Graphology and Professional Success
Graphology analyzes writing to discover and know personality traits and emotional state of a person.
The analysis is carried out through the study of various "aspects" (variables) such as: the shape, size, inclination or pressure of the letters, among others, up to a total of eight, which, in turn, are divided into subaspects. Graphologists, through this analysis, can identify psychological characteristics, and investigate attitudes, skills, and potential areas for improvement in a person's behavior.
Although some voices express controversies about its use, the truth is that many companies use this tool as a complement, along with other tests in personnel selection processes, although they also do it in a unique way.
Similarly, in the personal sphere it is also used as a means of self-knowledge for personal transformation.
Purpose of Graphology
The main objective of the Graphological analysis It is to offer a vision, as deep as possible, on the aspects of personality: temperament and character and, as a consequence, on emotions, aptitudes, etc., in relation to the behaviors of an individual.
Hence, it is used in various fields, such as the aforementioned personnel selection, but also in coaching, emotional therapy, or in all those processes and methodologies in which the information obtained serves to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the characteristics of the individual.

Graphology as an Instrument for Improvement
In the business environment, graphology can have a significant impact. Among others, some of the ways in which it can be useful in this field:
- Personnel and Equipment Selection
One of the most common uses of graphology in the company is in personnel selection. The analysis of writing allows us to identify the trends and potentialities of whether a candidate has the right skills for a position, beyond what we can observe in an interview, or in their CV. This helps to increase the chances of discovering the most suitable person, thus improving the effectiveness of hiring. - Leadership Assessment and Development Potential
It can also be used to evaluate leaders or executives within the company, helping to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, allowing development programs to be oriented that are aligned with their personal and professional growth, thereby increasing their effectiveness and job satisfaction. - Mejora de la Comunicación Interna y Relaciones Laborales
By getting to know the personality of employees better, through their writing, human resources managers, or leaders, can improve internal communication, as well as promote and facilitate a more harmonious work environment. By better understanding the needs and motivations of the team, it is possible to adapt the way conflicts, tasks and productivity are managed, creating the right fit for a stronger company culture. - Conflict Prevention and Resolution
Through graphology, the latencies of behaviors such as aggressiveness, anxiety or insecurity can be identified. With this information, preventive or corrective measures can be taken to help resolve conflicts before they escalate, improving the work environment very favorably.
Graphology in the personal sphere
People face constant challenges in our daily lives and to a greater extent in current times.
For this reason, graphology can be a key tool to help us on our way to our goals and personal satisfaction. Thus, it can be useful:
- Self-knowledge and Personal Development
A través del análisis de nuestra propia escritura podemos conocer nuestros aspectos de mejora y fortalezas, ya que el autoconocimiento es clave para contribuir a tomar decisiones más conscientes en nuestra cotidianidad, desarrollando así un enfoque de autoliderazgo real y efectivo. - Improved Decision Making
It can also help us detect unconscious patterns that decisively affect our decision-making. We can find out what orientation we have if we act under pressure, if we have a tendency to procrastinate, or on what basis we make our decisions. By having this information, we can adjust our focus and improve our problem-solving capabilities. - Unlocking Limiting Beliefs
People may have limiting beliefs, which may be sabotaging our personal advancement. If through the analysis of writing we bring these beliefs to light, allowing us to work on them consciously, to eliminate them, we will facilitate our evolution and personal development. - Identifying Hidden Potential
Sometimes, people have talents or skills that they are unaware of or have not fully explored, so having a tool that makes it possible for us to identify those hidden potentials and thus use them in our personal development, implies that we have information that, well applied, can translate into greater success and personal satisfaction.
