LIMITATIONS
The written specimen
portrays personality descriptions and behavior predictions. The
specimen cannot explain the "why" or give the past
root-cause for a particular action or condition. Destroying a
written specimen where the writer has expressed emotionally charged
issues and concerns has therapeutic value. The text content is
irrelevant to the character analysis and is not utilized by the
handwriting analyst. Controlled writing is a repetitive act that
can be used to modify personality by suggesting behavioral traits,
but must be performed with great care. Since agraphia, degraded
or "bad" penmanship, is a result of physiological and
psychological causes, negative comments on the quality of penmanship
are unnecessary and subjective.
Your writing
is independent of your background and physical appearance. Handwriting
does not give causality information on gender, religion, race,
color, creed, age, handicap (e.g., sensory, manual, or speaking
disability), political leaning, cultural influences, physical
strength, natural origin, physical beauty, social economic background,
educational qualifications, group status, and financial status.
Statistical correlations have yielded various degrees of success
and/or failure. Federal District Court-United States v. Hazelwood
School District (1976) indicated handwriting analysis meets Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, EEOC, (Title VII of the 1964
Civil Rights Act) requirements as non-discriminatory. The EEOC
legal counsel in 2001 indicated that there has been no cases
based on handwriting that discriminate against an individual's
race, sex, color, national origin, age and disability.
Your writing
is, however, dependent upon the affects of drugs, disease, situation
anxiety, menstruation, electric shock treatment, traumatic experiences,
maturity, hypnosis, and fatigue. These conditions modify personality. Practicing
a particular written pattern for twenty minutes each day for
thirty days to alter behavior should be carefully monitored.
As a note, a teenager's writing tends to be inconsistent from
moment to moment.
