So, you think you're important then :p

Isnt it scientifically correct (forget the word for hand writing analysis) to assume that people who underline their name in their signature are trying to make themselves that much more important, unconsciously.
In the same way that people whose writing slants to the right are more outgoing, slants to the left more reserved. Any resident experts?

Bad handwriting, theres just no excuse.
I've not written anything of note by hand for over 20 years, consequently my handwriting is utterly atrocious. Does this make me a bad person? I'm quite bright, and I don't mess in the house. Please, please let me off Mr. Plotloss sir, a bigger boy made me do it.

Graphology is complete and utter rubbish im guessing.
Many of them have at least at some point consulted feng-shui "experts" when designing new buildings.
That it's been endorsed by several large companies doesnt make it any less rubbish...

was forced to write with fountain pen as a kid as well; went through loads of them as my handwriting is not suited to writing with one, and just another useless skill that adds nothing to correct development
On leaving school spent lots of time practising to write properly with biro and pencils, to the point when in my old job when people in the office needed things hand written i would get sweet talked into writing it as my handwriting is now much neater than most peoples illegible scrawl.
edit to add
oh yes and i underline my signature, plus full stop at the end with large initial letters for first and last name.
ego, moi?

You expect me to take that comment seriously right?
Well, I won the hand writing competitions we were forced to enter at school (also with fountain pens) so yes

Funnily enough, I was forced to write with a fountain pen at school as well. When I left, I tried the alternatives - biros, rollerballs, fibretips ... and decided that there really is nothing to beat a fountain pen. Get a good one, and you will loathe using anything else.
(My handwriting is still awful, mind. Just that it is slightly less awful when writing with my own fountain pen.)

That's quite a stunt from the frog graphologists, whittle the short-list for top posts (self-selecting anyway) down to the last two or three by methods that actually work, then make the final decision by tossing a coin - which is what graphology represents. Even if graphology was used throughout, if enough companies use it at every stage there are bound to be some excellent appointments due to randomly selecting the best candidate and these can be held up as 'proof' that graphology works. Like surgeons, graphologists bury their mistakes.
