What can and can’t handwriting reveal?
A well-trained handwriting analyst uses handwriting to paint an accurate picture of the core personality of the writer — the way the writer organizes his life and time, his ego development, social skills, thinking style, fears and defenses, etc. Handwriting does not conclusively reveal the writer’s chronological age, gender, or writing hand. And, while there may be some cultural characteristics, it does not reveal the writer’s race or religion. This makes it among the most non-discriminatory of any personality assessment method. One last final word on what handwriting cannot do: It reveals a great deal about the writer’s past, but cannot predict the future.
