There is such a science as graphology, which determines the character of a person by his handwriting. But it should be noted that this science is not universal, that is, one cannot judge a person only by his handwriting. Firstly, character is a rather complicated thing, and secondly, there are also exceptions to the rules. But still, graphology gives a certain idea of ​​the character of a person.

Big, small ...

The size of the handwriting can tell how sociable a person is. Big handwriting is inherent in extroverts, such people have many friends. "Small" are usually reserved individuals who find it difficult to find mutual language with other people.

Rounded letters speak of kindness and responsiveness of a person, but angular ones are inherent in selfish natures. If, while writing, a person presses strongly on a pen (or pencil), this indicates great willpower and perseverance, but if the letters are pale, this indicates weakness and lack of confidence in their own strengths.
Calligraphic handwriting, as a rule, is observed in people who are dependent, but very disciplined and accurate. Calm and balanced natures have the correct handwriting, it is quite easy to read anything written by such people, in contrast to the handwriting of energetic and, even to some extent, nervous people, whose handwriting is (for the most part) illegible.

If in words all the letters are connected, this speaks of a good logical thinking, but if the letters stand apart from each other - oh well developed intuition.

Left-right, left-right.

The tilt of the letters can also tell you something. If the letters "go" to the right, this indicates the predominance of feelings over reason. Such people often fall in love at first sight, but they are very jealous; love to be admired. In people with "left-leaning", on the contrary, reason prevails over feelings: such people fall in love only after long reflection. Vertical handwriting (no tilt to the left or right) speaks of the harmony of feelings and reason.

Ah, field, field ...

By the size of the fields that a person leaves when writing, one can judge his attitude to material assets: if the fields are narrow - a person is thrifty, wide - generous. People whose field widens downward tend to waste, while those whose field narrows, on the contrary, are very stingy and greedy for money.
It turns out that the evenness (or unevenness) of the lines can also tell a lot. Jumping and uneven lines speak of cunning (it's worth considering: does this person have a conscience). Smooth lines are usually inherent in sensible people who soberly assess their capabilities. Optimists are betrayed by lines that rise up, but among pessimists they inexorably "slide" down.

The signature is the "mirror" of the soul.

Hidden traits of character are given out by the signature. Courageous and confident people often have the simplest signature. A large number of loops in the signature speaks of the cunning of its owner. Impulsive people tend to cross out their signature, and enterprising people tend to underline it. Timid people circle their signatures.

Depending on the mood or situation, a person's handwriting can change. Well, if a person writes with a new handwriting every time, then he is undoubtedly a creative person.

We are used to judging a person by the first impression of his appearance, as the people say “clothes”, without even thinking that it’s not just that. The ancient sages said that with an ugly face, but a good heart, the first can be reborn. But if the heart is evil, then even the most beautiful face will be destroyed by it over the years.

Contemporary research confirm that the connection between internal psychology and external characteristics definitely exists. There is even a special science that originated in China - physiognomy - that studies the character and abilities of their owner's body shapes. With the help of this article, you will understand exactly how to recognize a person's character by facial features.

Are the marks on your face signs of fate?

There is an old Chinese legend that tells about the meeting of two people of different class - a policeman and a master in the field of physiognomy. With a fleeting glance at the guardian of order, he made a very strange offer to the counter - to marry his daughter. Over time, an ordinary rural policeman became the first emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Maybe you shouldn't consider this story just a beautiful fairy tale, because each of us more than once noticed the anxieties and worries literally written on the face of our neighbor, as well as sincere joys? Experts in "reading people" are sure that such insignificant individual features as scars and moles, spots and wrinkles, as well as the complexion itself, are nothing more than marks of human destiny, both present and future.

Shape matters: face geometry

You can also define specific features by the chin: wide - strong-willed nature, square - fixation on material goods, sharp - resourcefulness and cunning.

7 main components of character that you can "see"

• confidence- the proportion of the face in length and width. According to psychologists, this quality corresponds to a 70% width of the face compared to its length.
• friendliness- the height of the eyes in relation to the distance between the upper part of the eyes and the eyebrows. For example, if a person's eyebrows are located higher than usual, then he is probably inclined to limit personal space.
• tolerance- the horizontal distance between the eyes. A more patient character is characteristic of individuals with wide-set eyes.
• sense of humor- the length of the tray chute. The long one indicates flat irony and sarcasm, the shorter one - an adequate perception of jokes at their own expense.
• the shape and size of the lips can be determined generosity of speech... The owners of thin lips are in most cases very restrained.
• worldview- the size of the crease on the eyelid. The thicker one speaks of the analytical mindset of a person, and the thin one or completely absent indicates decisiveness and the habit of being guided by actions.
• heard this expression magnetic character[b]? So natural magnetism can be recognized by the depth of the color of the eyes. The richer and deeper it is, the more charismatic the person is.

And "every line will be cute": learning to read by faces

Forehead: human weaknesses and virtues

According to the shape, the foreheads are divided into two types: narrow and flat demonstrates a person of rough, firm and unyielding, and high and round exposes a lively mind, capable of exact sciences, originality and good imagination. The character of such a person is unpredictable and hot-tempered. And in Tahiti, for example, it is still believed that the lower and smaller the forehead of a person, the more successful he is in his personal life.

Tell me what your nose is and I will tell ...

The nose is one of the main "reference points" of the human face. An interesting historical fact is that the Russian Empress Elizabeth did not allow masters to paint their portraits in profile, fearing her own small and slightly upturned nose, which deprived her of a proud and domineering appearance corresponding to a high status.

And on one of the islands in the jungle there is an Amazon village, where each girl has the tip of her nose cut open so that a scar with a small dimple remains. Local residents believe that such a manipulation will give the future Amazon a strong, dexterous and decisive character. When remembering famous personalities, a good example is the writer Gogol, whose nose was very long and narrow, which is considered an undoubted sign of talent.

Perfect shape the nose is considered to be a rounded tip with harmonious "wings". If the nostrils are too large, it means that the character has certain defects. Bony, tall and skinny is a sign of excessive pride, and full and bulbous speaks of the kindness and cordiality of its owner. The famous owner of a crooked nose is Pushkin. Maybe it was thanks to this physical feature that he was always distinguished by courage and courage.

Eyes are windows to the soul

Big eyes speak of sensitivity and courage, an inner striving for superiority, while small ones are inherent in closed, intractable and gloomy individuals. The iris of the eye is in the same connection: if its size is impressive, then a person can be defined without hesitation as soft and calm, and more modest indicators indicate an imbalance in the inner world and, accordingly, regular failures in relations with others.

If we talk about the fit of the eyes, then a straight horizontal line is considered a favorable sign. Slanting to the bottom speaks of masculine decisiveness and feminine indiscretion, and swollen eyelids speak of fatigue from life.

A historical example with large, not too far apart eyes is the famous predictor Nostradamus. By the above traits, you can recognize prudence, sensitive and receptive nature.

Mouth and lips: the answer to life

Since over time the shape of the lips changes under the influence of facial expressions, which, in turn, is directly dependent on the mood of a person, a lot can be said about these features. Physiognomy specialists are sure that the wider the mouth opening, the better the character of its owner in general and the ability for a career in particular.

Modern man does not know himself well and his character, let alone the people around him. But sometimes it’s enough just to look in the mirror and look at the familiar features. Knowing yourself is never superfluous.

According to a study by Israeli scientists, graphology - the science of analyzing handwriting, much more accurately than the well-known lie detector, determines the honesty and dishonesty of the author of the handwriting. In addition, graphology allows you to clearly define the character and mood of a person.

Today, thanks to the analysis of handwriting, it is possible to find out the mental potential of a person, his activity, ability to learn, independence, efficiency, communication skills, stress resistance, self-control, ambition, reliability, law-abidingness and much, much more.

Graphology: handwriting analysis

So, what features of handwriting can reveal to us individual personality traits:

• General organization of handwriting.

This refers to the evenness of the handwriting. In the analysis of handwriting, they start from this characteristic when examining its other features (deciding in which key to consider them: positive or negative). Large, even and well-organized handwriting is characteristic of active, energetic and self-confident people. If the handwriting is large, but not organized, then its owner is arrogant and impulsive. The handwriting, which is well organized, but small, shows that its owner uses his powers wisely, applies them thoughtfully, in the right direction. With a small and poorly organized handwriting, one can speak of timidity and indecision, as well as a craving for concentration on the inner world. If a set of other positive characteristics of handwriting is attached to a well-organized handwriting, then we can talk about the integrity, clarity of mind and the richness of a person's inner world. Poorly organized handwriting in graphology characterizes a person as unsure of himself, with weak self-control.

• Handwriting size.

The size of the letters in the analysis of handwriting can tell about a person's relationship with the people around him and about his reaction to external manifestations. Also, the size of the letters clearly enough determines the degree of egocentrism of a person. Medium-sized letters are characters about 3 mm in height, respectively, everything that is less attributed to small handwriting, everything that is larger - to large. The owners of large handwriting are always active and sociable, they are often even expressive. Such people are characterized by courage and self-confidence, they look at the world in general, without highlighting individual details. Holders of large handwriting are ready to listen to any point of view and accept it if the interlocutor is reasoned enough. But the desire to be in the spotlight does not allow such individuals to focus on one problem and bring what they started to the end. Often, such people act forgetting or not wanting to think.

Too small letters indicate the modesty of the author. Such people are often very secretive, they do not like to draw attention to themselves. The owners of small handwriting are smart, but in life they are hindered by the constant analysis of their problems. This is what prevents them from looking at the situation as a whole, getting rid of unnecessary dependencies. They like to think more than to do.

Accordingly, people with an average handwriting are able to find compromises in life, they are more diplomatic. They do not overestimate their own capabilities, but they do not go into a corner either. If a person's handwriting is unstable, then this shows his ability to adapt. But with an unstable handwriting within the framework of one sentence, one can speak of an unstable self-esteem, which prevents the author from gaining ground under his feet and taking a certain position in life.

If you need to know as much information as possible about a person, then pay attention to his handwriting. It is possible to decipher a person by handwriting in several stages. To do this, you just need to ask the person to write something.

First of all, pay attention to the location and size of the letters. A rational person writes in small handwriting, while large letters symbolize openness, naivety and gentleness. Overly compressed letters in words say that a person is practical and conservative. The sweeping handwriting betrays a resourceful, adventurous personality. Indiscriminate occurs in secretive, closed people, as well as in those who are in an emotional crisis, especially if the letters are narrow enough and are located far from each other.

Letters

If the size capital letters much more capital letters, their author is very picky about himself and the people around him. Capital and capital letters that are not too different from each other indicate a person's modesty. Calligraphic handwriting is written by people who are strongly influenced by others and do not have their own opinion.

A lot about the character of the writer can tell and degree of inclination letters. A slight tilt to the left suggests that a person is egocentric, for him his own interests are always above public ones. Moreover, the stronger the slope of the letters, the more selfish a person is, he never reckons with someone else's opinion. A strong slope to the right denotes the dedication and ambition of its owner. Smooth, non-sloping handwriting most often belongs to a stubborn and unshakable personality.

Strings

A lot of information about the thinking and character of a person can be told by analysis line directions... As a rule, handwritten lines on a blank sheet of paper are not perfectly straight. However, among optimists, they usually rise to the top. It can also be a sign of high self-esteem. Scrolling down lines can tell that a person is used to seeing only bad things in everything. Most often, he underestimates his capabilities and deliberately belittles himself. An adventurous, fickle and frivolous person writes with wave-like lines, and almost straight and even lines are used by reasonable and objective people.

Linked letters betray a person who is direct and capable of thinking logically. And, on the contrary, unconnected letters are a sign of developed imagination, good imagination and high spirituality of their owner.

In graphology, a special place is separated from the decoding of personal signatures. For example, if it has a lot of curls and loops, its owner is most likely an inquisitive and creative person. An introverted and secretive person has a habit of circling his signature. Emphasized - it happens with confident, strong and resourceful people. The crossed out flourish gives the owner of a large amount of energy.

"By outward appearance only the most inconspicuous people do not judge. "(Oscar Wilde)

To determine the character of a person by his appearance, there is a whole science - physiognomy. Of course, there is no need to talk about its accuracy, however, even in ancient China physiognomy was considered one of the full-fledged branches of medicine, and in the East they believed that by appearance it was possible to determine the character, and even the life path of a person.

It is not for nothing that some persons attract us and instantly inspire confidence, and some - rejection. This technique is actively used in the cinema. Remember at least the appearance of Sharikov (Vladimir Tolokonnikov) in the adaptation of the story "Heart of a Dog" - the first shots are enough to understand: this type of face suggests that its owner has a bad character and a very limited mind. So, let's find out how you can determine the character of a person by their appearance.

Body structure and character

The body is much easier to change than the face, however, in order to change the shape, you have to make some effort, right? That is why, it is quite true that playing sports affects our character.

• thin, weak and poorly defined ankles are a sign of lust;
• strong, slender legs indicate the ability to achieve goals.

What does physiognomy say about this?

1. Forehead:
