" GRAPHOLOGY As An Effective Tool In Selection"
Here is an excerpt from my Research Report. Iam myself an Amateur Graphologist and consider it to be a real Effective Tool.

Handwriting analysis also called graphology, is scientific .The pattern of characteristics – potentials, traits, talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, orientations, intellect, values, and physical well- being – that make up the complex human being are all encoded in handwriting every time pen is put to paper.
Handwriting is comprised of many diverse elements – various strokes, such as I dots, hooks, t-bars, and loops – connected together to form letters, words, and sentences. When analyzed, these strokes can be decoded to reveal any and all of the aspects of personality. While graphology does pinpoint behavioral traits, it can’t be used to deduce any information of a discriminatory nature, such as your age, sex, or national origin. Even the writing of handicapped individuals, who may use their teeth or toes to communicate, can’t be discerned as such.
Handwriting analysis is a psychological tool, a scientific assessment method that shouldn’t be confused with any of the so-called occult art such as astrology. Graphology is not predictive; it is a means to evaluate personality accurately as it exists in the present, not in the past or future.
Moreover graphology is a self -validating science. This means the credibility of the method can be proven immediately by the feedback you get from the graphologist. Validation of handwriting analysis has also come from the scientific community itself. Various comparisons have been made between psychological tests and graphology with the same caliber of information revealed by both. In many cases, in fact, handwriting analysis proved to be more thorough and effective in assessing behavioral patterns than slandered psychological tests.
An individual's physiological and psychological functions are depicted in a person's handwriting. The act of writing contains spontaneous actions for the purpose of communicating ideas. The examination of a written specimen is the legal basis for forensic identification of an individual. The consistency of script features with their graphometric measurements is repeatable and reliable. Writing is expressive behavior and communicates personality characteristics.
The appearance of the written specimen and the tactile sensation of the written performance are the communication vehicles. Writing is a learned habit where the writer has refashioned basic forms. The look and feel of writing dictates our style of writing rather than our formal training. Your writing is the result of your perception of your pen-stroke's touch and visual images.
The act of handwriting uniquely fulfills the requirements for a projective personality test. The writer records responses to testing stimuli by writing. The writer spontaneously constructs random parts (strokes) to form known patterns (letters) into communicated ideas (words). Imposed organization to these ideas (sentences) in a limited area (page) conveys a conscious creative purpose (message). The physical data is recorded as a written specimen.
The conditions for a projective personality test are interpretative, constructive, cathartic, constitutive, and creative according to Lawrence K. Frank's grouping of projective techniques. Interpretative is to generate meaningless patterns. The writing equivalent of drawing strokes. Constructive is to place known parts into patterns. Linking letters to construct words is part of writing. Cathartic is to project and release emotions. The writing performance is an emotional release. Constitutive is to impose organization upon chaotic material. Maintaining sentence structure, filling in spaces with capitals and periods, keeping a written baseline, starting and finishing lines imposes structural organization. Creative is to generate a coherent message. The purpose of writing is to create a coherent message for the reader. The act of writing satisfies the test conditions for graphically depicting personality.
The act of writing contains human physiological and neural pathway requirements for extremely complex functions. The tactile manipulation of the writing instrument while composing a creative message involves a myriad of brain activities. Writing combines and uses elements of speaking, reading, composing, and eye-hand coordination. It is difficult to perform other tasks while writing such as exercising, holding a conversation, and operating a computer. The series execution of writing contains advanced prioritized planning and parallel cognition. Dynamically integrating perception, motion, and cognition is an involved task requiring your full attention. Writing is projecting a personality description. A particular graphic stroke-structure relates to a specific behavior or underlying disposition. The test process is the systematic observation of graphic signs or written indicators. Behavior, defined here as the observable compendium of traits, is measured while the subject is unaware of the test. The subject cannot significantly alter the test procedure or the findings. A graphic indicator is an expressive movement that is the connecting link to personality. The graphic indicator is a visible sign or symbol of an invisible behavioral attribute. Mathematical, engineering, and scientific principles can be applied to the graphic symbols to understand an individual. A pattern of behavior is determined from these graphic gestures and their inter-relationships.
In forensics, the routinely examined written specimen is used to identify a particular writer. Oriental ideograms are considered picture or symbolic writing and do not apply. When you are writing your hand and fingers are moving faster than you can consciously control them, but they are under control when you draw or paint. The majority of graphometric measurements are stable from test to retest and consistent with time.
Another individual cannot duplicate a person’s writing rhythm. An individual's pen-strokes, their construction and their speed, are impossible to replicate without detection.
What makes handwriting analysis work is that handwriting is essentially brain writing . The pen is merely a tool, directed through the movement of your arm by impulses that originate in the cerebral cortex. The message is sent via the nervous system to your arm , hand , and even toe muscles , which motivate the pen to produce the symbols we call writing.
The process is often likened to the action of a seismograph, which picks up signals of earth movement and records them on the graph. Earthquakes can be detected and evaluated in this way. Handwriting records your personality as it is projected through the writing implement.
This has a significant implication – since personalities are unique, so are handwritings. No two, like fingerprints, are exactly the same. However, your handwriting can change to reflect your current personality and outlook on life. Yet the singularity of penmanship is always retained. On the surface, handwriting styles may appear to be the same, especially among family members. Generally, in such cases, the superficial resemblance is due to a commonality of traits, which are often reinforced in a family or communal structure. Conscious or unconscious attempts to emulate style can always cause a similarity in scripts. The significant differences of personality, however, will always be revealed by a detailed handwriting analysis.

that's great, did you see the post which I had posted a year back. Your article has given me good inputs. though I have around 2000 samples analysed correlated to Big 5 Psychometry and the write up ready, I have failed to find any university accepting this as a research subject.
I felt it will be valuable to read full article of yours.
