Psychographological examination is considered an unusual forensic study of handwriting, in which an expert determines the individual psychological characteristics of its author. With its help, an expert can distinguish male and female handwriting with a certain probability, Dmitry Deulin, Dean of the Faculty of Extreme Psychology at Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University, told socialbites.ca.
“Men’s handwriting is carefree, confident, hasty, untidy, ugly, sweeping, there is a strong print, sharp corners and spelling errors are more common. Women’s handwriting is cleaner, neater, more defined, more accurate, small unprinted lines predominate, and letters are more rounded. Masculinity and femininity are reflected in the handwriting,” Deulin explained.
According to the expert, there are different methods to determine gender based on handwriting. But such methods reveal the psychological essence of a person with normotypical feminine or masculine characteristics.
“In various disorders (for example, transsexualism), the person’s basic sexual characteristics and gender identity do not match. That’s why modern science continues to search for perfect methods to accurately diagnose a person’s sexual and gender identity based on their handwriting. Graphology also has a clinical aspect, for example, when various psychopathologies are diagnosed,” the expert concluded.
