Is Handwriting Analysis a Dying Skills?

13 April 2014 - Singapore: Today, I went to the local community library and saw a handwriting analysis book by Marc Seifer, PhD. I flip a few pages and straight away I took it to the 'load machine' to record it under my name.

Recalling back, each time I share my knowledge about 'handwriting analysis' or 'graphology' - the first usual respond I got is .... "Mr. Liew ... now days people type more, do you think handwriting analysis is still relevant?"

I was introduced to handwriting analysis back in the mid 1990s - a headhunter from TOA shared her knowledge with and gave me a quick interpretation of my handwriting ... it was accurate about my personality. Later, another headhunter from HRnet One, shared with me that he use handwriting analysis to analyse the personality profile of his candidates. This really got me hooked to handwriting analysis but during the 90s, there wasn't any reading material on handwriting analysis. 

My break came when my French boss asked me to select a training that will help me in my daily HR tasks ... the rest was history ... the 2 days course on handwriting analysis cost my company RM1750 and this is in the mid 1990s. It was very expensive to invest on a young HR Officer like me. During the course ... my course-mates were from the Singapore & Malaysia police force, and the petroleum companies e.g., Petronas, LNG, SHELL, etc.

To keep it short - I just wanted to share some of the reading material available and hope the HR professional from the "Gen Y" age group  will consider picking up the skills.
