WHAT IS GRAPHOLOGY ? Graphology is the analysis of the psychological structure of the human subject through his or her handwriting. The central nervous system provides a direct and undistorted link to the deeper self. Every human mind comprises a unique and immensely complex blend of character and accumulated experiences of life. Handwriting reflects this by evolving constantly. No two samples are the same. Our graphologists study psychology and psychoanalysis. This, combined with the acquired skills of detailed analysis of the formation of writing, enables the detection and assessment of key personality elements such as ambition, energy, sociability, adaptability, sensitivity, etc. What can the BAOG graphologists do for you? • Assist businesses in assessment and optimised deployment of personnel • Assist teachers in assessment of pupils • Maximise the possibilities of vocational guidance • Enhance professional knowledge • Broaden horizons Here is an example of how we can help you: You might be considering employing this person: Would he be a good team member, would he withstand criticism, would he have initiative?
