Can you your signature to change during your life, as your signature reflects how you evolve as a person. It is also identify any of the people? A Your formal signature A signature usually contains either a first name and a surname, or initials and a surname, or, less frequently a first name and initials. Your first name represents your private or family self, and your surname represents your public self, how you are socially and at work.
The more space there is between your name and surname, the more you wish to keep your public and private self separate. C If you use only initials either for your first name or your surname in your signature, this means that you are more secretive about this part of your personality your private or public persona.
Legibility A legible signature, where names can be clearly read, implies that you D are a person with clear ideas and objectives. The more illegible your signature is, the less assertive you are as a person, and the more you tend to avoid conflict. Angle Most signatures are horizontal, rising, or descending. A rising signature means that you are the kind of person who, when faced with problems, will work to overcome them.
Usually optimistic , you are in control and ambitious. E A descending signature means that you have a tendency to get depressed and give up when faced with problems, and lack self-confidence. A horizontal signature suggests an emotionally stable person who is well-balanced and generally satisfied with the way their life is going.
F Size If your signature is bigger than the rest of the letter or document you have written, that means that you are self-confident and have quite a high opinion of yourself. Some people actually sign in capital letters, which suggests they are arrogant rather than self-confident.
People whose signature is smaller than the rest of the text may be insecure and have low self-esteem.
