What is Graphology?
Graphology is the analysis of the physical characteristics and patterns
of handwriting purporting to be able to identify the writer,
indicating psychological state at the time of writing, or evaluating
personality characteristics.
It is generally considered a
pseudoscience.
Graphology has been used clinically by European counselors and
psychotherapists.
When it is used, it is generally used alongside
other projective personality assessment tools, and not in isolation.
It is often used within individual psychotherapy, marital
counseling, or vocational counseling.
.
HOW DOES GRAPHOLOGY WORK?
Graphology is a blend of art and science. It is ascience because it
measures the structure and movement of the written forms -
slants,
angles and spacing are accurately calculated and the pressure is
observed in magnification and with precision.
And it is an art
because the graphologist has constantly to keep in mind the total
context in which the writing is taking place:
the 'gestalt' of the
writing as a whole.
Writing consists of three things - movement, spacing andform.
A
graphologist studies these variations as they occur in each of these
aspects of writing,
and attaches psychological interpretations
to them. Expert graphologists can achieve a very high degree of
accuracy.
THE USES OF GRAPHOLOGY
:
Graphology not only examines behaviour, but
the subconscious or the whys that lie behind actions, providing
information that could not be established in any other way or in
such a quick time.
Recruitment : where it is an invaluable aid because an
experienced graphologist can pick out the best candidates, and
advise over suitability.
Management selection : In commerce and industry where it
is employed in conjunction with psychometric testing.
Corporate training : where it can highlight staff
strengths and flag up weaknesses, potential and motivation.
Security checking : and the evaluation of honesty and
integrity.
Career guidance : for those seeking employment or a
change of direction.
Compatibility assessments : for business and personal
relationships.
Personality profiling : for individuals seeking
self-awareness for self-development.
Child and family guidance : to help resolve sensitive
issues.
What is Counselling
?
• Counselling includes one on one discussion regarding
all tests and its interpretations. It also includes suggestions
regarding different suitable options for best careers depending on the
abilities. Counsellor will help to take a decision of appropriate
career.
