A signature is your public face; it represents you even in your absence. That is why it is very important for each of us to have a healthy signature.<\/p>\n<p>A signature has several elements that are analysed by a handwriting analyst. Its various components such as size, shape, slant, speed, direction, pressure, height, connection, disconnection, loops, location, beginning stroke and terminating stroke are scrutinised carefully by a graphologist, especially in relation to the writer&#8217;s overall handwriting if it is available for reference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/signature-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Types of Signatures You Must Avoid<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Should you underline your signature?<\/h3>\n<p>Besides, there is one key element of a signature: the underscore or underline. People want to know what it means if someone uses an underscore or underline beneath a signature, and whether they should use it in their own signatures.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 436px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/handwriting-signature-analysis7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"http:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/handwriting-signature-analysis7.jpg\" alt=\"underline in signature with two dots should you underline your signature\" width=\"426\" height=\"323\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Should you underline your signature<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before I explain to you what an underscore means in a signature, I want to make it clear that it is good if your signature has it. But that does not mean those who do not use an underscore have an imperfect signature.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, a graphologist uses his discretion to decide whether an underscore is required in a signature or not. Sometimes, a handwriting analyst may even advise a writer to get rid of the underscore if he discovers that its direction or shape is inappropriate.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of signature<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Single underline<\/h3>\n<p>A simple underline indicates a healthy self-confidence and reaffirmation of the self. It indicates that person has a healthy ego, confidence. So, should you underline your signature? Yes. But consult a handwriting analyst to know more about what changes you need to make in your signature.<\/p>\n<h3>2. More than one underline<\/h3>\n<p>If there are several underscores, one may feel one&#8217;s public self-worth is inadequate. One may doubt his importance in relation to others around him. He is haunted by feelings of imperfections and incompleteness.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Line above the signature<\/h3>\n<p>It shows that the writer has a feeling is self-hiding and is plagued by self-doubt. They do not want to reveal their true nature to others. In a disorganised handwriting, this could be a deceptive personality trait.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/07\/signature1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3>4. Line through the signature<\/h3>\n<p>It shows that the writer puts himself in social jeopardy and has a tendency to self-destruct. The writer often ends up undoing his achievements. We have discussed this personality trait in detail in various articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/signature-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signature analysis<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/watch-out-dont-cross-that-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suicidal tendency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Underline going backwards<\/h3>\n<p>This\u00a0 shows that the writer has some unresolved issues in the past which he is unable to deal with. This shows that the writer&#8217;s mind takes a train back to those issues and feels tormented by them.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Signature with underline and two dots<\/h3>\n<p>This shows that the writer has a healthy self-confidence and he is also capable of holding his ground. Such writers feel bad if their presence is not acknowledged by others.<\/p>\n<h3>Final words<\/h3>\n<p>Does it mean that everyone can underline their signatures? A simple answer is no. Underline is not suitable for everyone. Some signatures need it, some do not. And that can be determined only after <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/change-your-signature\/\">analysing the signature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/best-signature-style\/\">Best Signature Style<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"6587ada91bcda6cf6e3707e649b65b83\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px;\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script async defer src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyWriteChoice\/\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-share=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People want to know what it means if someone uses an underscore or underline beneath a signature, and whether they should use it in their own signatures.
