What your handwriting says about your career

Face-to-face interviews and checks of the references of potential employees used to be enough for many employers. But as corporate governance scandals have proliferated, many companies have been searching for new ways to weed out potentially trouble some hires and to monitor the behavior of existing employees. One of the latest tactics is handwriting analysis.

Graphology, as handwriting analysis is formally known, gained prominence in the 19th century as a determinant of personality traits and inner character. Its use declined as the aptitude- and personality- testing movement gained ground in the early 20th century. But today, handwriting analysis is widely used in France, Germany and England; many companies have resident graphologists. And while there is no hard data on how many companies are using handwriting analysis in the United States, many graphologists say they are getting more corporate business.
