So use what you learn in Free Graphology Examples as you learn it, step by step. Look for the emo­tional responsiveness of the writer, first. Then you will learn to follow that with how the individual thinks which you will cover in the next chapter.

Place your emotional Expression Chart on plate 3. Follow the instruc­tions for placing it carefully, and you will find the writer, Hamlin Garland, was very expressive of feelings, actually an extremist. This meant that he felt intensely, showed how he felt, and lived as he felt. This means that he would act before thinking, would speak or talk on impulse based on how he felt at the time.

Although he lived a great many years ago, you now can understand him, and further, you will be able to reconstruct something of how he wrote-for he was a famous fiction writer. What kind of fiction fits a highly emotional personality? Ask yourself the question and then consider. High emotions may be turbulent, quarrelsome, but you can take my word for it that he was not a fighter. Instead his writing, as you will come back to it later and study it as you gain more knowledge, shows a gracious gentleman. Friendly because friendliness goes with emotional expressiveness. He wrote as he felt, and his heart rules. Therefore, he could write fiction that would reach the sympathies, and the heart strings of his readers. If he had been a religious writer, he would have been an evangelical writer, but he was not. He was a fiction writer, and fiction and emotionalism, heart appeal, go with romantic fiction.
