graphology - Spacing, line spacing

Spacing

Handwriting Spacing are of three types.

• Line Spacing
• Word Spacing
• Alphabet Spacing

---

Number of lines = Number of activities

• Average = 27
• Max 50-55
• Min = 14-16

---

Space between lines = Gap for contingencies.

• Planning and organizing.

Letter = Thought
Word = Action
Line = Activity

Normal word spacing = Twice the height of alphabet 'a'.
Abbreviation = Can't come down to the level of student/subordinate/peer.

---

Letter Spacing
Small = Sacrificing
Big = Selfish
Combination = Moody. Difficult to get along. Inconsistent.

Line Spacing

Space between lines. The planning and organization ability of the person.
The capacity of the person to extract from the day.

Average Line Spacing No Entanglement

Average Line Spacing No Entanglement

• Good planners
• Sufficient time for contingencies.

17-35 lines per page is normal.
36-54 line per page are people who write more lines extract* maximum from the day.
Those who extract maximum for a day [more lines] are very careful. Without entanglement.
*Extraction means, things you like and you do.

Tip: When doing too many things at one time. Something may fail. Thus frustration level increases.

Close Line Spacing No Entanglement

What to say

Crammed Line Spacing

What to say

You are a person who may be considered by others as uptight:

You may be a little uptight and even narrow minded as you are sure of your opinions and don't sway easily to another's point of view. People who know you realize that they have to present a well thought out case if they expect you to consider changing your mind. You need to be close to those you love, so close that they may think you are nosy or a little too touchy. You like to live in the moment and you may find yourself talkative and confused, if not a little indiscreet.

Entangled Line Spacing

Entanglement - The lower part of the upper line getting mixed up with the upper part or middle part of the lower line.

Entangled Line Spacing

• Not spacing out two different activities cleanly.
• Busy Busy Busy
• Want to live 36 hours in 24 hours.
• Doing too many activities at one time.
• Have trouble deciding what to do first.
• Thus frustration level is high.
• The quality of work is not high. When compared with their capacity.
• The person is unorganized in a high level of entanglement.

Overlapping - Lack of inhibitions, over involvement with activities, preoccupation with instincts

Too Many Irons In The Fire - Long lower loops running into the writing below. This writer has too many projects going on at one time, thus having a confusion of interests.

What to say

You are someone who tends to lose perspective:

You may feel confused at times and tend to lose perspective. Others have a tendency to consider you unreliable until they see you as you see you, for you know how to organize and still leave things a mess. Your thoughts seem to be jumbled up and chaotic and you probably find it difficult to follow a set schedule. Your thoughts may travel much faster than you can communicate. You find yourself butting in when there are conflicts because you feel you can get resolution. You do not care to do mundane chores like housekeeping or cleaning out your office drawers. Most likely, you procrastinate and delay on getting things done.
