 The importance of using graphology to hire the best personnel
There are over 6,000 U.S. businesses utilizing handwriting analysis to help them screen their employee and management candidates. This is a growing field, as more and more
businesses are using graphology to help choose the best personnel, both employees and management, to operate their company.
These companies are taking advantage of graphology, handwriting analysis, to choose the best personnel available, while eliminating the worst candidates that apply for employment.
Your company relies on your personnel for all operations of your business. How important do you consider the people that actually run your business? If you have a mediocre staff, you can
expect mediocre results, and revenue. If you have the best personnel, your company will rise above the competition, and be successful.

 Handwriting analysis reveal all aspects of your personality
Handwriting analysis reveals all aspects of an individual's personality and character; even those they themselves are unaware of, or uncertain of. On the surface; the idea may
sound preposterous; but it is based on sound and scientific principles.
Once you understand why graphology is valid and works; then you can see the applications it has for the employers. You are able to make better employment choices.
Everyone has personal strengths and weaknesses. The best and most productive personnel are those who are dominated by strong points, and have only a few weaknesses.
First, I want you to continue reading so you can understand how the science of graphology works; then I'll discuss the most common areas I can help you with respect to
the operation of your team.

 Graphology, handwriting analysis, is a science; based on imperical data
Graphology is the science of determining personality and characteristic traits by
analyzing their handwriting. But it should really be called "brainwriting"; the reason why graphology is a branch of psychology.
Contrary to some popular beliefs; graphology, or handwriting analysis is not the same as palm reading. We are scientists specializing in the field
of personality and character traits from an individual's handwriting. This science is based on imperical data gathered over the last 130 years.
To understand how graphology works; continue reading this web page.
It is the brain and not the hand that really writes; the handwriting is so fast and automatic, that this becomes "habit" which is controlled by the brain. Words and sentences
are prepared with a single thought, rather than numerous individual thoughts, one single letter at a time. The entire handwriting is performed automatically and without conscious thought on any individual letter formation once an
individual has reached "graphic maturity".
[Once a person has learned to write the alphabet as a child; he becomes comfortable with producing letter formations without contemplating on the letter form itself; he or she will then fall into the category with most writers. They will have reached "graphic maturity"]
Because we are not "consciously" thinking while we are writing. Handwriting is no longer a funciton of the hand and the arm. The brain controls all this quick and habitual writing habits including the "graphic impressions" which are the individual's brain picture
incorporated for each letter's master pattern and the usages of connectors. This is why handwritings are so varied within the same language, and yet can still retain legibility. [Some handwritings are not at all legible, but this is an issue for another discussion]
Our "unconscious" mind comes into play here, and shows up in various manifestations in the handwriting. I often associate handwriting as speech pattern on paper. Speech as a form of communication is more than just the words that are spoken, but also incorporates
the tonal quality of the voice, and the body posture as he or she speaks. These tonal differentations and body posture translate to the paper as the individual is writing. Speaking is also as automatic as handwriting. One doesn't consciously contemplate each syllable spoken.
There is a "fluency" in speech, and the same applies to handwriting. Speech can be expressed in emotional terms such as happy, enthusiastic, sad, angry, depressed, etc. The same can be said of handwriting.
Would you believe the person that told you a story, but never looked you straight in the eye? You might pick up on shyness, or dishonesty from their body language. So instead of this person telling this story, what if he wrote it down on paper. Don't you think
the same aspects of his shyness and/or dishonesty as example would appear in the handwriting. Most people don't comprehend this, but it certainly does.
The difference with the above analogy, is that the average person can understand the verbal tones, intonations, body and facial language of another person. We are ingrained with it at an early age. But with handwriting analysis, it is a specialized science; taking years of intense
studying, training, and practice to comprehend and utilize.

 Personality traits are identified by our deviation according to "universal concepts" from "copybook"
We are taught to handwrite from the same "copybook" [Copybook, is the original letter formations, both lower and upper case and numbers we are originally taught in school on how to properly form our letters. Since copybook does not vary much between American schools; we have
an excellent "standard", or constant base, in which to work from] then how we change and deviate our handwriting as we grow, is purely by an individual's choice. It is these deviations that graphologists will use to determine the particular
personality and character traits of the individual. It is only necessary to know the copybook of any other language in order to determine the changes the writer has made in his or her style.
Universal conceptsare the basis for understanding what handwriting traits relate and indicate which personality traits. Universal concepts are those which transcend cultures and are common throughout the world.
"Up" is a universal concept, referring to good, positive, happy, success, optimism, etc; while "down" is a negative universal concept meaning bad, depressed, unhappy, failure, pessimism, loss, etc. "Left" and "right" are two other universal concepts which are similar to "up" and "down".
Still there are some differences here too. "Left" can also refer to odd, unusual, strange; hence the term, "He acts like he's out in left field". There are many of these universal concepts which show up through a person's unconscious as they are writing.
Let's see how these "universal concepts" can apply to handwriting. Take a look at a sample of your own handwriting and use a sample that was written on unlined paper. The baseline is the imaginary line where all the letters of the words sit on. Is your baseline going "up"; is it going
"straight across", or is it going "down". The ascending baseline or the one going "up" is a sign of enthusiasm and optimism. The person unconsciously and habitually "feels up!". The baseline going "down" discloses, either fatigue [downhill baselines can often occur when the writer is just plain
exhausted. He or she is falling asleep and when one falls asleep while working what happens to the head? That's right, it drops "down"] or depression. People who consistently write with a downhill or descending baseline consistently "feel down"
The above analogy is just one of hundreds. Another one is in preparing the t-bar after the rest of the word is completed. Do you set this bar high on the stem or low? Let's imagine that you are a high jumper in the Olympics. Do you ask for the bar to be set high so you can win a medal or low
in comparison to the other athletes because it is easier to accomplish! Now, it is easy to understand the graphology trait of the t-bar hieght referring to an individual's personal aspirations! Ther person who sets the t-bar high on a the t-stem indicates a person with "high goals".

 What are the legal aspects of utilizing handwriting analysis for employment screening?
This is the biggest concern with employers today. Is this legal? The answer is yes! It is legal in all
of the 50 states across the country.
Handwriting analysis does not violate any labor laws or any civil rights. It does not discriminate according to sex,
race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, or age.
In fact, the graphologist never sees the candidate. It is not necessary. All we want is the sample of the handwriting,
and the personality and character traits that are needed to perform the duties of the job function. We will analyze the sample
according to those parameters.
