The issue we are attempting to resolve is the uncertainty surrounding the accuracy and validity of graphology as a way of predicting personality traits. While graphology has been used for centuries to examine handwriting and draw inferences about a person's personality, there is still a major lack of scientific data to support these claims. Critics say that handwriting analysis lacks scientific support and is subjective, but supporters feel that particular patterns in handwriting may offer deep insights into one's mental state.

Our research attempts to fulfill this gap by thoroughly assessing whether various aspects of handwriting such as letter slant, pressure, size, spacing, and flow can dependably correspond to established personality traits. By investigating how these physical characteristics relate to characteristics of personality such as those described in the Big Five personality model (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism), we hope to provide more evidence-based conclusions about graphology's predictive power.

Finally, we believe that our research will provide a better understanding of whether graphology may be used as a valid technique for personality analysis or remains a pseudoscience. Our findings may have consequences for psychological assessments, hiring processes, and even self-awareness in understanding one's personality.

 

METHOD:

Data Collection Source: We will analyze handwriting samples from 100 participants, sourced from the public handwriting database CSAFE Handwriting Database.

Provided Prompts: The writing samples are consistent and come from the same standardized prompts to ensure comparability. These prompts include:

• Prompt 1: The London Letter (descriptive, business letter style)
• Prompt 2: Excerpt from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (narrative, literary style)
• Prompt 3: A common phrase ("The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese")

GRAPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS:

We will analyze key handwriting features that have been previously linked to personality traits. These include:

• Slant: The angle of the letters (left or right), which may indicate emotional state or social behavior (e.g., introversion vs. extroversion).
• Pressure: The heaviness or lightness of the writing, which may suggest emotional intensity or stress levels.
• Letter Formation: The shape and form of letters, which may relate to creativity, organization, or introversion.
• Size and Spacing: Larger handwriting could indicate extroversion or self-importance, while smaller handwriting may reflect introversion or attention to detail.
• Baseline: Whether the writing slants up or down, which could indicate optimism or pessimism, respectively.

DATA ANALYSIS:

We will analyze a large collection of handwriting samples from the database, correlating handwriting features with known personality traits. By categorizing the data based on personality traits, we can identify patterns and correlations between handwriting features like slant, pressure, size, and spacing. This database-driven approach allows for statistical analysis, such as determining whether individuals with certain personality traits consistently exhibit specific handwriting features.

RESULTS INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION:

The results will focus on determining the correlation between handwriting features and personality traits. We will identify patterns that could suggest specific handwriting characteristics are linked to particular traits. By refining the accuracy of handwriting analysis, we aim to explore whether handwriting analysis can be a reliable predictive tool for identifying personality traits.

 

 

INTRODUCTION TO GRAPHOLOGY : 

Definition of graphology : inferences made solely based on a person's handwriting. The belief that one's handwriting is an expression of their identity/personality. Many fields use graphology, such as forensics, psychology, and even career counseling. 

 

• Graphology is a pseudoscience 
• What is pseudoscience? 

What seems to be science but lacks evidence, methodology, or rigor to meet the standard of a real scientific field. Practices rely on trends and patterns between test subjects or writings. 

 

Graphology CANNOT predict the future, but it can show signals as to what may happen. Usually it is used to prove or study current subjects and theories between individuals. 

“Graphology is brainwriting” as the brain sends signals to the muscles to perform the task. 

History of graphology : 

When, where and how did it start? 

• For centuries people have noticed that handwriting and personality were linked 
• Back in the 500 BC Confucius had stated “Beware of a man whose writing sways like a reed” indicating that an individual that does that is to avoid 
• But handwriting didn’t start to be analyzed until the 17th century methodically and SERIOUSLY 
• In 1622 the first book to analyze was realized it being named “How to recognise from a letter the nature and quality of a writer’, by Camillo Baldi (1550 –1637)

Historical revolution of graphology : 

1. 5000 years ago : In Sanskrit in Ancient Hindu Manuscript : was a manuscript that displayed many techniques to interpret ones character 

 

2. 1060-1110 AD : Kuo Jo Hsu, a chinese philosopher and a painter of the sung period had said the handwriting of a person never fails to show the differences between a noble person and a vulgar person, suggesting that reflects deeper aspects of personality intelligence, or social status 

 

3. Around 1000 BC, Japanese scholars suggested that a person's character could be reflected in the way they form lines and strokes in writing

 

4. 500 BC - For centuries people have noticed that handwriting and personality were linked Back in the 500 BC Confucius had stated “Beware of a man whose writing sways like a reed” indicating that an individual that does that is to avoid 

 

5. 300 BC - Aristotle Spoken words reflect thoughts, and written words reflect speech—meaning writing is an extension of the mind. His statement aligns with the foundational idea of graphology: that handwriting is a personal and distinctive trait shaped by one’s mental and emotional state.

 

6. Around 120 AD, the Roman historian Suetonius Tranquillus observed Emperor Augustus' handwriting and noted In graphology, cramped, crowded writing is sometimes linked to possessiveness, control, or an unwillingness to share space or resources. However, other handwriting traits must be considered for a full interpretation.

 

7. In ancient Rome, Emperor Nero is said to have become wary of a certain court member, stating : This suggests that even in ancient times, people associated handwriting style with personality and character judgment.

 

8. Historical records suggested that handwriting analysis was a thing between european monasteries as part of scholarly study : this laid the foundation for further handwriting analysis in the future + Walter Raleigh was also one of the contributors for this analysis 

 

9. 1622 - the Printing Press established the first ever book on handwriting analysis It was written by Camille Baldo, an Italian doctor of medicine and philosophy and a professor at the University of Bologna. The book's complex style made it difficult to understand, so it gained little public attention.

 

10. In 1792 - J Charles Grohmann a German philosopher published a written work saying, “‘Examination of the possibility of inferring character from Handwriting’.

 

• Thomas Gainsborough kept a sample of his subject’s handwriting on the easel while painting their portrait, believing it helped him tap into the true essence of their personality. He saw handwriting as a reflection of character, enhancing his ability to capture the sitter's inner nature.
• In his work Chronicles of Canongate, Sir Walter Scott believed the exclusion of i-dots to be a sign of genius. However, this conclusion is misleading, as missing i-dots typically suggests disinterest in details and absentmindedness, traits that may appear in highly creative individuals but do not necessarily equate to genius.
• Goethe and Johann Kasper Lavater corresponded extensively about handwriting analysis, with Goethe believing it revealed character and the human mind. Lavater noted the analogy between speech, walking, and writing, perhaps unknowingly recognizing handwriting as a form of "body language."

 

11. In 1830, over two centuries after Camille Baldo’s book, Abbé Flandrin, a philosophy teacher, and Abbé Jean-Hippolyte Michon, a priest and archaeologist, founded a school dedicated to handwriting interpretation.

 

12.  1836 - Edgar Allan Poe, known for his psychological mysteries, wrote Chapter on autography in 1836, later republished in 1926, which is now considered an early classic in handwriting analysis. Though lacking formal training, Poe saw himself as a practicing graphologist, but often used it to express personal biases, such as his unfair and inaccurate analysis of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who had criticized his work. 

 

13. 1895 - In 1895, German physiologist Wilhelm Preyer made a significant contribution to handwriting analysis by discovering that writing with the left hand, right hand, toes, and even teeth showed remarkable similarities. Studying war victims, he concluded that writing originates in the brain, coining the term "brain writing" to emphasize its neurological basis. 

 

14. 1899 - graphology became controversial in France when it was used in court cases, especially in the Dreyfus affair. Alphonse Bertillon, who was not a real handwriting expert, wrongly claimed that Alfred Dreyfus wrote a document proving his guilt, which led to Dreyfus being unfairly sentenced to life in prison on Devil’s Island.

 

• Around the same time in England, Sir William Herschel, a pioneer of fingerprint testing, became interested in graphology. He believed that handwriting analysis was just as important for understanding personality as fingerprints would become for solving crimes.

 

• Crépieux-Jamin, a dentist from Rouen, greatly advanced graphology, moving beyond his teacher Michon’s simplistic approach of analyzing single letters. He argued that handwriting traits must be interpreted together, leading him to develop a holistic approach that considered rhythm, fluency, size, and overall style. His research, spanning 50 years, resulted in the 1929 masterpiece ABC de la graphologie, where he classified 175 handwriting features into seven categories.

 

• Sigmund Freud said ““There is no doubt that men express their character through their handwriting.”
• Max Pulver, a Swiss professor and psychologist, applied Freud, Adler, and Jung's psychological theories to handwriting analysis. In Symbolism of Handwriting (1940), he introduced the theory of space symbolism, emphasizing the importance of the upper, middle, and lower zones in writing.

 

15. Professor Rudolf Pophal (1893–1966), a neurologist and psychiatrist, studied how the brain’s motor centers influence handwriting. He identified four brain bio-types, showing that while handwriting’s content is conscious, its movement is driven by deep emotional processes in the brain.

 

16. Werner Wolff, a German experimental psychologist, studied handwriting rhythm and subconscious personality traits. In Diagrams of the Unconscious (1948), he argued that handwriting reveals both conscious thoughts and hidden unconscious patterns.

 

17. Albert Schweitzer, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1952, strongly believed in the validity of graphology and was a member of the Société de Graphologie de Paris.

 

 

 

Limitations and controversies in using graphology as a scientific tool.

• Lack of scientific evidence : numerous studies 
• Other more dominant ways to figure out personality 

 

SUMMARY : 

**Summary of Introduction to Graphology**  

**Definition & Use:**  

Graphology is the study of handwriting to infer personality traits. It is used in fields like forensics, psychology, and career counseling.  

 

**Graphology as a Pseudoscience:**  

It appears scientific but lacks rigorous evidence and methodology. It relies on trends and patterns rather than proven scientific principles. While it cannot predict the future, it may offer insights into a person's current state.  

 

**Historical Development:**  

- **Ancient Observations:** As early as **500 BC**, Confucius linked handwriting to character. Aristotle (300 BC) suggested writing reflects thoughts.  

- **Medieval & Early Modern Analysis:** Handwriting analysis was noted in **Roman history**, European monasteries, and **Japan (1000 BC)**. The first formal book on graphology was published in **1622** by Camillo Baldi.  

- **19th-20th Century Advances:** Psychologists and neurologists, including **Freud, Wilhelm Preyer, and Max Pulver**, studied handwriting’s psychological basis. Handwriting was also controversially used in court cases, such as the **Dreyfus affair (1899)**.  

 

**Scientific Controversies & Limitations:**  

- **Lack of Empirical Evidence:** Graphology lacks scientific backing and is considered unreliable.  

- **Alternative Personality Assessments:** Modern psychology uses more validated methods, such as personality tests, rather than handwriting analysis. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What parts of their handwriting are we looking for?  

• General layout

• Direction of lines
• Degree of connection
• Regularity
• Rhythm (or evenness)
• Degree of broadness
• Speed of writing
• Form of letters
• Covering of space
• Shading
• Angle of writing (slope)
• Right and left tendencies
• Spacing
• Degree of attention
• Pressure
• Decoration/distortion

 

Doesn't matter what body part they write with, you can still tell where its coming from because of their “mental book”/mind

 

2 basic tenants of handwriting : no one writes the same way twice, no 2 people write completely the same

 

Graphology used for organisational processes : recruitment, interviewing and selection, team-building, counselling, and career planning.

What to consider before analyzing text? 

 

Is the sample valid? Has the writing sample been influenced or disrupted in any way? An uneven surface for writing, an environment which changes the way the text looks. As you cannot analyze a text which is unreliable 

 

Age and handwriting : 

 

Children: Their handwriting is often large, uneven, and less controlled as they develop fine motor skills. It gradually becomes more structured with practice.

Young Adults: Typically have the most stable and consistent handwriting, reflecting confidence, energy, and cognitive sharpness.

Middle-Aged Individuals: Handwriting may become more refined, smaller, or more controlled, showing maturity, responsibility, and efficiency.

Elderly Individuals: Handwriting can become shakier, less consistent, or larger due to declining motor control, weaker muscles, or cognitive changes. Some may write slower with more spacing due to reduced dexterity.

 

Right or left hand - 

• Right-Handed Writers: Often seen as logical, structured, and analytical. They may prefer order and tradition, relying on systematic thinking and organization.
• Left-Handed Writers: Associated with creativity, independence, and unconventional thinking. They may be more emotionally expressive, adaptable, and open to new ideas.
• Ambidextrous Writers: Tend to be flexible, unpredictable, and versatile. They may have a balance of logic and creativity but can also struggle with decisiveness or consistency.

 

Size- 

• How is size measured? Capital letters, middle area, upper extensions, and lower extensions

• Many aspects to size (relative size to letter parts)
• Small writing is an indicator of detailed technical personality 
• Large sized writing indicate a friendly and sociable personality
• How the person reacts with their surroundings 
• In huge, excessively large, small, tiny, microscopic
• Handwriting samples done on the same paper
• Sizes can depend on mood 
• Graphologists measure many samples of writing since the sizes may vary due to the task they are completing with the writing ex. Writing on a  postcard may be smaller than a poster.
• Is a person's handwriting always the same? Depending on mood people may write little or large time-to time 
• Writing done on a blank sheet of paper symbolizes their entire world, as they have no lines to base their writing off of. 
•  then whether a person’s writing is expansive or confined indicates whether he reaches out to his surroundings and other people
• Reveals writers current concentration capacity 

What does Large Handwriting indicate? 

Traits:

• Gregarious (outgoing) in public places, have expansive movements
• Large writing involves broad, sweeping gestures, creating a script that naturally stands out and captures attention
• Be socially extraverted, wanting attention from others is shown throughout large handwriting 
• Extroversion, outgoing nature, or a desire to be noticed.

• Confidence and ambition.
• In some cases, a need for attention or dominance.

• People with large handwriting may be more social, bold, or expressive.
• It can also suggest someone who enjoys being the center of attention or has strong leadership qualities.
• Demonstrate a need for space in their lives
• Yearn to go to many places and cover a lot of terrain
• Do not want to be restricted to a small space 
• Not in a mood to stay in the same place in their life for a long time
• Learn to earn the approval of people at a subconscious level (don’t realize it)
• Making themselves appear larger than their environment, overachiever 
• Creates an unintentional link between size of handwriting and greatness
• “Take a look at me. I’m a huge and influential person. I want you to realize how impressive I am.”
• Tendency to see things on a big scale, tasks that others would consider impossible 
• Well dressed individuals that take large steps, speak loudly and appear to burst the scene 
• People who write in large letters that span the page demonstrate a need for space in their lives.

What does Small Handwriting indicate?

• Introversion is associated with small writing
• To write small you have to restrict your hand to a narrow level
• Isn’t reaching out to others in a big way 
• Introversion, focus, or a reserved nature.
• Attention to detail and precision.
• Sometimes linked to modesty or shyness.

• Small handwriting is often associated with people who are diligent, concentrated, and prefer intellectual pursuits.
• It may also indicate someone who is comfortable working behind the scenes.
• Confining themselves into a small space by themselves 
• Require shutting on internal stimuli, allowing themselves to fully concentrate on their writing 
• Person that feels withdrawn from social activities may way write in small letters 
• Diminishes his contact with the outer world 
• When they are focused medium sized handwriting people may write in small writing 
• This is because when you are concentrated you block out your surroundings and focus on your writing letting it be small and concise  
• Between 5-10% people whose handwriting is small they all feel insignificant in a way 
• They perceive themselves as inferior to others 
• This is shown in their handwriting shows their insecurity in small sloppy letters
• As a result they become shy and humble 

Medium-Sized Handwriting

• Balance and adaptability.

• A mix of extroversion and introversion.

• Medium-sized handwriting suggests a well-rounded personality, someone who is social when necessary but also values privacy.
• Can navigate both public and private situations carefully 
• Amazing communication skills, without being too reserved or overdoing 
• Reliable, stable and grounded 
• Equilibrium between emotions and behaviour 
• Adjusts their personality based on the situation, may be manipulative 

Fluctuating Size

• Handwriting with inconsistent size where letters vary in size and height 
• Relating to emotional variability and changing states of mind 
• Frequent changes in writing may indicate someone who goes through mood swings or fluctuating emotions 
• Indicate external influences or internal struggles 
• May also show a creative mind , with a tendency to think outside of the box 
• These individuals are resistant and used to change allowing to adapt to new experiences faster 
• Or in contrast could show somebody who struggles to focus, discipline or maintaining routines 
• Due to impulsivity and easily distracted nature 
• In some cases it could symbolize stress or fatigue 
• Emotional variability or mood swings.
• A creative or adaptable nature.
• If the size of handwriting changes frequently, it may indicate someone who is inconsistent or easily influenced by emotions or external circumstances.

 

Letter-word slope- 

• Is there a consistent slope? 
• Backwards slopes indicate an introverted personality
• Forward strokes are extroverted 
• Upright strokes indicate a personality who is motivated by factors other than people, (ie neither extrovert nor introvert)
• The slope mainly describes how introverted/extroverted the individual is
• The amount of consistency explains how emotionally stable the person is 
• Slant and emotional responsiveness and expressions are linked together 
• 3 types of slants : left, upright, and right slants 
•  

Left slant

•  (backwards) indicates : emotional withdrawal and abides by a self protective (reserved) perspective 

• The circumstances must be right for these type of people to be nice or generous 
• Feel safe before coming out of their shells 
• Fixation with childhood memories  
• Display a false exterior to the world keeping in their true self 

 

Upright slant 

•  Desire to be self-sufficient
• Makes decisions without being swayed by heart 
• their head is in charge over his heart 
• Thoughtful contemplations before making decisions 
• Less impulsive than people with slants 

 

Right slant 

• Writes faster than other slants : rash/impulsive decisions 
• Emotionally expressive behaviour

 

Baseline slant-line construction procedure : 

• Used first in the 1930s 
• Consistent method of analyzing 
• Measuring responsiveness expressiveness and the relation to the slant of writing 
• Steps : 

1. Make a baseline for each letter and create a line going upwards from the baseline corresponding to the slant of the letter 
2. Mark the range by creating a line that follows the slant   

A : extreme leftward slant 

B : leftward slant 

C : upright form 

D : Rightwards slant 

E : extreme rightwards slant 

 

Flow - 

• In essence, the frequency of pen lifts during writing is thought to reflect underlying personality characteristics or tendencies.
• Eager impulsive people have a more continuous flow of writing (this is why most convicts will be writing in cursive, since they will not pick up their writing utensil as much) 
• Thoughtful people : no or very few linked words, the letters will not be touching
• Contrastingly artistic people will have NO linked words, as they are conceptual 

 

Spacing - 

• Spacing indicates social attitude, how social you are
• Close words/closer word spacing indicates sociability and comfortableness
• And largely spaced words indicates people distrust, and uncomfortableness
• Spacing between letters show artistic qualities 

 

Decoration and distortion - 

• Decoration is INTENDED 
• Distortion is UNINTENTIONAL
• Both are different to unfinished letters 
• Decoration or “overdoing” indicated that the writers wants a false self image to be shown “shown better than the state you currently are at”
• Unfinished words indicate laziness and unintelligence

 

 

Upper Case (Tall Letters)

• Includes the extended up-strokes in tall letters like b, d, f, h, l, t.

• Represents: Higher-level thinking, aspirations, ambitions, and intellectual pursuits.

• Example: If the upper case is prominent (very tall or emphasized), it might suggest someone who is idealistic, goal-oriented, or focused on achievements.

Central Case (Middle Letters)

• Includes letters without tall up-strokes or long down-strokes like a, c, e, m, n, o.
• Represents: Everyday life, social interactions, and emotional balance.
• Example: If the central case is dominant, it may indicate a practical, grounded, or socially-focused personality.

Lower Case (Letters with Down-Strokes)

• Includes extended down-strokes in letters like g, j, p, q, y.
• Represents: Instincts, physical desires, and material or subconscious drives.
• Example: If the lower case is emphasized, it might reflect someone who is grounded, sensual, or focused on physical needs.

 

Pressure : 

• Called graphic pressure, relating to how much force is added while writing 
• Some people barely touch the pencil to the paper, while others use a lot of force 
• This causes people to have either clean nice strokes or thick and messy handwriting 
• Includes many depending factors such as : the writing utensil ( pen, pencil, ink,) the paper quality, and the surface, environmental conditions, 

What does the pressure of strokes indicate ? 

• The mental energy of the individual
• Our subconscious mind is not aware of how much pressure we use, it tends to just flow with our state of mind and how much energy we have 
• Too much pressure or way too little pressure can indicate disorders or health problems 
• Standard and normal pressure shows health

Firm handwriting pressure : 

• Clear movements and strokes 
• Dynamic and no inflections of direction
• Logical thinking, concentration, introversion
• Security, stability, control-oriented
• Dominant personality, firm but not seeking dominance
• Resistant to change
• Higher tension = more physical dynamism
• Emotional tension buildup
• Sudden, violent, or disproportionate reactions
• Possible intense anger, aggression, or abrupt behavior

Loose pressure : 

• Twisted, swinging, or curved movements
• Strokes may have angles but lack tension
• Lack of firmness, weak inclination to act
• Low energy, poor resistance to change
• Greater imagination, childish personality traits
• Instability, insecurity, dependency
• Sometimes communicative and extroverted
• Linked to lymphatic temperament ( avoidant low-energy ) 

Soft pressure : 

• Curved movements with little pressure
• Often associated with descending lines
• Loops form a “C” shape
• Adaptable, sociable, patient, sweet, loyal, and passive
• May display small angles at letter bases, tops, or above "t"
• Soft individuals can still be stubborn
• Weak energy leads to frequent refusals ("No" to everything)
• Lower intellect correlates with greater stubbornness

Alternating from tense to loose handwriting : 

• Some areas are tense and others are loose 
• Including the loops in the letters 
• This suggests a personality with contradictions, such as being firm in some aspects of life but passive or adaptable in others.
• When tension fluctuates in between letters it is harder to interpret, indicating inconsistencies in behaviour 

Deep pressure handwriting : 

• Can be felt on the back of the sheet.
• Leaves grooves or indentations, sometimes even breaks in the paper.
• Visible under magnification.
• Energy & Endurance: High energy levels, perseverance, and strong work ethic.
• Mental Processing: Slower handwriting speed correlates with deep thinking and logical reasoning.
• Personality Traits: Decisive, independent, introverted but capable of social interaction.
• Creativity: deep pressure suggests strong creative activity.
• Health Indicator: Often linked to good physical and mental resilience.

 

some other indicators

• Larger broad loops : a lot of emotion
• Right lower loops : sense of interest for others (good)
• Left pulled lower loops : fond of the past 
• Uneven upper loops : changeable satisfaction (easy to switch what they enjoy around)
• Full left loops : desire and fulfillment of physical self 
• Closed e’s and other small letters : show secrecy 
• Properly formed s’s at the end of words show independence 
• Word-end s’s where top of letter is formed into a downward right loop show a yielding or co-operative nature.
• Angular central letters such as sharp “m and e” show fascination in ideas rather than people (less empathic and more determined) 
•  In contrast, the rounded central case shows interest in people.
• Uncompleted case letters, eg ‘a’s, ‘b’s etc., (open when they would normally be joined loops) shows a loud mouthed person, easier to gossip
• Small writing is generally a sign of technical personality.
• Loops in letters/words which are angular show difficult people

• People who forget to put their ‘i’ dots and ‘t’ cross strokes shows forgetfulness or carelessness.

CONNECTION TO THE BRAIN : 

 

What part of the brain is working while handwriting? 

The process of formulating physical handwriting lights up different parts of the human brain, including parts that are responsible for language, cognition, memory, visual processing, planning and controlling, and making association between unrelated concepts. These parts of the brain are called the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, Broca’s area, posterior cortex, and the hippocampus. 

 

 

• Brain is central computer that send signals down your spine to different parts of the body the spines nerves branch out sending these signals 
• When u feel a sensation in your nerves, your brain tells you what actions to take after
• Fast paced neurological process
• Handwriting is brainwriting 
• When a person writes 85-90% of brain cells are activated 
• Making it easier to understand what's happening in their brain through their handwriting
• Theory: Changing handwriting formations with consistent effort can lead to personality changes.
• Changes in actions, causes changes in thoughts, which will drive desired changes in personality 

 

FMRI STUDIES : 

  Basics : 

• Writing engages multiple parts of the brain , mostly in the left hemisphere 
• Key areas include the premotor cortex, parietal cortex, fusiform gyrus 
• Handwriting more brain areas than typing
• Good writers : efficient activation patterns 
• FMRI is used to diagnose people with dyslexia and dysgraphia 
• Dyslexia is word blindness, affects reading and writing 
• Dysgraphia is a learning disability which fractures the ability to write coherently 

 

Brain regions and jobs : 

 

Left premotor cortex : motor control : control of writing 

Left superior parietal cortex : spatial processing : ability to interpret and manipulate information 

Left fusiform gyrus : Visual word recognition 

Exner’s area : writing movement memory 

 

How does a fmri work? 

A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a brain imaging method, which displays the brain activity in motion, works by detecting changes in blood flow and oxygen levels throughout the brian 

 

This works because : 

• When an area in the brain has more activity it requires more oxygen 
• To bring the oxygen it causes more blood flow in the area 
• The fMRI detects the increased amount of blood flow in the area 
• The scanner then creates images showing what parts are more active 

 

How does the fMRI do it? 

By using magnetic fields and radio waves to then create the images, although it doesn’t use radiation which causes it to be safer than other brain scans 

Brain areas involved in writing :  

 

Left premotor cortex : for the controlling of hand movements while writing : 

The premotor cortex, located in front of the primary motor cortex, is responsible for planning and organizing movements. Neuronal activity in the prefrontal and premotor areas occurs before activation of the primary motor cortex and spinal cord. The cerebellum assists in movement planning (ascending pathways) and execution (descending pathways). Simple movements use the opposing primary motor and sensory areas, while complex movements engage additional regions, including the inferior prefrontal cortex and supplementary motor area in both hemispheres. The premotor cortex contains mirror neurons, which activate during both performing and observing actions. The supplementary motor area is more involved in internally guided or imagined movements, where the premotor cortex is active in externally guided actions.

To sum up : The premotor cortex helps plan and organize movements before the body actually moves. It also has special "mirror neurons" that activate when a person moves or watches someone else move.

Superior Parietal cortex : Spatial processing and letter formation - the ability to interpret information : The parietal cortex is a key brain region involved in processing sensory information and coordinating movement. It sits behind the frontal lobe and above the occipital lobe. The primary somatosensory cortex (SI), located in the postcentral gyrus, is responsible for receiving touch sensations from the body, forming a map known as the sensory homunculus. The secondary somatosensory cortex (SII), found in the parietal operculum, further processes touch-related information. These sensory areas are flexible and can reorganize based on changes in how different body parts are used. Interestingly, even seeing something that suggests touch can activate the primary somatosensory cortex.

 

 To sum up : 

The parietal cortex helps the brain combine touch, movement, memory, and attention. It has special areas that sense touch and can even change based on how often different body parts are used.

 

Broca’s area : production of language and the usage of grammar  : It has neurons responsible for speech production and is situated in the frontal region of the left hemisphere. It plays a crucial role in forming articulate speech.

Also involved in language comprehension , motor related activities such as hand movements, sensorimotor learning 

 

Wernicke’s area : Language comprehension, the ability to understand different languages : motor neurons that work in the comprehension of speech, Wernicke area is found in the back part of the upper section of the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain. Lies close to the auditory cortex. Important for the comprehension of speech sounds. Speech production involves more than just muscle movements; it requires complex brain processes. Before the brain sends motor commands to move the muscles needed for speech, it first retrieves the sequence of sounds (phonemes) that make up the intended word. This process, known as phonological retrieval, allows people to recognize rhyming words without speaking them aloud. If this retrieval is disrupted, it can lead to phonemic paraphasia, where speech sounds are incorrectly selected or arranged. This condition is a key feature of both Wernicke’s aphasia and conduction aphasia. While these are classified as fluent aphasias due to normal speech flow, they still involve a speech production impairment rather than a comprehension issue. 

 

Visual cortex : visualization of written content : The visual cortex processes everything we see and is divided into five areas, each becoming more specialized as information moves through them. Neurons in these areas respond to specific visual details within their receptive fields. For example, simple cells detect edges and lines, while complex cells respond to movement and patterns by combining input from multiple receptive fields. As visual signals move through the brain, cells become more specialized, helping us recognize familiar objects instantly and process spatial information efficiently.

 

Hippocampus : memory retrieval : The hippocampus is a key brain structure involved in memory consolidation and decision-making, but it is much more complex than a simple storage device. It is a curved, folded section of the cortex located in the medial temporal lobe and consists of three main zones: the dentate gyrus, the hippocampus proper, and the subiculum. The hippocampus is about five centimeters long and has distinct sections called the head, body, and tail. Memory processing happens in three steps: encoding, storage, and retrieval. The hippocampus, parahippocampal region, and neocortical association areas play a crucial role in these processes. Damage to these areas, especially on both sides of the brain, can cause short-term memory loss and prevent new memories from forming. The hippocampus is closely linked to the amygdala, hypothalamus, septum, and mammillary bodies, meaning stimulation in one area can influence the others. It also sends strong signals, mainly through the fornix, to the thalamus, hypothalamus, and limbic system, making it key for memory formation.

Because the hippocampus is highly sensitive to weak electrical signals, it can maintain activity and process sensory input from sight, sound, touch, and smell into memories.

 

Frontal lobe : planning and decision making : The frontal lobe is responsible for managing thinking, emotions, personality, judgment, self-control, muscle coordination, and movement. It is located at the front of the brain, just behind the forehead. This area plays a crucial role in both brain function and mental health, making it a key focus of neurological and psychological studies.

• One of the 5 lobes of your brain 
• Involves thinking or conscious action relying on the frontal lobe 

What does it do ? 

Simple and complex processing of information

Controls understanding of social norms, determine what you should or shouldn’t do 

Self control, attention span, and working memory 

Muscle movements, physical actions and speaking 

 

Left hemisphere : 

• Dominant role in writing 
• Key region : Exner’s area 
• Crucial for memory of writing movements 

 

Thinking steps in writing : 

1. Idea generation , done by frontal lobe and hippocampus to brainstorm 
2. Language processing : Broca’s and wernicke's area makes words into sentences 
3. Motor planning : premotor cortex prepares for handwriting or typing 
4. Execution : motor cortex sends signals to muscles to write physically 

 

Handwriting increases learning + memory rather than typing due to the parts of the brain being used while writing

SUMMARIZE : 

 **Summary: Handwriting and Brain Function**  

 

**Brain Areas Involved in Handwriting:**  

Handwriting activates multiple brain regions responsible for language, cognition, memory, visual processing, and motor control. Key areas include:  

- **Prefrontal Cortex & Anterior Cingulate Cortex:** Planning, decision-making, and cognitive control.  

- **Hippocampus:** Memory retrieval and storage.  

- **Broca’s & Wernicke’s Areas:** Speech production, grammar, and language comprehension.  

- **Visual Cortex:** Recognizing written words.  

- **Premotor Cortex & Superior Parietal Cortex:** Motor control and spatial processing for letter formation.  

 

**Handwriting vs. Typing:**  

Handwriting engages more brain areas than typing, improving learning and memory. Studies using fMRI scans show that handwriting activates regions across the left hemisphere, making it a more effective learning tool.  

 

**Key Findings from fMRI Studies:**  

- Writing involves the **premotor cortex, parietal cortex, and fusiform gyrus** for movement planning, spatial processing, and word recognition.  

- Good writers show **efficient activation patterns** in these brain areas.  

- fMRI scans help diagnose **dyslexia** (reading difficulty) and **dysgraphia** (writing difficulty).  

 

**How fMRI Works:**  

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging detects **blood flow and oxygen changes** in the brain, identifying active areas during writing. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of radiation, making it safer than other scans.  

 

**The Writing Process in the Brain:**  

1. **Idea Generation:** Frontal lobe and hippocampus create thoughts.  

2. **Language Processing:** Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas form sentences.  

3. **Motor Planning:** Premotor cortex prepares for handwriting.  

4. **Execution:** Motor cortex sends signals to muscles for writing.  

 

**Impact on Personality and Learning:**  

- **Handwriting is "brainwriting"**—it engages 85-90% of brain cells.  

- **Theory:** Changing handwriting patterns consistently can alter personality traits.  

- **Writing by hand improves memory and learning** more than typing due to deeper brain involvement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Similarities in personality traits and criminal behaviour : 

What are personality traits and how do they affect our behaviour: 

• Personality traits come from constant thoughts, feelings, and behaviours 
• These traits influence individuals interactions, emotions, and relation to others 

Big 5 personality traits, how psychologists sort them : 

Openness : 

• Creativity
• Curiosity 
• Willingness : new experiences 

Conscientiousness (neatness) : 

• Responsibility 
• Organization 
• And dependability 

Extraversion : 

• Sociability 
• Energy 
• And assertiveness 

Agreeableness : 

• Compassion 
• Trustworthy 
• And cooperation 

Neuroticism : 

• Emotional instability 
• Anxiety 
• Moodiness 

Personality traits and behaviour : 

• Decision making : conscientiousness allows individuals to plan carefully and make responsible choices, impulsive individuals make risky choices disregarding the consequences 
• Social interactions : extroverts seek social stimulations, introverts prefer one-on-one or solitude 
• Handling stress : people with neuroticism feel anxious or overwhelmed under pressure, emotionally stable people deal with situations more calmly 
• Work and academic performances :  conscientiousness individuals, more neat and reliable leading to success, open individuals lead into creative fields

 

Can personalities change? Stay relatively the same, but may change over experiences life experiences or personal growth. 

Aggression and exploitation become the primary themes of their personality.

They learn early on to take what they want without taking other people into considerations. 

Once this mentality is well established, committing crimes turns into a compulsive behaviour that people repeatedly engage in.

 

What are criminal personality traits ? 

• Usually referred as criminogenic needs, or risk factors 
• Criminal behaviour starts with the biology and the genetics of the  person 
• Can be determined in the conception stage 
• Parents can transfer these personality traits + which means they might have possessed the potential to become a criminal 
• The genes these parents have affect their parenting style, affecting the child making it more likely for them to proceed criminal behaviour 
• Genes define an individual's ability : control temperament, impulsivity, low-self esteem, and lack of empathy
• Physical + physiological traits in genes passed to generations 
• Biggest concern in genes : substance abuse → leads to criminal behaviour 

 

8-6 identified criminal traits (some felons possess all 8 and some possess up to 6 )

 

• Anti-social values : criminal thought and the conviction that criminal action is appropriate. People with this tendency blame others for their bad deeds and show no remorse. 
• Criminal peers : People that show this characteristic often have peers who are involved in criminal activity. The majority frequently engage in substance misuse, such as abusing alcohol or drugs. People are frequently influenced by their peers to commit crimes. Additionally, they will usually demonstrate a lack of beneficial civic engagement. 
• Antisocial personality : Unusual behaviour that occurs before the age of fifteen often has one of these characteristics. Examples include running away, skipping school, fighting, carrying weapons, lying, stealing, and causing harm to property or animals.

Research shows that people who break laws often have certain personality traits. They tend to be:

• Self-centered: Focused only on themselves and their needs.
• Hostile: Angry or unfriendly towards others.
• Unconventional: They may reject society’s rules or beliefs.
• Impulsive: They act without thinking about the consequences.

 

• Dysfunctional family : Lack of emotional and other family support is one of the most common features.   A person's family frequently struggles with communication and lacks the ability to solve problems. Family members often do not have the skill to appropriately express their feelings. The majority of the time, they are also engaged in criminal behaviour.
• Low self control : It has to do with being able to control impulsivity and temperament. Individuals with this personality trait frequently behave without planning and don't always consider their actions before taking them. The focus is on the present moment rather than the results of the actions.
• Substance abuse : the use of alcohol or drugs that severely impairs one's potential to lead a prosperous and successful life. In addition to an unwillingness to quit using substances, there is frequently an increasing tolerance to them.
• Psychopathy : The personality condition known as psychopathy is defined by bold, unrestricted and egocentric qualities, as well as continuous antisocial behaviour and a lack of empathy and regret. pathological lying, superficial charm, and a lack of empathy, is frequently used to evaluate it.

Although not all psychopaths are criminals : psychopathic traits succeed in careers like business, politics, or law enforcement, using their traits to gain power or success without committing crimes.

 

​​There are four types of personality puzzles:

1. High control – High friendship: People who like to be in charge but are also friendly.
2. Low control – Low friendship: People who don’t like rules and don’t get along with others.
3. High control – Low friendship: People who like to be in charge but don’t care about making friends.
4. Low control – High friendship: People who don’t like to be in charge but are very friendly.

Studies show that people who are (high control–low friendship) are more likely to be mean to others or break rules. They don’t care about how other people feel, which can lead them to do bad things.

Differences from Non-Offenders: Compared to people who don’t commit crimes, offenders are:

• Less sociable: They struggle to form close relationships.
• More aggressive: They are more likely to use violence or intimidation.
• Sensation seekers: They enjoy risky or exciting experiences.
• Higher in neuroticism: They experience more mood swings, anxiety, or emotional instability.
• Higher in psychoticism: They may be more cold, antisocial, or detached from reality.

 

Similar behaviours shown through criminals : 

•  Behaviour makes up a person 
• Thought pattern also makes up a person
• Criminal behaviour comes from abnormal thinking patterns 
• Constant lying
• Failed to develop empathy

 

SUMMARIZE : 

Summary: Similarities in Personality Traits and Criminal Behavior

Personality Traits and Behavior:
Personality traits are consistent patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that shape how individuals interact with others. Psychologists classify them using the Big Five Personality Traits:

• Openness: Creativity and curiosity
• Conscientiousness: Responsibility and organization
• Extraversion: Sociability and assertiveness
• Agreeableness: Compassion and cooperation
• Neuroticism: Emotional instability and anxiety

These traits affect decision-making, social interactions, stress management, and work performance. While personality remains mostly stable, life experiences can lead to changes over time.

Criminal Personality Traits:
Criminal behavior can stem from biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Certain traits, called criminogenic needs, make people more prone to crime, including:

• Anti-social values: Blaming others and showing no remorse
• Criminal peers: Associating with others who break the law
• Low self-control: Acting impulsively without thinking
• Substance abuse: Addiction leading to poor life choices
• Psychopathy: Lack of empathy, manipulation, and lying

Criminals often show patterns of self-centeredness, aggression, impulsivity, and unconventional beliefs. They struggle to form close relationships and seek out risky experiences.

Personality Patterns and Crime:
Studies show that people with high control but low friendship tendencies are more likely to break rules. Offenders tend to be less social, more aggressive, and prone to emotional instability compared to non-offenders. Their abnormal thinking patterns often lead to lying, lack of empathy, and compulsive behavior.

Understanding these personality traits helps researchers predict criminal behavior and design better crime prevention strategies.

Handwriting analysis finds regular patterns associated with personality traits. Large handwriting is frequently linked with extroversion, confidence, and a need for recognition, indicating that the person seeks attention, is socially outgoing, and may possess controlling or leadership tendencies. Small handwriting, on the other hand, indicates introversion, attention to detail, and a tendency for working behind the scenes; it is frequently associated with people who are cautious, analytical, or extremely concentrated. Medium-sized handwriting symbolizes a balance of social interaction and solitary introspection.

Slant direction plays an important part in revealing emotional state. An upright slant symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency, and logical thinking, whereas a rightward slant implies warmth, expressiveness, and emotional openness. A downward slant or dropping baseline is frequently connected with negativity, emotional difficulties, or poor energy, whereas an upward slant and ascending baseline are associated with ambition, excitement, and a positive attitude. Fluctuating slants and baselines could indicate instability, mood swings, or internal conflict.

The degree of connectivity between letters and words provides information about cognitive processes. Continuous, flowing cursive handwriting is associated with quick thinking, impulsivity, and spontaneity, whereas disjointed letters indicate a planned, serious, and independent thinker who thoroughly processes information. Closely spaced words frequently reflect sociability and a desire for connection, whereas widely spaced words can show a preference for personal space or separation from others.

The pressure applied to the page also reflects personality traits. Firm pressure refers to determination, strong willpower, and determination, whereas loose pressure implies a calm demeanour, low energy, or even indecision. Sharp, angular letters are frequently associated with anger, assertiveness, or defiance to authority, whereas smooth, rounded letters suggest a more amiable, easygoing personality. Exaggerated loops in letters like "y" and "g" may be associated with emotional expressiveness or even dishonesty, whereas small, tight loops indicate emotional control and restraint.

Chaotic or illegible handwriting, especially with unpredictable slants, varying widths, or an inconsistent baseline, is frequently connected with emotional instability, impulsivity, or carelessness.   These characteristics may be present in people who struggle with control, are overly reactive, or feel internal turmoil. In contrast, too tidy or decorative writing may reflect a desire to present a curated self-image, perfectionism, or insecurity disguised by an outward display of order.
