Doodle Analysis
What is a 'doodle' ?
“Absent–minded scrawl or scribble usually executed in some unexpected place such as the margin of a book…” http://www.britannica.com
A 'doodle' is a coverall name for scribbles and little drawings. There are many different types of doodles, ranging from simple double retracing or embellishing letters within a printed text to intricate and extensive drawings. A common source of doodles is a note pad next to the phone. Doodles are considered to be expressions of the subconscious mind and as such can reveal a lot about a person's mood and train of thought at the point of drawing; they are especially valuable to the Graphologist when used in conjunction with samples of the doodler's handwriting.
Trees
Tree doodles are extremely interesting and I find them to be the perfect analysis medium alongside handwriting, especially for event presentations where time is limited. I can quickly and incredibly accurately use the doodle as a resource to tap into the subconscious mind of clients.
What do we look at?
Without giving too much away and therefore influencing potential tree doodlers - the tree itself is separated into many different parts:
Is It accurate?
I'm constantly amazed at this medium of analysis and I have used tree doodle analysis now for several years. It originally was an ice breaking, novelty talking point, but due to fantastic results and feedback, I use it now as a very valuable supplement to handwriting analysis wherever I appear at events and presentations. It does tend to raise eyebrows and even some disbelief at first, but I can honestly say 90% of the time people are genuinely amazed at how quick I can perform an analysis.
It works on several levels, not the least being that because of the seemingly innocuous request to 'draw a tree, take as much time and care with it as you want' most people just relax, enjoy the challenge and let their personality flow into the doodle. The extent of the received doodles varies incredibly from a outline shape to genuine works of art . I now have a collection of hundreds of tree doodles ever expanding my fascination for this intriguing 'branch' of Graphology
I have several hundred samples in my resource catalogue of such doodles, some are incredible and I will keep them for my proposed book on the subject - however some superb examples of tree doodles can be seen online by googling: https://www.google.co.uk/search?

What do we look at?
Without giving too much away and therefore influencing potential tree doodlers - the tree itself is separated into many different parts:
- Overall size
- Spatial placement on the page
- Crown - Canopy : shape / size / formation / embellishment
- Branch: type / formation
- Trunk type / size / width / embellishment
- Connection to ground
- Roots if any: size / shape / placement
- Horizon: level and type
- General surrounding additional doodles: sky / sun / flowers / animals / plants
- Colouring
- Pressure
- Finally, does it have a handwriting sample alongside and do the major graphological signs correlate?
