In an earlier post, we talked about the strokes found in the handwriting of a strong personality. Now, we will discuss the opposite personality type. What would we call them? A ‘weak personality‘?
For some people, yes. An inability to cope with a demanding situation is often understood as a weakness in personality. But is that an appropriate expression?
Personally, I do not like the word ‘weak’. When it is used for someone, it severely damages and hurts his self-esteem.
Plus, calling someone weak does not deconstruct the various layers of his personality. A ‘weak’ person does not show his ‘weaknesses’ on a day-to-day basis; he shows them only in certain circumstances.
Therefore, instead of saying ‘weak personality’, we may use terms, such as ‘reserved personality’ or ‘timid personality’.
Such writers may not be brave-hearts (that’s why some people may call them weak, right?), courageous, or flamboyant risk-takers.
But they may be capable of doing many other things properly, such as concentrating on a job and doing something meticulously.
Let’s find out how we can see in handwriting that someone does not have a strong personality.
1) Light handwriting pressure
The pressure of handwriting is considered light if you cannot feel any imprint on the backside of the paper. Light handwriting pressure is one of the primary indicators of a diffident and timid personality.
In the article on the strong-personality type, we had noted that handwriting pressure plays an important role.
While heavy handwriting pressure says the writer is capable of working long hours and does not get tired easily, the light handwriting pressure reveals that the writer has a poor memory and he quickly succumbs to fatigue.
People who write with a light handwriting pressure do not make an impression on others. They lack perseverance and determination, and avoid confrontations at all cost.
Clearly, in the absence of such crucial characteristics, one cannot have a strong personality.
2) Small handwriting
People who have small handwriting are usually not flamboyant or attention-seekers. They feel uncomfortable when you shower on them a great deal of attention. In short, they are reserved.
So, if you introduce such a writer to a situation that requires him to be bold, aggressive, courageous and assertive, you will be disappointed.
Your first reaction may be that this person has a ‘weak personality’. That may be an interpretation, because they failed in certain circumstances.
But the fact is that such writers do very well as scholars and in work that requires them to stay focused in a closed environment.
3) Small signature
In an article on signature analysis, we have established the need to have a healthy signature.
In handwriting analysis, a very signature is not considered healthy. Why? Because a very small signature usually reflects lack of confidence. Such writers become uncomfortable when they confront a challenging situation.
They think they do not possess “great qualities”. They do not protest when they are ill-treated, and appear more modest than they should. All these put together may make someone label them as “weak”.
