Knowing the "inner you"

Knowing the "inner you"

Neat, legible writing is a prised skill? Writing analysis is now getting increasingly popular way to not only to screen job applicants but to analyse the psyche of people.

"When used correctly, graphology can give a good indication of a person's personality structure, their abilities, ability to grow and develop, and perhaps most importantly, their integrity," say graphologists.

Recruitment-graphology has come out as an application-oriented field as the requirement in recruitment strongly looks for the personal disposition of the candidate in the job area. The employers are reluctant to admit the use of the technique totally due to its inherent difficulty to link the writing and the person's mind on a formal footing. Some totally abhor the philosophy behind it. Some could use this as an extra dimension. Some argue saying psychometric tests could be manipulated by the people, but handwriting results would bring it to open the reality of a candidate. While handwriting is impossible to fake, CVs are often embroidered and the personal strength in reality is not exhibited. Though the popularity for the graphology is on the increase, the scientific evidence that the mind gets through the hand to portray the personality is missing. So long as this missing link sustains the psychologist and graphologists will continue to have strong advocacy.

Let the child enjoy the CHILDHOOD

In a recently published article on Childhood facing crisis, the author of the column tried to analyse the problems that led to childhood quality getting worsened in the last few decades. The author says the innocence of childhood is poisoned by junk food, competitive schooling & excessive dependence on electronic equipment; add to it too easy lifestyle. A major percentage of children does not have the opportunity even to walk to school or for any other chores. In the name of ease and comfort, the child is denied the opportunity to use his potential — physical and mental. While pre-war years of the 20th century witnessed poorly nourished children due to low family incomes, the current situation supersedes by another type of malnutrition — eating of unhealthy food. The author at the end suggests three ways to turn the table to olden days- "Consider whether it is really necessary to live life at top speed? Taking less puritanical view of idleness & extend the school-j
