Abstract

The following article consists on a reflection about the theoretical foundations of
Graphology, establishing that its study object, handwriting, is a projection act of the
psyche from the one who writes. The existence of a T Factor is proposed, being a
part of the basics for this process, a sort of constant and repetitive pattern that makes the act of handwriting become stable. This T Factor gives the basic to consider the fluctuations of handwriting such as reflections from unconscious contents, which could be translated into an interpretation of deep features of personality. Moreover, the methodological analysis of handwriting is treated, as well as the clinical significances of the test in vocational and professional direction
