Figure 1 shows an example of connected writing. One of the major points that the graphologist looks for in his analysis is how the subject thinks. In this example, we see that each word is internally connected, each letter linked to the following one. Connected writing shows a person who is both practical and logical. He will take his time figuring something out, but once he has done so, he is very tenacious of his opinion. He is the person who builds fact upon fact, then adds them up to a logical decision. Picture connected writing. One of the major points that the graphologist looks for in his analysis is how the subject thinks. Each word is internally connected, each letter linked to the following one. Connected writing shows a person who is both practical and logical. He will take his time figuring something out, but once he has done so, he is very tenacious of his opinion. He is the person who builds fact upon fact, then adds them up to a logical decision. Graphologists consider this 'masculine writing.' The connected script of Martin Luther King, Jr. displays both logic and pragmatism. Imagine disconnected writing-disconnected most of the time. There is a touch of 'femininity' in disconnected writings. Its nature is intuitive. Since most of this person's writing is disconnected, his emphasis is on his intuition. He is also capable of logic (he does connect some of his letters), and when he needs the logical thought processes, he is able to draw them forth. Disconnection also implies imagination, so this writer is excellent to have around when an idea is needed. Because of his hunches-which are often right-he is a quicker thinker than the connected writer, and he has usually sized up the situation and come to a decision while the connected writer is still putting facts together. This writer sometimes comes to grief over his hunches, however. Because they are so often correct, he is inclined to think they always are. On some occasion he may demand that his position be respected, refusing to admit that he drew it from intuition and not fact, and will hang on stubbornly to his opinion beyond all logical objections. The handwriting of French philosopher and Nobel Prize winner Henri Bergson has an extreme degree of disconnection in his writing, along with precisely placed i dots. This reveals powerful intuition allied with alertness to details and a precise memory. Thus he was able to analyze the function of intuition in the thinking process: There is a type of script called "mirror writing." Leonardo Da Vinci frequently wrote in such a fashion... This kind of writing, often written by left-handed writers (Leonardo was ambidextrous, though favoring his left hand) can easily be read by holding it up to a mirror. In such a strongly disconnected script such as this, much femininity is indicated. Consider disconnected writing-this time, completely disconnected. This writer tends to be impractical, moody, a daydreamer. Many artists write disconnectedly. The disconnected writer often has disjointed thoughts, and his logical thought processes are also disconnected. He can be extremely bright and will show interest in minor details when given a set of facts. He is quite distant in social relationships and is seldom in touch with his own feelings. Because of the manner in which he thinks, he is often looked down upon by the connected writer. A person who prints is similar to the disconnected writer. This writing often shows immaturity. If the sample of handwriting is printed, the graphologist should request a letter written in script in addition, for only a limited number of facts could be gathered from printed writing. Many writings look totally disconnected, but actually are not. Where one letter ends and the next letter begins very close together, and in direct line. If the writer had connected the writing, the connection would have followed the same route and simply inked in the blank space. It is almost as though a connected piece of writing had been carefully cut into individual letters. Picture the writer that not only connects the letters, but the words themselves. Stubborn is the word to describe this person. When he gets an idea, he sticks by it, right or wrong. He has many principles. When he enters a heated discussion, he refuses to give way until long after he has alienated the other participants. It should be borne in mind that connections always represent building fact upon fact. Any break will let intuition seep in. It is said that in many professions, including that of writing, where a person does not want his logical train of thought derailed by intuition, he will find himself connecting words together, leaving not even minute spaces to upset his thinking pattern. Examination for Lesson 10 1. Explain why logic is exhibited in Martin Luther King's writing. 2. Henri Bergson's script reveals intuition and directness. How is this noticed? 3. What often indicates sensuality and love of color? 4. Describe the form of connection in the following sample. What does it reveal? 5. How can 'systematic thinking' be noticed in one's writing? Answers for Lesson 10 1. The letters are connected 2. He has an extreme degree of disconnection in his writing, along with precisely placed i dots. 3. Pressure 4. Letters and words are connected. Same as above 5. Where all letters are connected.
