Individual characteristics of handwriting. 

Individual characteristics of handwriting.
As considered in the discussion of the learning process, individual characteristics, unlike class characteristics, are thought of as unique to a specific writer. This is not quite true; it requires a combination of individual characteristics and frequency of occurrence to make an individual’s handwriting unique to him. Just as one number to a safe combination lock can be found in numerous other safes, a large enough series of numbers in a specific order will be unique to only one safe.
The following handwriting characteristics are some of those that tend to lend themselves to individualization and as such, are closely scrutinized by the examiner during a handwriting comparison.
