What Your Signature Says About Your Personality

Let’s analyze your signature! Your signature might have a lot to say about your personality. As the lead investigator at Science of People, I am always looking for quirky science, fun research, and interesting behavioral cues.

When I stumbled upon some of the research on signatures, I knew I had to share it with you. If you can, get some signatures from your friends or colleagues to practice analyzing along with this video.

So I'm a balanced, organized, independent, and efficient person. Now I can prove this on job interviews by signing a piece of paper and showing this video.

[mpaoomp]

based on this, I think I might have multiple personality disorder

[waynegs]

Having studied graphology for many decades, your presentation was spot on! Congrats on getting it right.

[raularaujostrw]

Wow. This was quite interesting and around 80% of what you said are crystal clear in the case of me and my signature... it reflects my personality better than I ever thought it did: straight, balanced, in control, with a big ego (🙊) and so on. I found it fascinating! 💥

[arwabukhari]

My brother copies my signature and claims it to his, I wonder what that says about him

[tamtamz]

Wow, this is great. I started my business a year ago and I decided to include my signature on the company website because I felt it would be a good “personal” touch. According to this video my signature as displayed on my company website says that I’m: balanced/controlled, open/straight-forward, and independent. Spot on!

[alexisbudzisz]

My signature always ends with me stabbing someone in the eye with the pen. What does that tell about me?

[joystacy]

Wow I’m ambitious, optimistic, creative and got lots of vitality. I need to work on claiming my space more and being more independent. Such an interesting video, looking forward to more!

[NickFisherman]

First, I'm left handed. How does that play into signature analysis, or handwriting analysis in general? Remember that the sides of our hands always run across the ink/graphite, which impacts the direction of writing, regardless of personality.

Second, I have a client who takes up three signature spaces with her circled initials. So she's an independent and complicated narcissist, who doesn't care if she interferes with other people's need to sign after her.

[paoboonjinnz]

why this video doesnt get over a million views already? Thia is gold!!

[andrewgreen]

Hey Vanessa, really enjoyed watching you on TED talks, as you are a very charismatic speaker. Will be watching more of your videos.

[umerk]

Hi Vanessa, I absolutely love your channel - its like Shrine of Education and you being the Saint of Education. Actually, both perceptions are true how I feel. Every thing about the signatures scince are totally true in my case as an upwardly signiture style and also, the many people's signiture types I know of. At age 50, I still attend Financial Education Courses while an active fresh Member of a prestigious Toastmasters Club. Life has blessed me with many successes for which I have worked really hard, made sacrifices and traveled continents in order to have better life for my children, my family myself, my friends, and humanity in general.

Like all your other priceless contents/materials I watched, this is another masterpiece; I can't even tell you to keep up the good work because Saints don't need to be reminded of that, it's in their nature and its what's they do. Huge respect Saint Education - Vanessa.

Umer.

[HikaruSorano]

Well, 50/50. Mine is a work of art, it's big and takes more space than the given for a signature. I'll change the "Complicated" person for a "Complex" person, totally different things and I think more accurate. Sometimes your signature is how you built yourself throughout the years, so it's interesting to see.

[madeyed]

Love your presentation - easy to follow and on point. Mine is balance, confident, straight forward and independent mind. Wish i have a big ambitious - but I am quite content with life and it shows in my signature, LOL

[sohinisarkarblogs]

Well it totally worked with me... completely matched with my personality traits. Good job!

[Kholdie]

I literally have a John Hancock-like signature. Upward slant, legible letters, bold capitals, a few embellishments... Interesting video, Vanessa!

[prabhurajswami]

Thank you Vanessa ma'am. Whatever you told in the video was very accurate about my personality.
I will definitely make some changes in my signature to make my personality better

[celumusazikalala]

I was very ignorant about the concept of signatures. Thank you.

[Graphologymadesimple]

Great video Vanessa. Your blog post too explains the concepts in a simple manner! And I can see in the word "signature" at the start that you have long and high t bar. It clearly shows that you dream big and have confidence to make them true!
