Writing reveals the unconscious

There are all kinds of writing, big or small,

simple or circumvented, heavy or airy, but you

Our writing, from the moment it took its form
definitive, whether into adolescence, follows us throughout our
life. Depending on the circumstances, it will take on various forms.
forms (for example, we do not write a note of
urgent service like how to write a letter to the
beloved person), but essentially, that is to say so much
that it is not altered by age or illness, it is
there, permanently installed, linked to our personality.
It is partly for this reason that it is permissible to say
that writing or, better yet, the graphic gesture,
reveals our unconscious. Think about it: our hand,
when she draws signs on the paper, is directly
linked to our brain; it aims, in a certain
measure, the faithful translator of his thought. How the
result, therefore, could it not reflect our
personality and our instincts?

How is writing formed?

3 major factors are taken into consideration in the

writing formation. The first of all is called the
temperament.
Temperament results from the internal balance of our
different exchanges : hormonal, nervous and
glandular. These different exchanges, in turn, influence
necessarily on the functioning of our
brain. They form, in a way, the foundation
physiological from which the brain will be able to
operate.
The second factor is the education we have.
received.
It goes without saying that a good education promotes the
development of the motor and intellectual abilities of the individual. It
imprints its mark, not only on the way to
to think, but also on how to act. On the plan of
the graphical expression, this generally translates to
a clearer, more refined writing.

On the contrary, a rather lax education, which has not

one knows: gestures and attitudes without much
refinement, and thus, a writing (since this is
a gesture) of a very often overlooked aspect.
One last factor, finally, and not the least important: the

Among us, we have learned to write. It follows that
that our learning of writing depends a lot
of the quality of the training received. The more it has been
long, called upon all the faculties of our
intellect, the more our writing will bear its marks.
In other words, the graphic gesture is
the expression of our SELF.

The meaning of the graphic gesture

Imagine that writing is a bit like an electro-

electroencephalogram reflecting brain activity and
the pulsion of a person. Writing therefore reveals the
content of the unconscious, that is to say, on a more
practice, the natural trends at work in
each individual.
By natural tendencies, we mean instincts and the
psychic dispositions.
Instincts are of course the product of our differences.
physiological exchanges. Or if you prefer, they are the
fruit of our strengths and internal weaknesses.
Are we suffering from a hormonal disease or from a
glandular insufficiency? It goes without saying that this will have a
influence on our temperament. Because of this, we

genetics (that which is within the realm of the conceivable,
as you may have read in the newspapers), this part
will never leave us again. She will remain unfailingly
tied to our personality.
The mental dispositions, on the other hand, pertain to
the realm of the innate and the realm of the acquired.
They are, if you will, the product of our
education and all of our intellectual faculties.

Among the mental dispositions, let's include intelligence.

moral values, the power of will and,
finally, the habits.

You see, therefore, that writing covers a very vast

field of personality, otherwise the entire field itself.
By learning to read what is hidden behind a simple
missive, for example, you will be able to distinguish,
at first glance, a technical mind of a literary mind,
an artist's temperament of a temperament of ma-
thematician.
Writing (the graphic gesture), do not forget, is a
fixed data for each individual. It has a
automatic character, which makes it a
true means of psychic detection. Qualities,
defects, tendencies, everything shows through in these little
signs what you are called à decipher

The fields of application of graphology

in front of the courts. It does not have evidentiary status

often that adolescence is the age of the greats

These upheavals are of course of all kinds, but

they are related to emotional life.

The stroke and the tracing

In graphological analysis, you will learn to

distinguish 2 essential things: the line and the drawing.
The stroke and the line are, in a way, the beams of
support of graphology.
1. By TRAIT, we mean the
consistency and thickness. The line can be fuzzy, light,
pressed, pasty, protruding, flat. It indicates the
fundamental elements of individual temperament.
2. The TRACE, on the other hand, is comparable
to the shape and the drawing. It is sometimes orderly,
progressive, harmonious, or distorted, disorganized,
discordant. It indicates the direction of thought, the use
what the subject does with their faculties, their behavior
social.

The trait: the clep to know how to distinguish a

positive writing of a negative writing

Making this distinction is relatively easy. With

a little training, you will get there very quickly.
First, learn to master this essential aspect of
the analysis of a writing. It is already very revealing in itself.
Here, the basic principle is as follows: a so-called writing

of energy.
A writing will be considered positive if the stroke
corresponds to one or more of the following epithets
fast, supported, straight and/or clear.

A writing whose stroke will clearly be slow, light,

curved or pasty will be considered negative.

will encourage you to refine your judgment.

A simple example: if you find yourself, within the

same writing, a pasty stroke (negative element) allied with
a quick trait (positive element), you will be forced to
conclude that the subject's sensuality weakens more or less
his activity. Hence possible psychological conflicts
between instincts and will.
