Graphology is the science and art of analysing handwriting to reveal the writer's personality. Your handwriting is unique. It is as characteristic of you as your fingerprints or the way you move. Some aspects will vary with your mood and stress level.

Handwriting could in fact be called brain writing. Messages from the brain travel through the nervous system to the hand and appear as writing on paper without any concious thought about aspects such as the shapes of letters or spaces between words.

Graphologists study all features of the handwriting. They look for the dominant features such as size, slant and pressure which occur all the time. These provide the fundamental basis of the interpretation. Other aspects such as the use of space, the kinds and degree of connection and the letter shapes all provide additional information about the personality of the writer. The skill of the graphologist is in weaving these interpretations into a description which catches the complexities of the human personality.

To a trained graphologist the ink trace left on the paper as you write can reveal:

Personnel Selection

Graphology is used by a growing number of large and small companies to help them in the crucially important task of selecting the right staff for vacant positions. The information from analyses can also help in the building of working teams.

Compatibility

Comparing the handwriting of two individuals who are considering either personal or business partnerships can reveal the areas where they are likely to be in agreement or conflict. This can help them to reach a better understanding of each other's needs and behaviour.

Career Guidance and Self Development

A handwriting analysis can provide information about your aptitudes, attitudes to life, motivations, drives, strengths and weaknesses. If you are choosing a career for the first time or considering a change of direction, or if you wish to understand why you have conflicting feelings or find particular situations stressful this information can be very valuable.
