I borrowed a "handwriting analysis for dummies" book from a friend, on a whim after skimming through it. It was just after reading a couple of Feynmann books, which is why I can so eloquently classify handwriting analysis as a "cargo cult science."
It's a lot about "energy" and "flow" and other subjective nonsense. It's along the lines of reading body language... which I would call more of a skill, or talent, rather than a science.
- slater 18y agoI too could've sworn that handwriting analysis was some wishy-washy pseudo-science. I remember watching a TV program on the subject here in Switzerland; they had the head of the Swiss psychology assocation on, with him basically stating that it's a feel-good construct for PHBs wanting to sound important (this was in the context of whether you should apply for a job with a hand-written letter, or a typed letter; it was the early 90s...) :)
