name to sign that individualize the signature of each person. In the signature analysis, rubrics reveal personal ambitions. There is no valid calligraphy for rubrics. We try to avoid that our signature is adulterated easily and that is why we usually look for rubrics that not only appear next to and decorates the signature, but also that are not easy to counterfeit. There are people who do not “rubric” and who tangle the signature with the rubric. There are rubrics that persist along the years, that are constant and others that change with time, that fade out. Each one has a different interpretation.

Psychological Interpretation

Some authors comment that rubrics are “walkers” of personality. Something like a walking stick or support of which we get rid of as our personality matures. In rubrics, the ego defense mechanisms are revealed, which are the ones that protect the ego. In the signature, the name gets bigger, it becomes more legible and clear and the rubric gets simpler or smaller.

The evolution of the signature and rubric should go from “childish complication” and “inferiority complex” to “self-improvement and maturity”. Simplification of the rubric symbolizes personal achievement, mental maturity and a consolidated personality. That is why we say “the less rubric, the more personality”.

Underlining your Signature

Rubrics are analyzed along with the signature next to them. They are classified as follows:

• Simple and clear signature: Self-confidence, spontaneity, simplicity, serenity. Mature personality, authentic, confident of their abilities and honest.
• Complicated signature: Inferiority, desire for exposure, fear of not being taken into account. Impenetrability, cleverness, curiosity, self-protection, defense. Confusion in ideas, lack of clarity in wishes.
• Encircling signature: It wraps the signature with a circle or ellipse. Desire for security and protection. Defends himself from outer danger. Introversion, isolation, mistrust, caution. Need for protection at home, in the environment where they feel “safe”. If able to make contact, it is done by imposing their personal wishes. Fear of their smallness to be discovered, attempts of outer compensation that are revealed as “delirium of greatness”. Locked into their own ideas. May correspond to a narcissist, egocentric and selfish personality.

• Crossed out name and last name signature, stricke trough signature: Does not accept himself, guilty feelings, self-criticism, and perfectionist. Dissatisfaction and unhappy about himself and family environment. Immaturity and maladjustment. Thinks that foreign ideas are better than his own. Depression. It is interesting to analyze the signature and rubric if the cross-out is in the rubric or in the last name or the initial of the same, given that interpretations vary.
• Parallel lines signature: Persisting personality and inflexible will. The more solid the lines, the greater inflexible and unilateral progress and also the greater the energy allocated to achieve a goal that has been set. Shows desire of following a strict line of conduct. Search for security and protection with barriers so as not to be deviated from his goals.
• Crossing-over-stroke signature: Contradiction in ideas. Does not achieve uniform thinking, fighting spirit. Opposes to everything. Changes in character that do not allow him to show himself clearly and getting across. Changes from defensive to offensive. This makes relationships difficult for him.
• Unnecessary period: Reflection, verifying caution, wishes for perfectionist execution. Distrust for the future.
• Signature that includes a final stroke that descends vertically: Vivacity for reflexes and thinking. Ability for assertion of his own personality. Self-assertion of independence. Qualities of leadership. Great authority. Intolerance to response or disobedience. Traits of a critic father. Rejects foreign ideas and supports his own.

• Signature that underlines the top: Protection against foreign ideas and desire to hide his own. Impatience and desire to dominate. Alive temper might turn into violent.
• Signature angled to the right: Individual that reacts aggressively towards others with fast replies to insinuation. Fast and convincing determinations. Resentment towards others.
• Signature angled to the left: Aggressive, resolved and determined spirit. Tougher with family members than with the rest. Resentment is towards himself or with the close ones. The sharper and rigid the angles, the more antipathy and aversion.
