Graphology is the analysis of handwriting and its connection to personality. Graphologist Kathi McKnight says that handwriting experts can pick up more than 5,000 personality traits from your handwriting. For example, people who write a lot are people-oriented and attention seeking, while those with small handwriting are introverted and capable of acute concentration. Writing with a slight right slant means you are friendly and impulsive. A left tilt means you are reserved and individualistic. If there is no tendency in the font, it indicates that you are logical and pragmatic. The font with strong pressure shows, that you have strong emotions, you react quickly, and light pressure means lightness and the ability to move from place to place.
