GLENDALE, Ariz. – What does your handwriting say about you?

Since the early 1600s, and, maybe before, people have been writing on the subject of how handwriting and character traits are related. Graphology, the study of handwriting, has been popular for years in Europe and Israel. Handwriting specialists or graphoanalysts can gain insights about a person’s character based upon how a person spaces their words in sentences.

Intrigued? Learn more at “What Does Your Handwriting Tell about You?” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 at Velma Teague Branch Library, 7010 N. 58th Ave. Gloria Peach, Master Graphoanalyst and certified member of The International Graphoanalysis Society, will share important insights.

What does it mean if a person loops his or her letters, slants their words or writes their words upright? Are the letters or words printed or written in cursive? What kind of space is used between the letters or words? These are only a few of the types of data that graphologists use.

Peach will analyze handwriting samples from members of the audience
