Handwriting Analysis in Pre-Employment Screening
In the case of graphology, we similarly must look beyond the alleged
benefits of graphological screening to any evils involved in employing
this particular technique as a means to improving hiring efficiency.
If the technique infringes upon exceptionally important rights or
values, then, as with the case of hanging an innocent man, the end
will not justify the means. Examination of the technique shows that it
does indeed violate important values. In particular, the test 1)
constitutes an unwarranted violation of privacy by holding job
applicants accountable for private intentions and traits when they
should be held responsible for public performance; and 2) fails to
respect the individuality of persons who are applying to work for a
firm. Since the assumed benefits are obtainable through other means;
and since the rights of privacy and human individuality are generally
conceded by Westerners to be core rights, we ought not to tolerate
graphology's violation of these rights.

Employee Testing: Send in the Clones
What should employers be looking for in prospective IT workers? The
answer's all around.

But before hiring a handwriting analyst, employers need to read the
small print. Like any preemployment test, handwriting analysis must
meet all Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines. If the
analysis goes outside of the guidelines — say, if the tester asks
personal or intrusive questions — the test is null and void as far as
the EEOC is concerned.

Graphology Fact Sheet
I also called the personnel offices of the cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth and the counselling and testing office at the University of
Texas at Arlington. The uniform response was "we don't use it and we
don't know anyone who does." In 1998 I again attempted to find large
companies using graphology in personnel management, and again, without
success. Apparently, press claims about the wide use of graphology in
business are exaggerated, at least in this area.
