Post 2: Graphology

After learning about Graphology, which can be described as being able to use handwriting to describe

a person’s general personality, I am able to say that I do not believe in this claim whatsoever.

However, the general idea behind this form of pseudoscience is still being utilized for important

things such as selecting employees, which is astonishing to me. There are several different

characteristics of writing that claim to mean different things, such as letter size and word/letter

spacing. For example, if you write with small letters it is supposed to mean that you are shy and

concentrated, whereas writing with large letters means you are more outgoing and attention-seeking.

After testing this claim myself by watching comparisons made in a video about graphology, I found

right away that barely any of the extremely vague descriptions actually applied to me. According to

my handwriting, I am shy, aggressive, optimistic, and imaginative, but in my opinion out of those

listed traits I am only somewhat shy. After doing some extra research into graphology, I found an

image that claims you can tell specific things about someone by simply looking at the letter “y”.

Overall, it seems that studying a person’s handwriting to judge them does not seem to be believable,

but unfortunately, it is still used at a growing rate.
