Commonly asked questions:
WHAT IS GRAPHOLOGY?
Graphology is a highly accurate
method of evaluating handwriting features to determine character, personality,
disposition and aptitudes.
HOW IS HANDWRITING ANALYSIS USED?
As an accurate Behavioral Profiling tool, handwriting analysis is highly useful
in any situation involving people.
- Business and Industry: Personnel selection, employee
promotion and review, counseling and motivation of staff. Time and money
are saved by choosing the right person with the right skills and
personality for the job.
- Document Examination: Signature verification, anonymous
letter evaluation, detection of forged or altered documents.
- Law: An effective method for attorneys in screening
prospective jurors and understanding clients, jury members, key witnesses,
opposing counsel and judges.
- Criminology: Determination of dishonesty and potentially
dangerous behavior.
- Psychology and Counseling: Detection and understanding
of emotional problems, fears, inhibitions and general social traits.
- Education: Analysis of children's thinking styles,
aptitudes, potential, and mental or emotional problems. The value of
graphology to instructors and teachers far surpasses any other projective
test.
- Relationships: Compatibility for marriage, social, or
business arrangements, understanding significant others, family members,
co-workers and friends from the inside out.
- Self-Understanding: Graphology can give a very accurate
and objective look at who you are--your strengths, weaknesses, and special
skills.
WHAT DOES GRAPHOLOGY REVEAL?
Thought patterns, social traits, emotional makeup, integrity, goal orientation,
fears, defense mechanisms, aptitudes, and a host of other personality traits.
It is an accurate reflection of character to those trained to understand it.
HOW DOES HANDWRITING REFLECT PERSONALITY?
The act of writing is a complex series of actions involving the writer's
nervous system, physical state, emotions, and disposition. When we pick up a
pen or pencil to write, the brain sends messages to the hand and arm muscles,
directing the marks left on paper. The lines, curves, loops, and dots that result
are all graphic indications of the inner self, a record of the psychomotor
impulses of the writer. Although the writing instrument is held in the hand (or
sometimes in the mouth, foot, the crook of the arm, etc.) it is the brain which
impels us to write. Handwriting is brainwriting. Like facial expressions,
bodily movements and other individualized mannerisms, handwriting reflects the
thoughts, feelings and habits present at the moment the writer places pen to
paper.
BUT MY WRITING CHANGES FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT...
Your writing changes from day to day because you are a living being with
variable thoughts, moods, and physical states and because writing is highly
sensitive to these variables. A letter to your mother might be in a different
style than a shopping list, for example. The basic features of your writing are
not likely to change much from one day to the next, but the analysis will be
more accurate if you provide writing samples from different situations. The
more writing you provide, the more of your true nature will show through.
