SSS – The only integrated system

The SSS is the only course that integrates the trait stroke method with the following aspects of the Gestalt system:

1. the contraction-release system originally expounded by Klages;
2. Pulver’s theory of depth as an unconscious expression of the writer’s psychic and physical energy;
3. Saudek’s thesis of writing speed as one of the foundations upon which other data rests.

Based upon the above theories, the SSS analyzes four major components of handwriting, namely:

1. vertical movement
2. horizontal movement
3. form and
4. depth

The SSS course is not alone in utilizing the above theories. They are incorporated to a greater or lesser degree in most contemporary graphological schools.

The SSS course, however, combines all of these fundamental theories in one logical system.

The SSS was inspired by the principles of Otto Junge’s “Rational Graphology” in that it is based upon objective measurements and ratings and assigns equal quantitative weight to each handwriting component.

The SSS differs from Rational Graphology in that it is more systematically organized. Junge designed 100 “Expression Tables” and evaluated between ten and twenty variables for one personality trait. The various traits were grouped in five syndromes with the smallest syndrome containing five and the largest encompassing forty-two characteristics. The SSS consistently evaluates ten components per trait. The traits are then grouped in eight syndromes of five traits each.

The SSS is designed in a logical sequence so that by executing six steps the analyst automatically produces an accurate, objective analysis every time.
