Predicting Human Behavior through Handwriting

Abstract

Handwriting Analysis is described as a scientific study. It is analysis of human handwriting. The scientific name for handwriting analysis is Graphology. It is a way of interpreting behaviour from peculiarities in handwriting. All that is part of the mind is reflected by an individual in many ways, writing being one. Professional handwriting examiners called graphologists predict the personality of the writer with a piece of handwriting. Accuracy of handwriting analysis depends on the skills of the graphologists. But manual process of handwriting analysis is costly. Hence the proposed methodology focuses on developing a tool for behaviour analysis which can predict the personality traits automatically with the help of a computer. In this paper a method has been proposed to predict the behaviour of a person from the letter slant, letter 'i', 'f', 'a', 'd', 'e', 'g' and so on. These parameters are input to the Artificial Neural Network which predicts the behaviour of the writer. Keywords: Graphology, Handwriting Analysis, Behaviour Analysis, Artificial Neural Network, Behaviour Prediction I.INTRODUCTION Graphology is a scientific method of identifying, evaluating and understanding personality through the strokes and patterns revealed by handwriting. Handwriting revealsthe true personality including emotional outlay, fears, honesty, many others. Each person has handwriting with its own style, moves. Using handwriting analysis anyone can predict of personality and behaviour of person effectively and reliably . Handwriting represents the mental status of a person and handwriting analysis is technique which useful in areas of social skills, achievements, thinking styles, or work habits. Handwriting also depicts the possible ways of a person's transactions with stress. Handwriting analysis isa study of graphic structures which are being generated on the white paper and all the characters of input handwriting are written separately. Professional handwriting examiners called graphologists often predict the personality of a person with a piece of handwriting. The graphologist provides a window to personality structure. By examining all characters of handwriting and interpreting them separately and together the graphologists generates a view writer's character traits. With the help of graphology, handwriting analysts predict the attitudes, qualities, sentiments or postures. In this paper, a method has been proposed to predict the behaviour of a person from the features extracted from his handwriting. The personality traits revealed by the slant and different characters as found in individual's handwriting are explored in this paper. To predict the actual personality of the individual there are various features, such as slant, size, pressure, upper zone or case(as in I, t, h, S, etc), lower zone (as in g, q, y, z, etc), word spacing, line spacing, page margins, middle zone or case(as in a, o, c, s, e, etc), arcade, garland, angle, thread and wavy line. Initiallyten characters areconsidered for predicting behaviour...

Human Behavior Identification Based on Graphology Using Artificial Neural Network

“…CNN and SVM classifiers were used. Chanchlani et al [8] created five labels for their dataset namely Persistent, Excitable, Criminal Intent, Narcissistic, Honest and self-centred. TensorFlow and OpenCV were used.…”

GrAI-pho-logy: Integration of Graphology With Artificial Intelligence

“…In recent years, graphology-based behavioural analysis has acquired prominence due to its broad range of applications in fields such as psychology, education, medicine, criminal detection, marriage guidance, commerce, and recruitment, etc. Several methods for predicting person behaviour based on graphology-based handwriting have been proposed in the literature; however, these methods require human intervention to identify behaviour [13,14]. It is observed that graphology-based human behaviour analysis lacks a mathematical foundation.…”
