Each time you sign your name you're showing the world a piece of your brain. Why else would we dedicate so many hours of our adolescence to getting our signature right? The writer uses his/her signature to tell you what they want to say about themselves. To get a more realistic picture of the person as a whole, we have to consider other components.
Writing which shows through the back of the page suggests energy, drive, physical strength and confidence.
Someone whose writing rushes headlong along the page may be more motivated than someone whose writing is more self-contained.
How much room the words take up indicates how the writer feels about (him)herself. Many politicians have big flamboyant handwriting, i.e. they like to take centre stage.
Those who construct letters the way they were taught at school are probably happy with convention. Those with simple skeletal forms are likely to be more theoretical.
If someone writes a text with small letters and ends with a big surge for a signature, they're trying to compensate for something, Some people have large writing but very light stroke-that seems false. Exaggerated writing arouses suspicion too. It suggests that the writer is trying to cover something up.
