THE MEANING BEHIND THE WORDS

The video talks about Graphology, the pseudoscience that studies and analyses the handwriting. According to the video, a graphologist can know many things about someone's personality by studying his style of writing.

They examine many features. For example, the size: if you write with big letters it means that you have a big ego and you are so confident, but if you use small letters then you're less confident. Also the spacing: if you put the words far apart you're a lonely person but if you put them close together you're always surrounded. They look at the pressure: if the words are thick and dark it means agravation or frustration; light and whispy, displeassure; constant and even, happiness and flexibility.The experts think that the shape of your As and Os could tell how open you are with people. If they are loose you're expressive but if they look tight you tend to hide your feelings.
And the last characteristic is the slant: if it goes forwards you are expressive but if it goes backwards you are shy.

After this fast graphology course, we can see interviews with some people that have different kinds of temperament: outgoing, intellectual, shy. They talk about theirselves while the narrator expounds the connection between these people's handwriting and their personality.
