Among the following which one is the single most useful handwriting identification characteristics :

  • A.Connectives
  • B.Spacing
  • C.Line quality
  • D.Pictorial effect

Answer: C

The single most useful characteristic is line quality.

Line quality is the visible record of how the pen moved: its speed, fluency, pressure and rhythm, shown in the shading, tapered starts and finishes and smoothness of the strokes. Writing at natural speed produces it unconsciously, and it is the feature a forger finds hardest to reproduce, because copying the form forces slow, careful writing. That makes it the most useful single feature both for identifying a writer and for detecting forgery.

Connectives, spacing and pictorial effect (the overall appearance) are useful too, but each is easier to imitate or varies more within one person's writing.
