Written specifically for personnel managers, this volume is designed to aid those involved in the selection of new employees. It explains how handwriting analysis can help them to learn more about the people they intend to hire and promote.

The second section presents case studies of sales people, managers, presidents, and other jobs and demonstrates how handwriting analysis can be an effective tool in evaluating candidates for various types of positions. In the third section, Sackheim provides a survey of graphology literature. Her review encompasses virtually every study written in English since 1919 as well as over 50 articles in psychological journals. The final chapter addresses the legal issues involved and discusses discrimination laws and the right to privacy, US Supreme Court decisions, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requirements.
