“What secret could possibly be showing?” you ask.

The short answer is that there are a few secrets about yourself that you wouldn’t be able to hide even if you wanted to. Secrets that have to do with your personality, of course.

There in all its fragility lies your sensitive personality – open for inspection the minute you set pen to paper. Quite cringe-worthy!

But don’t worry!  Information of this nature is only available to someone who has made a study of handwriting.  And luckily there aren’t too many of those lurking about!

Which reminds me of the rather amusing note I received from a friend saying;  “Please excuse the typing but writing to a Graphologist is like walking naked through a park – you know people can see you but you desperately hope they won’t look!”

She didn’t realize that when you see a lot of this type of exposure every day, it becomes so commonplace that you don’t bother to look!

Personality Secrets

Although graphology is a detailed study, if you have learned any handwriting analysis at all, you will know that there are one or two personality traits that you can read off  directly from a page of handwriting fairly easily.

For example,  a large handwriting with decorative curlicues and over-sized capitals points to an exhibitionist who loves to be in the limelight.

On the other hand, a self-effacing individual will shoot his cover as soon as he puts pen to paper because the tell-tale signs of his  timidity will show up clearly in his handwriting.

Then again, in addition to those strengths and talents which are out in the open there are also, right up front, all those embarrassing traits that most of us would prefer to shove under the carpet.

Signs of a violent temper; an inferiority complex; or even some burning resentment from the past are fairly easy to identify.

For those of us who would prefer to keep these revelations hidden under the floorboards, let alone under the carpet, its reassuring to know that a detailed personality report is not so easy to come by.

And besides, as I mentioned, how many graphologists are lurking about who could unearth these secrets anyway?  So for the moment at any rate, your secret is safe!
