Ego and self image as seen in handwriting
The English language has the unique characteristic of a single letter “I” (ppI) which represents the ego of the writer.
Words are symbols by which we communicate. Form is also a language: think of a tall, stately sequoia contrasted with a wispy willow. Now, the shape of a greyhound that suggests speed contrasts with the heaviness of a bulldog, which suggests power and tenacity. Our body has a language apart from words or form. How we walk, sit, gesture, is a body language that reflects our inner state of being.
Just like body language, our strokes are formed in action. Writing is crystallized body language. We are beings that produce symbols and, through the analysis of our symbols, we access our unconscious.
For the ppI to be interpreted correctly, it is it must be seen in the context of writing as a whole. Strictly speaking, it cannot be evaluated alone; Like the self, the ego symbol exists and finds its identity in its relationship with the environment. However, the ppI can offer valuable clues to inner personality even without such a comparison, since the basic graphological values and indicators contained in the symbolism of zones and space can be reliably applied.
How the ppI is written and where it is placed on the paper reveals the writer’s intimate attitudes about himself and others. The signature, the public image, does not reveal the truth about a person, as the IP does.
How you shape your pI can provide you with a useful tool to assess your private needs and values. By revealing aspects of the inner self, it has a personal meaning beyond the ordinary fact that denotes the writer. It can also suggest harmonious or disturbing elements in a person’s life. It can reveal the importance of male and female authority figures to the writer and how his relationship with these figures affects his current dealings.
Mind and body are not separate units or entities: expressive movements are embedded in the total personality complex. Handwriting is such a personal gesture that it is difficult to imitate or fake, and the speed and pressure of writing cannot be duplicated. Writing by hand is writing with the brain.
The shape or form of the ppI provides information about the adaptability of the writer to the world, his orientations towards the future or the past, his interest in the spiritual, the material or reality.
The height of the ppI speaks to the writer’s feelings about himself, his level of self-esteem and the respect he has for himself and his abilities.
PPI width relevant to the writer’s personal value system. It reveals your sense of self-esteem and the importance you give to yourself in relation to other people in your workplace and in interpersonal relationships.
Any weakness in the form of the ppI corresponds to a deficiency in the writer’s self-esteem. The findings in the pI must be corroborated by evidence of the height and width of the letters. If there is disagreement between the font height and the ppI height, or between the font width and the ppI width, there is a personality conflict with subsequent frustration, tension, or anxiety. Physically, this creates nervousness in behavior; it will be expressed as hostility, resistance or rigidity.
Clues to social and emotional inclinations are found in the ppI inclination, as well as other letters.
