Preface - The system of handwriting analysis know as Grapho Analysis is not to be confused with out-dated graphology.

Grapho Analysis is exact, scientific—the result of more than forty-five years of painstaking research. It is a science, now used throughout the civilized world for both pleasure and profit.

01. Insurance Policy - You may be one of those readers who dislikes most heartily to take part in a conversation where one person keeps saying, I, I, until he wears out the pronoun. If you are we have something in common from the start, but no matter how I have tried to find a way to get away from this abominable I, it seems there is no way.

02. How You Feel - Do you jump at conclusions when you hear a bit of gossip or when you catch half of a TV newscast? Do you choke up quickly when you listen to a revivalist or a political speaker when he bears down hard on your feelings ? Are there times when you come down in the morning feeling fit as a fiddle, then suddenly find that you do not care what happens, the bottom of your world seems to have dropped out.

03. Do you think? - How you think is highly important to your success and happiness. It is equally important that you understand how other people think or understand, because if you possess a keen, comprehending mind it will be easy for you to think that others have your own capacity for understanding, and you may be frequently disappointed.

04. Your T's - You can get more facts about a writer from the small letter "t" than from any other single letter. For example, you can tell from an "a" or "o" whether a person is frank, deceitful, or given to kidding himself with half truths. A professional grapho analyst will find other values in the two circle letters.

With the small "t" you have a stem. You have a start for that stem, i.e., the stroke that may start from the base line and become part of the stem, but the initial stroke is not necessary.

05. Analyzing Handwriting - You have learned enough to start analyzing handwriting. It is true that you will not be able to tell everything about a writer, but you can get a definite and specific benefit from what you have learned. Furthermore, until you start using what you have learned, you are getting nothing but theory, and grapho analysis is not merely theory.

06. Mind vs. Muscles - Somehow the argument has been going on for years and years; only a doughty man would dare to guess how many. It has been an argument, though, as to whether a big muscled, "strong man" or the steel-nerved athlete, loses mental ability and vitality as his muscular power increases. Dour skeptics have pointed to the record of college football teams and sneered, "they graduate because they play football and win letters, not because they know what is in the books, and what the teachers have tried to give them."

07. Change You - "Grapho analysts tell us about our weak points but no one tells us how to correct them. If we can change our writing will it change us? Will we be able to overcome our weak points if we change our writing?"

Thousands of men and women in all walks of life have asked me, and asked other professional grapho analysts, this question.

08. The Famous - You live every day of your life as part of the greatest show in all history. You wake up and listen to long political speeches on your radio; you hear the neighbors quarreling in the next apartment one minute, and making up the next. You listen to evangelists who make every effort known to public speakers to stir your emotions, and you listen to and watch the latest TV star.

09. Criminal Type? - You have heard the term "criminal type". You may even have used it, and thought you knew what you were talking about. Actually crimes in the general sense are not committed by "types" but by people who pass among their neighbors as good fellows, or swell girls, but who have some weakness.

10. Handicapped - Wherever there is a functioning mind there may be writing, and no matter how it is written it will reveal the writer's mental habits. For ex­ample, for many years a Canadian named Andrew A. Gawley traveled with Ripley's "Believe It Or Not" shows. This was the first of many studies I have made of handless people who write with steel limbs.

11. Penmen - In the early days of grapho analysis one of the most interesting argu­ments against it was based on the idea that when a youngster learned muscular movement in school his handwriting pattern was set for life. School children learned to make their ovals and push and pull exercises in order to earn a Palmer Proficiency Certificate, or a Zaner & Bloser certifi­cate of penmanship skill, and a great many people believed that those school days settled the matter.

12. Homosexuals - A very famous woman medical doctor, with years of teaching in a famous medical college has this to say about sex when she was asked this question: "Why is it that there can never be a discussion of sex with an impersonal slant?" Her comment which follows is the finest brief concept of sex relationships I have ever heard from a speaker's platform: "With love the sex act is a sacrament. Without love, it is as exhilarating as spitting and gives relief in the same fashion."

13. Know People - Grapho analysis has given me one reward that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, or for that matter, in any other way I can describe. It has given me the ability to know people. All kinds of people. There have been famous religious leaders like Stephen S. Wise, the great Jewish Rabbi, and Hal Wallis, the famous motion picture producer.

14. How it Works - If you have learned enough about grapho analysis to protect yourself even in a small way, it has been worth while. In case you have gained knowledge that will help you understand yourself, your friends, people you do not know, then something has been added to the sum total of happiness, and that is worth the time.
