Usually, I refrain from analysing signatures unless they are accompanied by the writers’ handwriting samples. Yet, some people insist on signature analysis. I avoid it because if the signature is analysed in isolation, there are chances of me going wrong about the personality of the writer.The analysis could be flawed because the handwriting shows how the person is, whereas his signature reveals how he wants the world to see him. Hence, it is possible that a signature analysis in isolation can mislead me. The signature portrays a face about the writer, which may not be closer to his true personality.

Nevertheless, signatures cannot be written off as unimportant because though they may not be adequate for the purpose of a complete handwriting analysis, they are a part and parcel of the writers’ lives. According to signature analysis, every time you draw your signature, you make a statement to yourself and to the rest of the world, saying, “See, this is who I am.” It means that the signature is a reflection of how one behaves in public and how one handles oneself.
