Australian Institute of Graphology

Welcome to the fascinating world of
graphology. We're glad you've decided
to take the time to learn more about it.



The term 'graphology' conjures
up many ideas and impressions.



There are skeptics who think graphology
is a party trick, or an invasive method
of character assassination.



There are those who are already familiar
with its benefits and technique, and know
that this is not the case.



We understand how the skeptic
opinion developed.



There have been unprofessional and
unscientific applications of graphology
in the past.



That is the reason the Australian Institute
of Graphology was founded: to clean up
the industry and to showcase
professional graphology.



So what is graphology then?

Graphology is about people and
relationships.

It is about developing understanding in
every social and business interaction.



Why study handwriting?

Well, handwriting is the product of
autonomous and voluntary drives.



It displays the neurological, physiological
and psychological health of an individual,
as well as their cultural and schooled
influences.



As you can imagine, there is a lot that a
professional graphologist can assess.
Graphology truly is an interdisciplinary
practice.



People who seek out graphology are
students studying the social as well as
the criminal sciences.



Employers are also interested in knowing
how graphology can unlock the potential
of their staff, as well as produce a
harmonious working environment.



Others are people like you, who have an
interest in their own or their child's
development and vocational future.



Who on this planet is not interested in
learning about their loved ones or other
people's inner meaning and character?



Firstly though, let's start with the myths
surrounding graphology.



Graphology is not a predictor of
behaviour or character. It is not a fortune-
telling device.



What graphology does do - and very well
- is to assess personality, character and
health as it exists now.



A professional graphologist does not base
their character analysis on a single
generic sign either.



A professional graphologist studies the
individual and idiosyncratic clusters of
handwritten signs that are unique to a
particular writer.



It is true that some handwritten signs can
be disguised or consciously altered, while
others are hardwired or ingrained.



A professional graphologist understands
that each writer has a master pattern, as
well as natural variation in their
handwriting.



As graphology is the study of human
nature, its roots are firmly placed in
psychology.



Its system has evolved courtesy of
scientifically-based research performed
over the past one hundred years.



The pioneers and developers of
graphology were professionals in their
own right - practising psychologists,
counsellors, neuro-physiologists, doctors,
teachers, pedagogues, and more.



Because of this ongoing development,
graphology can be studied at tertiary level
in Spain, Italy, Germany, France, the UK
and Argentina.



What about the demise of handwriting?
Isn't the age of technology rendering
handwriting obsolete?



We are indeed writing less, but it doesn't
mean that handwriting is useless or a
skill that should be thrown away.
Why?



Learning to write is not only an
instrument of communication, it is also an
instrument of neurological development
and 'preparedness' for learning.



The use of virtual keypads and keyboards,
as well as most technology, has turned us
into passive, rather than active
participants in information processing.



Writing is important for the development
of our attentional and concentration skills,
for hand-eye coordination, memory and
inner visualisation, critical thinking and
more.



It all boils down to the basics and
essentials. These two principles will never
go out of fashion, but are often the first
to be swept aside in favour of 'progress'.



Do we really want to see handwriting
disappear?
At what expense?



The Australian Institute of Graphology
stands behind teaching kids and adults to
write. Giving anyone a head start in life is
one of our many goals.



So how can graphology serve you?
The following is a very brief overview.



In business, the goal of graphology is to
combine the right personalities, to bring
out the best in each team member, to
foster harmony and enhance
productivity.



While graphology does not eliminate
conflict completely, it does promote
constructive as opposed to destructive
conflict resolutions.



Graphology can and has been used as a
valuable tool in medical diagnosis,
especially in cancer and heart disease.



More awareness, support and research
into medical graphology as a low-cost
diagnostic, in alliance with medical
professionals, could see handwriting
analysis being used in Alzheimer's or
Parkinson's detection.



The deterioration of mental health,
leading to either depression or suicide, is
possible to see in a longitudinal
handwriting analysis.



Beyond Blue (in Australia) is one
organisation that could successfully
employ handwriting analysis in the early
detection and monitoring of depression.



Graphology is also promising as an
indicator of teenage eating disorders, such
as anorexia nervosa and bulimia.



Handwriting analysis is particularly useful
in the detection of visual or learning
difficulties in children.



It can be used in the avoidance of
misdiagnosis, for example, of ADHD,
when in fact a child has impaired vision
or even visual dyslexia.



The difference between attentional and
visual disorders can be differentiated by a
trained graphologist in alliance with a
medical professional.



Parents can also learn to 'speak the
language' of their kids, by assessing their
writing, and cracking the 'code' behind
their moods and behaviours.



The same idea can be applied in the
teaching and training arena. Handwriting
analysis can become a quick and easy tool
for better communication between
students and teachers.



Criminal profiling employs the
psychological aspect of graphology;
whereas forensic handwriting examination
is the technical examination of handwriting
for the purpose of identification and
authentication.



Criminal profiling can be used in screening
and monitoring the development of
violent and abusive behaviour, sexual
deviant behaviour, drug and alcohol
abuse and white collar crimes.



It is particularly appropriate for assessing
an individual who will work with children,
the elderly, in public safety, security,
intelligence and sensitive information.



It is possible to detect signs that point
towards a tendency to be dishonest.
It is not possible to categorically label
someone as a liar or untrustworthy.



A trained graphologist will not label
someone without concrete evidence.
They can, however, raise questions.
Signs of dishonesty depend on many
variables, contexts, and degrees.



Screening parole applicants' handwriting
prior to being released would enable
psychologists to see if an offender will
repeat their behaviour.
This is particularly useful in cases dealing
with rape, pedophilia and violent crimes.



That being said, graphology is ideal as a
tool for matching and verifying the outer
persona of an individual with their inner
character - no matter the context.



This insight can lead to individual self-
awareness and be used as a constructive
and practical guide in self-growth and
personal development.



In relationships, handwriting analysis can
help an individual understand why they
relate better to certain personalities
than others.



It can assist in establishing compatibility of
relationships whether short- or long-term,
business or private.



It helps individuals to see their
counterparts realistically and to avoid
wrong expectations and unnecessary
disappointments.



In private relationships, this translates into
couples stepping into the shoes of their
partners and to stop seeing a different
style of communication or way of
thinking as an attack or criticism.



For those who would like to change some
aspect of themselves, graphotherapy is a
tool for psychological development
through the conscious modification of
individual handwriting.



Highlighting the psychological traits in
handwriting that block, limit, hinder or
make an individual underperform, can
help free the personality to better
express, utilise and manage themselves.



From a historical point of view,
graphology is a link to our past or
to our genealogical tree.
We can learn a lot about the inherited
traits from our ancestors.



And from a cultural point of view,
graphologists are trained in understanding
how different writing systems and
copybook scripts influence handwriting
and personal development.



Recognition is there of how individualistic,
collectivistic and a hybrid of both cultures,
shape the psyche and underlying
psychology of an individual.



All in all, graphology is about finding real
everyday practical solutions. It's about
understanding people, and not judging
them.



Australia has the opportunity to take
graphology to the next level of
professionalism, research
and development.



For that, we need your support.



We believe the best way to test the
validity of something is to test it yourself.
Sound judgement can only be made
using intimate, practical knowledge.



Take advantage of our training course,
customised workshops, study group
meetings and professional graphological
and forensic handwriting examination
consultative services.



Thank you for your time and interest in
graphology. Feel free to contact us and
ask any questions.
