Sheila Lowe - Certified Graphologist
With more than 38 years’ experience in the field of handwriting, Sheila Lowe has been qualified as a handwriting expert in the California Court system since 1985. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and was certified by the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation in 1981, as well as the Society of Handwriting Analysts in 1985. She is an active member of the National Association of Document Examiners.
9:00 to 9:15 Welcome, announcements from President Peggy Rondeau
9:15 to 10:00 a.m. “What Makes You Tick?” – American Professor of Psychology Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) is famous for his hierarchy of needs, proposed in his 1943 paper, “A Theory of Human Motivation.” In this paper, Maslow uses the terms Physiological, Safety, Belonging and Love, Esteem, and Self-Actualization. Sheila will show us how to detect these motives in handwriting, and how higher motives can only be addressed when lower motivations are fulfilled.
10:00 to 10:30 Networking break

1:10 to 3:00 p.m. “Finding Major Character Traits Using the Gestalt method of
Handwriting Analysis.” Graphoanalysis is an empirical approach that builds a picture of personality stroke by stroke, while Gestalt is a global approach, looking at the big picture. Sheila will show us how to assess the big picture; and how Graphologists use Space, Form, and Movement in personality assessment.
Also, “Possible Health Indications in Handwriting.” Disclaimer: One cannot
diagnose medical illness, such as heart disease, using handwriting analysis. However, there are possible indicators, and Sheila will show us examples of possible medical conditions in handwriting
