Secrets of Graphology the five laws

Since the beginning of time humanity, writing has appeared as a consequence of the need that man feels to communicate with his fellow men. This need, in principle covered by oral transmission, finds in the written word a broader and more durable means of dissemination. Already in prehistory the first representative written drawings and signs emerged that are the antecedents of modern writing..

What is Graphology?

Graphology is a technique that studies the personality through the writing of the individual in all its facets.

Graphology is a way of getting to know people, both intellectually, professionally, socially and personally. Although it is not recognized as a science in the strict sense, it does not mean that it does not have an important scientific character and it is always an invaluable tool for Psychology..

Graphology is actually something equivalent to a Projective Test.

Much has been studied about the personality traits that hide behind writing over time and the first pioneers of Graphology date back to the seventeenth century. Today in this article we want to give you a brief review of the five graphological laws that exist, some are already surpassed by later studies, but all have their value today.

The five laws of Graphology

Next we are going to give you a brief introduction to the five laws of Graphology, which are the following: the Mimic Law (Jules Crépieux-Jamin, French School) that elevated graphology to a scientific discipline, the Symbolic Law (Max Pulver, Swiss School ) that gave universal significance to Graphology, the Emotional Law (Curt A. Honroth, German School), the Deep Law (Solange Pellat and Ludwig Klages -German, student of Abbe Michon together with Jules Crépieux-Jamin-, French School) that It is the one that has been developed the most by the Spanish Society of Graphology and finally the Inductive Alphabetic Law, in which all graphologists continue to investigate today.

First Law: the Mimic Law

It comes from the so-called "French School" of Graphology. Posted by: Jules Crepieux-Jamin.

In this Law, two main characteristics of a text must be distinguished:

  • The positive sense is one that belongs to eminently cheerful, optimistic, enterprising, uninhibited personality types ... represented by the movement up and to the right.
  • The negative sense is the fearful, cautious, indecisive, sad, ashamed personality type ... represented by the movement down and to the left..

Logically, it is difficult for someone to meet all the characteristics of one type or another, so the final assessment will depend on the level of predominance of a specific style, and from there their intensity of character will emerge in one sense or another..

Characteristics of the text in a positive sense:

  • Lines are going up.
  • The letter is slanted to the right.
  • Word or letter endings up or to the right.
  • Small or absent right margin.
  • Small or normal top margin.
  • Bars of "t", "A", "H", accents and points of "i" and "j" located further to the right.
  • The graphic gesture always builds the letter to the right, it does not go back to link with the previous one.
  • It is proportionate, the size or dimension of the letters does not present noticeable inequalities, and all the graphics keep a proportion.
  • The letters are linked or grouped, linked by strokes between them.
  • Its speed is normal or fast, with simple or simplified features.
  • The letters are clean and the line is clean.
  • Signature located to the right of the page and does not differ substantially from the text.

Characteristics of the text in a negative sense:

  • Downward direction lines.
  • Inverted letter (tilted to the left).
  • Word or letter endings down or to the left.
  • Small or absent left margin.
  • Wide right margin.
  • Top margin greater than the norm.
  • Bottom margin does not exist.
  • Bars of '"t", "A", "H", accents and points of the "i", "j", located rather to the left.
  • The graphic gesture tends to go backwards.
  • The letter is detached, there are practically no union lines.
  • The size of the letters is irregular, giving in general an appearance of disproportion.
  • The speed is rather slow.
  • It is a complicated handwriting; there are unnecessary adornments and features
  • It is dirty; ovals are blinded, there are ink discharges, scratches, etc. the overall look is sloppy.
  • Signature located on the left of the sheet and there are differences between it and the text.

Second Law: the Symbolic Law

This law comes from the "Swiss School" and was enunciated by: Dr. Max Pulver.

The basis of this law is the symbology.

This Law tells us that paper is the playing field (graphic field), where time and space are represented. The text of a letter is the stage where the actor plays his role, the individual within the social context.

The firm is the man offstage, alone, in his family environment; reveals your deep passions and emotions.

Later it has been added that the writing on the envelope represents the individual as he appears when we see him for the first time, walking down the street, getting on a bus, etc ..., when we still have no relationship with him or he with us: "the image what does he intend to give ".

The Symbolic Law is based on the consideration of the symbols that rest in the Collective Unconscious, with their situations and spaces well represented and that symbolize:

Examples of the symbolic zones of M. Pulver

Symbolism has an essentially general value. It is an intuitive image whose roots go back to the very origins of life. We find symbolism in religions, in all legend and mythology, and in the same unconscious reasons of our life.

Third Law: the Emotional Law

Its origin is from Germany, although it was stated in Argentina by Curt A. Honroth (German who emigrated to Argentina).

The Emotional Law is based on writing as a lie detector. To do this, use the "lapsus calami" (similar to the slip of the tongue used in psychoanalysis): "When the mind doubts, the hand trembles" says Honroth and the word that has produced the doubt is written differently from the rest of the text.

Everything that is or represents something pleasant and positive for the individual is written larger, more legible, with a stronger pressure, in a more upward direction, more inclined to the right, etc ... While what is or represents something negative , embarrassing, intended to hide, is written smaller, with retouching or erasure, more illegible, with weaker or shaky pressure, in a downward direction, with an inverted slant even though the rest of the text is to the right. By analyzing these differences, very clear conclusions can be drawn about the individual..

Often these differences are not found in a specific word, but in a letter that has a specific meaning, such as the first letter of the name of someone who has left a mark on your life..

Fourth Law: the Profound Law

The origin of this law is the "French School".

Enunciated by: Ludwig Klages (German) and Solange Pellat (French, calligrapher expert of the Seine courts and in-depth researcher of Egyptian writing). Both were students of Julos Crepieux-Jamin.

This law studies the differences between the conscious plane and the unconscious plane: the struggle of the individual between the "ideal me" (what he wants to be) and the "real me" (what he is).

Writing is a composite of conscious (descending features) and unconscious (ascending features) elements.

On the other hand, every beginning of a letter, word, line or page is always more conscious than the end. When we start writing, like when we meet someone, we want to make a good impression. But as we advance in writing (or in our speech if we speak), it is impossible for us to control our impulses, because it would look artificial, false.

From here we deduce that:

  • Initial letter traits are more conscious than final traits.
  • The first part of the word is more conscious than the last.
  • The first half of the line is more aware than the second.
  • The first part of a writing is more conscious than the last.

According to this law, every positive feature will be more positive if it appears at the end of the letter, word, line, letter, etc ... than if it appears only at the beginning and then changes.

At the same time, every negative feature is less negative if it is found only at the beginning but disappears at the end, than vice versa..

This law applies to everything: size, shape, direction, etc ...

Fifth Law: the Inductive Alphabetic Law

This is a law with diverse origins and at the same time unfinished.

The authors of this law are several: the first to work on this law was Jean H. Michon, considered "Father of Graphology" and Carton, the German Society of Graphology and especially Roseline Crepy, from the French School have continued their studies..


Why do we say that this is an unfinished law? Actually the Inductive Alphabetic Law is the study of each and every one of the letters, uppercase, lowercase, even numbers. The advances that this law has achieved, whose statistical verification is very laborious, is the identification of some letters with parental and social figures, stages of life and ways of facing certain situations of an individual.

Roseline Crepy performs a primary division between the most important or major letters and the least important or minor letters, both within uppercase and lowercase..
