Before beginning reading what I prepared for you, you have to take a piece of paper and draw whatever you want. Please don’t read the text below.
Ok!! Have you finished to draw? Now you can read the information.
According to some graphologists at any rate, doodles may hold the key to your responsibility. The underlying idea of graphology is simple: writing is an automatic action controlled by your subconscious. Whether you loop your letters or angle them, how you join them together, how you spread them over the blank page, indeed every tiny twitch of your writing fingers may betray something of your inner turmoil. While the finer points of graphology have never stood up to hard scientific testing, its basic premise is hard to deny, as anyone who has received a letter written in scrawling block capitals in green ink will confirm. So while I would not go so far as to claim absolute validity for what follows, it may be worth taking some notice of it.
-The first thing to look for is the position of the doodle on the page:
Extroverts doodle on the middle of the paper, showing their need to be at the center of things and the need for space.
Doodling at the left of the paper is sign of worry and fear for what the future may hold.
Doodling at the right shows impulsiveness.
If you draw at the bottom, it shows critical and practical approach, at times depression.
Drawing at the top of the page is a sign of enthusiasm, spirituality, and an unpractical approach.
-Now comes pressure: turn your paper over and hold it up to the light. Can you see a firm impression made by your pen or pencil?
§ HEAVY - could express energy, activity, at times aggression.
§ MEDIUM - points to a well-balanced personality.
§ LIGHT - could be evidence of sensitivity.
§ IRREGULAR - might indicate that the person's inner energy is not altogether regulated. A lack of stability and frequent changes in moods, restlessness, and impatience.
-Now, you have to look at he pictures and read their explanations, they are related to common shapes.
