Emotionality in Handwriting, Interpersonal Characteristics in Handwriting: Using Computerized Optometric Handwriting Analysis in Psychological Assessment, Computer Comparative Graphometry in the IPCH Research

Original language description

The chapter deals with the relationship between handwriting and selected personality characteristics of its writer using modern graphometric methods. It introduces the IPCH research (Interpersonal Characteristics in Handwriting, 2010-2012) and its tool used for the scientific description of handwriting, computer comparative graphometry. The analysis consists of optometric processing of handwriting materials obtained from 42 participants. Texts has been produced in a controlled setting in the university premises. Collecting the handwritings followed the same requested scenario, i.e. rewriting well known Czech song (rhyme). Afterwards psychological tests, SSI (Social Skills Inventory) and ICL (Interpersonal Check List), focusing on personality characteristics were administered within the diagnostic part of the research. Research findings point to various correlations between many personality characteristics and graphometric parameters. Among the most significant are the findings that the form of handwritten material is probably related to dominant personality traits, cold directness and aggression, protective tendencies, self-control in social context and conformity. The most important handwriting parameters are width of letters “a”, “o” and “m”, letter size, letter spacing, letter height (especially for two-zone letters, e.g. “h”). In conclusion, research results suggest that the study of handwriting, as a source of psychologically relevant information, has a significant potential and may be of great interest for further academic research.
