Learn what handwriting analysis can do for you from a European-trained graphologist.

Graphologists study handwriting the same way that psychologists study body language and facial expressions, since handwriting is a direct manifestation of neural activity. Graphology has existed for thousands of years and is used widely throughout Europe and Asia. In the future, handwriting will be one of the few human features that artificial intelligence will not be able to replicate, and thus deserves greater consideration for its variety of uses.

Did you know?

  • Businesses in Europe use handwriting analysis in their hiring practices; in fact, in France over 85% of large companies use graphology for personnel screening

  • There are no civil laws precluding the use of handwriting samples in hiring practices

  • Graphology is taught in leading universities throughout Europe and Israel

  • The U.S. Intelligence Community and federal law enforcement have used handwriting analysis for decades for a variety of purposes

  • Graphology does not see race, gender, or color, and adds a lens of objectivity to the writer who is not consciously influenced to answer in a certain manner as they might be in an online screening test (handwriting cannot be disguised or altered)

  • Graphology is used globally with a multitude of languages and alphabets

The Write Insights Difference

Graphology is not a pseudo science, rather it is social science with its foundation in psychology. In fact, it is classified in the Dewy Decimal system as a subset of psychology. In the United States, graphology has been viewed as somewhat of a “New Age” art which has led to its marginalization as a psychological tool. In Europe and parts of Asia, it is utilized regularly by large companies in their hiring process, as well as by individuals wishing to seek better understanding of themselves or others. It is taught in large psychology departments in many large universities in Europe.

Graphology is not predictive; it does not tell fortunes nor does it provide solutions. Rather, it can be used to complement body language, semantic analysis and facial expressions with an even deeper dive into someone’s subconscious, where our writing impulse is rooted. Amputees who have lost a limb eventually return to their original writing style; twins separated at birth develop almost identical handwriting; no two writings are alike and cannot be disguised. In the near future handwriting remains one of the few expressions that computers will not be able to reproduce and will remain a unique indicator of who we are.
