GRAPHOLOGY |
|
An individual's physiological and psychological functions are
depicted in a person's handwriting. The act of writing contains
spontaneous actions for the purpose of communicating ideas.
The examination of a written specimen is the legal basis for
forensic identification of an individual. The consistency of
script features with their graphometric measurements is repeatable
and reliable. Writing is expressive behavior and communicates
personality characteristics. The appearance of the written specimen
and the tactile sensation of the written performance are the
communication vehicles. Writing is a learned habit where the
writer has refashioned basic forms. The look and feel of writing
dictates our style of writing rather than our formal training.
Your writing is the result of your perception of your pen-stroke's
touch and visual images.
In
the act of handwriting the writer spontaneously constructs
random parts (strokes) to form known patterns (letters) into
communicated ideas (words). Imposed organization to these
ideas (sentences) in a limited area (page) conveys a conscious
creative purpose (message). The physical data is recorded
as a written specimen. Writing combines and uses elements
of speaking, reading, composing, and eye-hand coordination.
It is difficult to perform other tasks while writing such
as exercising, holding a conversation, and operating a computer.
The series execution of writing contains advanced prioritized
planning and parallel cognition. Dynamically integrating perception,
motion, and cognition is an involved task requiring full attention.
The hadnwriting test process is the systematic observation
of graphic signs or written indicators. The writer cannot
significantly alter the test procedure or the findings. A
graphic indicator is an expressive movement that is the connecting
link to personality. Trait behavior is determined from these
graphic gestures and their inter-relationships.
