Why do you say that? You don't think they are the tools to understand personality? Or they are not the best ones?

>> It is a proven fact that handwriting and signatures are the best tools to understand a personality. > You don't think they are the tools to understand personality? In a word "no". The site in question provides a new signature for a fee. Do you believe that people can change their personality by paying a fee to a web site and writing their name differently? I'm pretty sure that almost anyone can produce 20-50 different signatures. If someone does so, have they developed new personalities? (Claiming that they had those personalities before doesn't help your position.) Signature/handwriting analysis is as useful as analyzing the bumps on one's head. It help with identification, but tells you nothing about the person.

  Handwriting analysis tells everything about that person. Probably that is why each person has unique handwriting and it also changes depending on the age and circumstances person is living in. If you change your Signature as per the Graphological inputs from an expert it surely brings positive changes to your personality. It is psychological.

    "If you change your Signature as per the Graphological inputs from an expert it surely brings positive changes to your personality." citation needed. I'd like to see any scientific backing for this claim. Sounds like mystical mumbo jumbo to me (and deosn't belong on HN in my opinion)

Let me ask you a question in return: I'd like you to understand somebody's personality. You have a choice between a) looking at their signature, or b) spending a few hours with them in face-to-face conversation. Which would you choose?
- abhishekdesai 17y ago
  I may choose spending few hours with them because I can not do the handwriting analysis myself. But you know what I will not be able to understand that person completely in those few hours. Analyzing handwriting gives much more clear idea about the personality of the person as he can not hide his inner traits in his handwriting.

    Even if he learns a new signature from your site? Sorry, but handwriting may be one factor in the expression of a persons identity, but it is by no means the most important one, and to pretend so puts you so far outside of the mainstream as to render the project outside of my interests.
