  The pressure used when writing can reveal a lot about a person’s character. When someone presses down hard when writing, they are usually nervous. When someone writes lightly, they typically deal with unpleasant situations very calmly. People who press down a medium amount are often good at dealing with stress. You can use a pencil to draw a line that reaches for about 55 km, or to write up to 45,000 words. A ballpoint pen, on the other hand, can only draw a line between 1,200 to 2,300 m long. The colour of the ink we choose can tell us a few things about our personality. For example, people who choose green ink may show a desire to adapt, and a sociable person may choose blue ink. Red ink points to violence or dominance, and black ink suggests power. If you write using your right hand, you can read the writing on a pencil. If you use the other hand, the writing will usually be upside down. Writing using separate letters suggests that you’re spontaneous or artistic. Writing using attached letters indicates that you’re highly cautious. If your writing is in between the two, then you will have a balance between reason and feelings.
