FOREWORD
When I was asked to examine the manuscript for this book I approached the task with keen interest, for the reason that in bringing this subject to the fore the author performs a good service. While handwriting analysis is used as a supplemental diagnostic tool in the field of psychological testing, the purpose of this book is to acquaint the non-professional person with the functioning of graphology and the way it can help him to understand his own basic personality, as well as to give an insight into those in whom he is interested. The book also tells the reader the analytical methods by which a professional graphologist is able to discover fundamental potential abilities in a handwriting which could serve as a guide for the better application of them.
Graphology is neither guesswork nor prediction. It is a serious study of the way in which the writer expresses his individuality by the hundreds of indications shown in the handwriting, such as the size of the small and capital letters, the pressure, spacing, margins, and dozens of other signs which must first be considered separately and then put together to produce the sum total of the personality picture. While intuition on the part of the analyst plays some part in this work (just as it is well for anyone who works with people to have intuition) the conclusive analysis of a handwriting depends on practical application of the theories of graphology to the work. Too often the layman will look at a specimen of handwriting and say "My intuition tells me this writer is a salesman . . ." whereas the professional graphologist knows this is a probable guess but not always a sure one
