“…example, Rooij & Hazelzet, 1997;Tett & Palmer, 1997;Wiliams, Berg-Cross & Berg-Cross, 1977); incoherent theories for personality and handwriting as a basis of the analysis; lack of control groups or inappropriate selection of control groups; lack of control of fundamental factors, such as age, sex, intellectual level, health, handedness, type of ball-pen, type of writing basis, incorrect procedure of writing tasks, which may have an impact on handwriting (i.e. Wiliams, Berg-Cross & Berg-Cross, 1977;Furnham, Chamorro-Premuzic & Callahan, 2003;King & Koehler, 2000;Tett & Palmer, 1997). Unclear system of coding of the handwriting parameters was also significant limitation of many studies (i.e.…”

“…Although several studies addressing this personality trait has been completed, it is impossible to conclude that the associations between handwriting and extra-introversion trait are confirmed. For instance, Williams, Berg-Cross, & Berg-Cross (1977) found the correlations between handwriting parameters (slant, upper zone height, middle zone height) and results in extra-introversion measured by Eysenck's MPI. The research made by Lester, McLaughlin and Nosal (1977), and by Rosenthal and Lines (1978) have not confirmed the above findings.…”

Background: The aim of the study is to clarify the beliefs and numerous doubts about the possible identification of personality in handwriting. The purpose of the described studies was to show an association between personality traits and handwriting features. The author aimed to verify whether or not there are any specific characteristics of writing in relation to personality traits. | Method: Two different studies have been described. A different number of subjects participated in the investigations and different techniques for personality assessment were used; however, the same set of handwriting features was analyzed in each study. In the first study the NEO-FFI (n=260) was used, while the EPQ-R (n=180) was used in the second study. The graphic characteristics of the handwriting samples were examined by forensic experts. | Results: The correlations between the personality traits and handwriting features were counted. The results showed that there were few significant correlations between handwriting parameters and personality traits, as measured by the NEO-FFI and EPQ-R. | Conclusions: No writing characteristics were specific to personality traits. There is no evidence for assessment of personality on the base of handwriting

“…Therefore, there are research [10][11][12][13] aiming at discovering these relationships. Castelnuovo et al [10] analyze the connection of "imitation" and "natural writing" with intelligence, originality, anxiety, compulsiveness, sexuality, and temperament and conclude that handwriting highly reflects writer's personality and "natural writing" does more profoundly than "imitation.

Instant messaging with emotion-embedded vectorized handwritings on mobile devices

Generally, handwriting can reflect writers' personality, thoughts, and emotions, i.e., handwriting can deliver emotionand sincereness-embedded messages. However, texting messages and notes such as emails and instant messages replace handwriting letters and notes in communication due to the popularity and availability of mobile devices and personal computers. Furthermore, the commonly used input methods and devices also limit handwriting messaging. For example, limited mobile screen sizes make writing multiple Chinese characters difficult. As a result, this work aims at designing and developing a handwriting messaging system based on our handwriting characteristic exploration and texting-handwriting difference discovery. We first discover Chinese texting issues for mobile devices and emotion-delivered effectiveness of handwriting with pilot studies. Then, our emotion-embedded handwriting messaging framework is implemented to record writing strokes on the entire touch screen, vectorize them as Bézier curves, and send them as instant messages. Vectorizing strokes can preserve personal and emotional handwriting features with compact networking traffic without deteriorating the convenience of instant messaging. Finally, we conduct user studies to verify that our handwriting messaging system is preferred while intending to deliver contents with sincerity and emotion.

“…However, there is still a distinct lack of evidence to support its validity or reliability (e.g. Rosenthal and Lines [78], Williams et al [79], Lester et al [80], Klimoski and Rafaeli[81]). Further, many of the studies that do show some validity can be criticised for significant methodological flaws and the use of relatively small sample sizes to generate often widely generalised conclusions.…”
