According to graphologist:
DIRECTION OF LINES
Generally speaking descending lines may be caused by depression or pessimism. People in a mood swing may temporarily write in descending lines. On the other hand ascending lines may indicate optimism. When we write we move from left to right, in other words we progress. People who write in convex lines (a line that ascends then descends) start their project with ambition and enthusiasm only to lose interest and give up before the task has been completed.
SPACE BETWEEN WORDS
If there is no pause between the writers words then we may say this is a person of action. This person may also be impulsive.
SPACE BETWEEN LINES
The space between the lines can be described as the picture of the writers mind. A person who writes with wide space lines may live a life of order and system. These people have executive ability and reasonableness. But if the space between the lines becomes too wide it may indicate a person who likes to keep their distance. Small spaces between the lines may indicate a person who likes to be around other people
PRESSURE IN WRITING
The pressure against the paper is called primary pressure. The pressure against the penholder is called secondary pressure. The primary pressure indicates our strength and vitality. The secondary pressure indicates our aims and inner convictions
SYMMETRY
Symmetry is used to establish style value. When the upper zones are strongly developed we are dealing with a person of intelligence and ambition. However their emotional development remains infantile. If the middle zone is strongly developed this is a person whose sentimental and sensivity and concern for themselves are likely to result in emotional pain. If the lower zone is overdeveloped we are dealing with a writer who is overconcerned with money.
