Graphical Analysis

[AussieMick]

Steve, I'd say an article intent (IMO) on attacking Pres Trump doesnt qualify as a learned treatise on graphology / graphical analysis.

But ... yep, there are lots of charlatans that write books about graphology and sell themselves as personality experts.

Some basic thoughts though ... if a person sends me a handwritten letter which is untidy and difficult to read, my reaction is that he/she doesnt much care about me. I'd think that person was self-centred and probably not open to discussion. If though the handwriting was extremely neat and all the letters perfectly formed, I might conclude the person was a perfectionist who was anxious not to be misunderstood. If a person sends me an email (or a post to this forum) which has words missing, I deduce they have written it quickly and may not have re-read it and, yes stretching the bow, that their thoughts might not be as soundly based as they claim. Ok, thats not exactly graphical analysis but the logic is similar.

D'Nealian? That's fine. But when I see teenagers unable to hold a pencil or biro correctly and who write characters that are illegible I cringe and hope that they are not going to work in a responsible job.

Graphology?

I try to keep an open mind. There are plenty of organisations which see potential in graphology.
( Google search on use of graphology in recruitment and you get 118,000 results )

The writer of this concludes its not much use (if any)
