Background: The aim of the study is to clarify the beliefs and numerous doubts about the possible identification of personality in handwriting. The purpose of the described studies was to show an association between personality traits and handwriting features. The author aimed to verify whether or not there are any specific characteristics of writing in relation to personality traits. | Method: Two different studies have been described. A different number of subjects participated in the investigations and different techniques for personality assessment were used; however, the same set of handwriting features was analyzed in each study. In the first study the NEO-FFI (n=260) was used, while the EPQ-R (n=180) was used in the second study. The graphic characteristics of the handwriting samples were examined by forensic experts. | Results: The correlations between the personality traits and handwriting features were counted. The results showed that there were few significant correlations between handwriting parameters and personality traits, as measured by the NEO-FFI and EPQ-R. | Conclusions: No writing characteristics were specific to personality traits. There is no evidence for assessment of personality on the base of handwriting.

As the handwriting process is a multistage action, we start learning it in pre-school and complete it during the graphic maturity period. We begin with expressing our thoughts and emotions by means of images, to proceed with imitating parts of the writing signs, and in the next stage — their complete patterns. While learning how to write, we try to precisely reproduce a presented model. At this stage, the graphism demonstrates no individual features. Individualised handwriting occurs only after the writing activity has become automated. It is only then that the writer does not produce the letters or letter groups in the same manner. The factors which affect letter shaping, expressed in handwriting features, have a respective impact on the value and quality of the written record. The handwriting features can be numbered among so-called communication features. Since they are defined by means of description, the vast majority of handwriting features belong to low-specificity features. This also refers to handwriting development — a feature presented without a comprehensive and unambiguous classification.
