Team Cosmo India Tried the Art of Handwriting Analysis

Are you someone who has leadership skills? Do you tend to save and not spend? Or do you have the eye to catch someone lying? Surprisingly, all this and more than 5,000 other personality traits can be revealed simply by the way you write.

 

Four members of Team Cosmopolitan India sent their handwriting samples to Mr Vinit Bansode, India’s leading graphologist (one who studies handwriting and signature) and life coach, with a stellar list of clientele, including country’s top businessmen politicians, sportspersons and Bollywood celebrities.

According to Mr Bansode, “Changing the way you write can change your approach to life. Graphology is proven science that can express the current thought pattern of a person by the way they present their writings. It’s not the written matter; it’s the handwriting that needs to be read.” The way to change is not merely to compel oneself to follow the habit. Instead, a small graphology exercise on focus can help bring about the change!

 

He suggests practising to write a little something - giving heavy pressure on the paper - every morning as soon as you wake up. This needs to be done first thing in the morning before you get involved reading the newspaper or responding to notifications on your smartphone. Inculcating this habit will help improve focus and concentration and will make you put thought into every action (*something everyone on social media needs to do).
