Psychological Meaning. Today, electronic signatures are becoming valid as a means of
identification. What is the future of handwritten signatures? The innovative technologies may be

The signature and its psychological meaning. How do we make a good signature?

To begin, take a look at the initials of your name and last name and analyze which of the different
ways of producing it you like better, so as to make it stand out.

There are many signature models that may help you recognize a few details. Your signature will
speak about you more than you can imagine!

Handwriting Analysis Signature:The signature is the first name and surname used at the end
of a document to confirm it is authentic. Its goal is to identify ourselves. It is even better if we can
produce a signature that is “hard to mimic”. This recommendation goes for young people who
start signing legal documents such as contracts, driver licenses, passports and bank papers,
among others. The fact that these documents are signed is an essential measure in order to
certify them.

Banks record their clients’ signatures in their databases and each time we attend to run an
errand, employees will have your signature at their computer screen. In case there are great
differences between the recorded signature and the one you present, big problems are
generated.

Handwriting Analysis Signature: For graphology, an individual’s signature is the most genuine
expression of their personality. It reveals their virtues, flaws, complexes, ambitions, feelings for
inferiority or superiority, capacity for adaptation or tendencies to become lonely.

for differences and similarities.

signature. Then compare your signature to the text.

Differences

Handwriting Analysis Signature: Differences Between Signature and Text

Handwriting Analysis Signature: This analyzes whether the traits of the text are similar to the
ones of the signature or whether there are big differences.

It is expected that your signature and the text are similar. It is a sign of coherence between
thinking and action. It means that you show yourself the way you are before others, that you are
a trustful person who has nothing to hide.

How should the signature of a balanced person be? It is expected that an evolved, mature, and
balanced individual signs in a clear, simple and legible way, including characteristics that
are similar to the text.

Differences between the signature and text express conflicts in personality and between what the
individual wants and what the individual does.

Legibility of your Signature

Handwriting Analysis Signature: When young, we believe that an illegible and extravagant
signature is more elegant and stylish than our stamped out, plain and clear name. Let us take
into account that scrawled signatures are easier to imitate than a clear and full name and last
name.
 A signature is legible when the name and last name that appear are easy to recognize. This
means that you are a person with clear objectives, who is balanced, who has a sense for
responsibility and duty and who feels identified with himself.
 A signature is semi-legible when it is hard to read, but each stroke may be identified with a
letter. These kind of signatures are associated to impatience and anxiety.
 Illegible signatures are the ones where it is impossible to identify any letters. There are people
who, due to business reasons, sign thousands of times a day, using a short signature. We need
to make a distinction in these cases where these scrawls are destined to business, which implies
that there is no personal compromise. Illegible signature applied in official IDs only, might show
certain difficulty to accept authority.

Graphology: Handwriting Analysis Signature

If the signature is always illegible, it denotes a tendency for avoidance (in order to avoid
confrontation) and lack of self-identification. If the signature includes simplified strokes, this
means there is a tendency for general summarization and to achieve the goals that have been
set.

Name – last name relationship

Handwriting Analysis Signature: Parts of the signature: The name, from a graphological point
of view symbolizes the personal ego and the family ego. It is whom we identify with since we are
children and how our family recognizes us. Those who sign with their name only or give more
importance to the name than the last name, grant more importance to that first stage of life and
to their childish ego.

The father’s last name is related to the paternal image and the social and business ego. It
represents authority, paternal role for protection and control as opposed to the mother’s last
name (when used) which is granted importance to the maternal image, traditions and the past.
When initials of the first and last name only are used, this shows lack of commitment, a desire to
avoid responsibility, lack of self-identification and a great capacity for summarization. The
signature, which is the scrawl that usually goes together with it, is the frame where the “inner
ego” is found.

Spaces between Name and Last name

Handwriting Analysis Signature: Graphology

Handwriting Analysis Signature: This refers to the distance between the letters and words that
compose the name and the last name or last names. Variants are condensed name and last
name, signatures of spaced letters and signatures of condensed letters. The distance between
name and last name is linked to the psychological bond or separation between what they both
represent (name: personal – family ego, last name: social ego and maternal – paternal images
respectively).

Level of Organization

Handwriting Analysis Signature: Signatures are organized when they are constant (traits remain
without variation for a considerable time). They are correctly placed in relation to the text (does
not cross it, nor it is too far from it), the distance between words and letters is appropriate and the
shape of letters is clear. When these parameters are not accomplished we stand before an
unorganized signature, and this is how the individual who carries the signature will be: someone
showing confusion of ideas, lacking logical order for thinking and not showing themselves the
way they really are.

 Handwriting Analisis Signature and Graphology: Placement of signature

What is the Difference between Signature and Rubric?

Handwriting Analysis Signature: The signature is the name and surname that we usually place at the
end of a letter or some document with the goal of legitimating it. It is the insignia of our personality.
The image that represents us before others and which we feel identified with. The analysis of the
signature, always along with the text, allows us to discover personal and professional abilities of the
writer, their temper, mood, and evolution of their personality throughout life.

Handwriting Analysis Signature angled to the right:

The rubric, from Latin terminology rubrum, was born in the antique documents of the Middle Age, to
which the Latin words scripsit firmavit recognovit, which mean written, signed recognized, were added
in order to legalize them.These words started to deform and turned illegible, persisting in the form of
lines or scrawled drawings that appear next to signatures. Rubric is a line or set of lines added to the
name to sign that individualize the signature of each person. In the signature analysis, rubrics reveal
personal ambitions. There is no valid calligraphy for rubrics. We try to avoid that our signature is
adulterated easily and that is why we usually look for rubrics that not only appear next to and
decorates the signature, but also that are not easy to counterfeit. There are people who do not “rubric”
and who tangle the signature with the rubric. There are rubrics that persist along the years, that are
constant and others that change with time, that fade out. Each one has a different interpretation.
Psychological interpretation

Handwriting Analysis: Signature garland predominant

Handwriting Analysis Signature: Some authors comment that rubrics are “walkers” of personality.
Something like a walking stick or support of which we get rid of as our personality matures. In rubrics,
the ego defense mechanisms are revealed, which are the ones that protect the ego. In the signature,
the name gets bigger, it becomes more legible and clear and the rubric gets simpler or smaller.

The evolution of the signature and rubric should go from “childish complication” and “inferiority
complex” to “self-improvement and maturity”. Simplification of the rubric symbolizes personal
achievement, mental maturity and a consolidated personality. That is why we say “the less rubric, the
more personality”.

Classification
Handwriting Analysis Signature: Rubrics are analyzed along with the signature next to them. They are
classified as follows:
