Handwriting Analysis (Graphology)

One can know the characteristics of an individual through his/her handwriting. It is called Graphology. I came across this methodology on my last trip to Bangalore. It is quite interesting though controversial as well. Even though controversial it is still worthwhile to have knowledge. So I looked around on Amazon for most useful books on the subject and got hold of this one depicted in the picture. Author is Andrea Mc Nichol. Quite easy to follow book with many exercises to see for yourself while you read.
Things to analyze in writing are:
Slant
Size
Spacing
Margin
Pressure
Baseline
Type of writing ( Printing or Connected)
Speed
Upper/Middle and Lower Zone
Connecting strokes
Signatures

Very interesting insights revealed from the book. I would recommend it to read and have fun analyzing writing you may come across anytime. Oh ya ! Start first with your own to check the correctness. Some characteristics may come out as blind spots so ask those close to you if they feel the same :).
