最灵“占心术”：信手涂鸦看穿你的心

　　Stuck somewhere, waiting or listening with a pen in your hand? The chances are you’ll start doodling. And what you choose to doodle will reveal volumes about your personality and mood。

　　当你被堵在某地的时候，不管事等着还是在听东西手里会不会有一支笔呢？这是你开始涂鸦的绝好机会。当然，你所写所画的东西还是多少会泄露一些你的性格特点和情绪。

　　‘We tend to doodle when we are bored or stressed,’ says Ruth Rostron, professional handwriting analyst and vice-chair of the British Institute of Graphologists。

　　“当我们压力大或是厌烦的时候我们都会信手涂鸦。”专业的笔记分析家，英国笔迹协会的副会长罗斯·罗斯同这样说到。

　　According to Rostron, you should also look at how a doodle is drawn to find out its true meaning。

　　根据罗斯同的理论，你应该注意人们怎么样涂鸦，这样才能挖掘出真正的内在含义。

　　‘Emotional people who want harmony and crave affection tend to use rounded shapes and curved lines. Down-to-earth, practical types tend to use straight lines and squares. Determined people will use corners, zigzags and triangles, while more hesitant types use light, sketchy strokes。

　　“那些寻求和谐或者吸引关注的易激动的人常常会画圆型的图案或者曲线型的图案。而现实类型的人则会选择方块和直线。意志坚定的人会画出之字形图案或者三角形图案，而那些犹豫的人下笔会相对较轻。”

　　‘A large doodle shows a person is confident and outgoing, while a small one suggests the person prefers to observe rather than participate.’

　　“大型的涂鸦可以看出这个人自信且外向，而小型的则说明相对于参与而言，这个人更愿意围观。”

　　FACES 面部表情

　　The expression on a doodled face is often a good indication of the mood or character of the person who has drawn it. A nicely drawn, good-looking face suggests you see the good in others. If you sketch weird or ugly faces, you are probably mistrustful。

　　涂鸦的面部表情通常透露出了作画者的性格或心情。精心刻画，好看的脸庞暗示说你看到的是别人的优点。而奇怪的丑陋的脸庞则说明你内心很多疑。

　　Comic faces demonstrate a desire to be the centre of attention. Child-like doodles of faces suggest neediness. Profiles indicate you’re an introvert。

　　漫画形式的脸则说明绘画者希望成为焦点。小孩样子的脸暗示作画者很贫穷。剖面图则表明绘画者十分内向。

　　CHESS BOARD 棋盘图片

　　The black and white chequerboard doodle suggests patience and persistence. Perhaps you are weighing-up various options regarding a tricky situation?

　　黑白两色的棋盘涂鸦解释了绘画者的耐心和耐力。或许你正在面对比较纠结境地中的多种选择？

　　It’s also the favourite doodle of people who are prone to mood swings。

　　这也是说明绘画者情绪波动的最好证明。

　　FLOWERS 花朵

　　Soft, rounded petals around a circular flower centre suggest an amiable, family-centric person。

　　若花心是圆形的，但是花瓣确是尖的，那么，在你坚强的防备下有可能有一颗温暖的心。

　　If you doodle a bunch of perky-looking flowers you are likely to be sociable. Drooping flower heads, on the other hand, indicate you’re burdened by worry。

　　如果你画了一束亮眼的花，那么你是个好交际的人。而画着低着头的花，则说明你忧虑过度。

　　BUTTER 黄油

　　Flighty and romantic, fluttering butterflies, birds and bees suggest you don’t want to be tied down — or landed with difficult tasks or problems。

　　浪漫却又多情的蝴蝶，鸟儿和蜜蜂暗示了你不希望受束缚，或是正在解决较为困难的问题和任务。

　　HEARTS 心

　　Obviously a romantic doodle. Drawing a heart indicates you’re in love with love。

　　显然这是很浪漫的涂鸦，它暗示了你正被爱包围。

　　INTRICATE PATTERNS 复杂的图案

　　Busy, highly-detailed doodles are often drawn by people with an obsessive nature, who simply will not let go of their ambitions or loved ones. This type of drawing is often a favourite with extreme introverts。

　　那些复杂且详细的图案通常是那些有强迫症特质的人画出来的，他们总是很单纯的想释放或者去爱别人。对于那些极端内向的人来说，这种类型是他们最喜欢的。

　　STAIRS OR LADDER 楼梯或梯子

　　Symbols of ambition and a willingness to work your way methodically ‘up the ladder’ in life, drawings of stairs and ladders also often indicate you have an important, long-term task in hand. They can represent a spiritual quest, too, perhaps a desire to be happier or more relaxed。

　　梯子型和楼梯型的图案暗示了绘画者的野心以及不愿意以固定模式工作的思想，同时，也暗示了你手中有一个重要并且长期的任务需要完成，而这些图案还代表了一种精神上的需要，也许你需要更放松更高兴。

　　Personality symbols: Ladders suggest ambition, stick men success and houses a need for security

　　而从人格方面来说，梯子代表了抱负，努力成功的人和一个寻求安全感的家。

　　ARROWS 箭头

　　A determined person with a specific goal in mind will draw arrows, subconsciously ‘aiming’ at his or her ‘target’。

　　一个有坚定信心和明确目标的人会画箭头，潜意识的瞄准他的目标。

　　BOATS AND PLANES 船或飞机

　　Doodling any form of transport often indicates a desire to escape from a situation。

　　不论何种的交通方式，若是绘画者画出，则说明他想要从某种环境中逃离。

　　HOUSE 房子

　　This common doodle indicates a need for security. A neat drawing of a house suggests a secure home life, a more messy-looking sketch (especially one without windows) indicates unhappiness with your home life。

　　这个再普通不过的涂鸦实际上暗示了绘画者缺乏安全感。整洁的家的图案表明绘画者安定的家庭生活，而略显凌乱尤其是没有窗户的房子则显示出你家庭生活方面的不顺利。

　　A house pictured on its own on top of a hill suggests you’re feeling isolated and lonely。

　　若是房子画在山顶上则说明目前你很孤独无助。

　　SPIDER'S WEB蜘蛛网

　　This can symbolise a feeling of being trapped — or the desire to entice someone into a particular relationship or situation。

　　蜘蛛网则是说明了一种被困住的状态，或是想引诱别人进入一种状态或关系的愿望。

　　NAMES OR INITIALS 名字或首字母

　　Doodling your name or initials is common for those who enjoy being the centre of attention. Teenagers often doodle just their first name or the initial of their Christian name, indicating a desire to break away from the family and do their own thing。

　　写名字或者首字母说明希望成为中心。年轻人经常会写他们的名或是教名的首字母，实际上暗示了他们希望独立并作自己的事情。

　　Doodling someone else’s name, on the other hand, shows they are in your thoughts — perhaps romantically or because they are a presenting a problem you need to deal with。而写别人的名字，则暗示了其实他们一直都在你的想法中，或者说是他们一直都存在在你想解决的问题中。

　　STARS星星

　　Stars are often drawn by ambitious people. Lots of little stars indicate optimism. If you’ve drawn one big, bold, embellished star, you’ve got a definite goal in your sights。

　　星星通常是有抱负的人的选择。大量的小星星是乐观的象征。如果你画了一个又大又明亮的星星，那么其实你已经有了明确的目标了。

　　SQUARES OR BOXES方形图案或者盒子

　　Drawing a square indicates you want control of a situation — that you are thinking through a problem。

　　画这样类型的图案说明你想掌控某一局面，比如说是你正在思考的问题。

　　If your squares progress to a cube or box, you’re likely to be a very efficient, analytical person who can deal with difficult situations with little fuss。

　　如果这方形的图案是立方体或者盒子，那么你可能就是非常有效率并且善于分析的人，能很好的解决较困难的问题。

　　ZIGZAGS之字形图案

　　Zigzags are a particularly common doodle and show energetic thinking and a desire to get on with things。

　　之字形图案是特别普通的一种涂鸦，它显示出绘画人积极有力的想法和继续干事情的愿望。

　　STICK FIGURE 简笔画

　　Commonly doodled by highly successful people, the simple stick figure reveals someone who is in control of their emotions and incredibly focused on their goals in life。
