The Slope of the lines that is, whether they rise or fall reveals a very important personality trait that is a pre-requisite for success - your Attitude.
Which of the two writers A or B is feeling more depressed? Obviously A. Why obviously? Consider the phrases we use, “Down in the dumps” and “I’m on top of the world.” To us up is positive and down is negative- we never say “Up in the dumps”. This is one of the many universal concepts that is imprinted in our sub-conscious and reflects in the way we write. Ascending lines show that the writer is hopeful and has a healthy outlook. Lines that descend belong to a person who is less hopeful and tends to have a negative approach to life. The degree of the slope of the lines is important and describes the extent to which the writer is feeling “up” or “down.”
Let’s describe the Attitude of the two writers:
A- Falling Lines
• Negative
• Easily discouraged
• Lacks enthusiasm
• Pessimistic
• Looks at obstacles rather than opportunities
B- Rising Lines
• Positive
• Cheerful
• Enthusiastic
• Optimistic
• Looks for opportunities and ways to succeed
Which of the two types of slopes is more likely to successful? Obviously B. With his positive attitude, B literally psyches himself into being successful.
No extremes are desirable. A steeply rising slope will imply overconfidence and one who, out of sheer enthusiasm, makes commitments that cannot be kept. If the slope of the line is horizontal the writer has a practical attitude, never rising to heights of enthusiasm or sinking to depths of depression. The horizontal writer looks at the practical situation and this is reflected in his writing. Variations in the slope indicate moodiness and changeability.
Attitude is a changeable trait and often reflects the writer’s mood at the moment. An experienced Graphologist can determine whether it is a temporary phenomenon or a regular personality trait.
The most important factor that decides one’s success in any situation is a positive attitude, which is why I believe that it is better to be an optimist and wrong, than a pessimist and right.
