Personality and Hand Writing Analysis

Personality and Hand Writing Analysis

What is Graphology? Graphology is the "scientific" study of a person's personality, all by looking at their handwriting. Supposedly, graphologists are able to determine one's psychological, social, occupational, and medical condition all by just looking at their handwriting. For example, graphologists say if one has large letters, they love to be center of attention- opposed to small lettered people, who are very introverted and shy. Now, although people call Graphology a science, there is no actual evidence that it really works. In fact, it has failed many tests in trying to prove it. Even when Graphologists do study one's handwriting, much information is already known about the person they are studying. Handwriting is a ridiculous way to detect personality because it is evident that personality can easily change without handwriting changing with it. If our writing implies our personality, that would mean our handwriting would also change drastically every time our personality changes, but it doesn't. For Graphology to be considered a science, graphologists would have to prove that everyone who has one trait in their writing is all the same in personality. Which, is utterly impossible for them to do, because there will always be an out-liar, thus rendering their theory false and proving Graphology unscientific.
