Correlation vs causation

Difficult to isolate variables --> not testable

people claim that 'Heavy pressure indicates commitment and taking things seriously'

However there are too many variables,

type of pen used (ink vs ball point)

type of lead used in pencil (hb vs 2b)

type of mechanical pencil (e.g. Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil has a rotating lead --> creates sharper writing & illusion of heavy pressure on writing)

For young children: caused by weaker fine-motor skills

1. Slant

A left-slant tendency shows emotion and reserve.

2. Size

Large-size handwriting can mean being extroverted and outgoing, or it can mean that the writer puts on an act of confidence, although this behavior might not be exhibited by strangers.

Small size can, logically, mean the opposite. Small handwriting can also indicate a thinker and an academic, depending on other features in the script. 3. Pressure

Heavy pressure indicates commitment and taking things seriously, but if the pressure is excessively heavy, that writer gets very uptight at times and can react quickly to what they might see as criticism, even though none may have been intended.

Light pressure shows sensitivity to atmosphere and empathy to people, but can also if the pressure is uneven, show a lack of vitality
