Preferred term

handwriting analysis  

Definition

  • Handwriting analysis, or graphology, as it is otherwise called, is the study of an individual's handwriting sample done in order to make judgments about the individual's personality traits or his or her tendency to behave in certain ways. The major use of contemporary handwriting analysis is as a staffing tool by business organizations. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; Handwriting Analysis in Hiring]
