How Written Body Language Works

Handwriting analysis works the same way as any other body language. We at Written Inc refer to an individual’s handwriting as their Written Body Language preserved in ink. Everyone learns to read body language at a very early age, so as we get older and wiser we are able to determine if we are in a dangerous situation by observing posture, voice tone and volume, eyes and facial expressions.

Body language takes on many expressions and for the most part we are all trained to read and react to them. Handwriting is just another form of body language and since we are not trained to read it, it normally goes undetected.

Written Inc knows how to read and interpret handwriting and we can tell if a person is going to be aggressive, angry, indifferent or enthusiastic. But we can even go beyond the observable body language, beyond the facial expressions and the power stance. We can find things that cannot be found any other way; for example, moody, disorganized, deceit, aggressiveness and many more. In an interview a candidate will always present their best side making it almost impossible to discover their darker side.

Some human resource literature suggests that hiring decisions based solely on an interview or several interviews only slightly increases the odds of getting a good employee. Until now the tools to help make a confident hiring decision have not been available.

Armed with a Candidate Insight Report, an interviewer can be confident that they are addressing the candidate’s most important character traits both good and bad. Many of our clients use the Candidate Insight Report as a screening tool or part of their interview planning process.

Our Candidate Insight Report is the result of many years of development and research. Although our techniques are proprietary; I can say that through a combination of several trained analysts and a state of the art computer network we are capable of producing hundreds of very accurate Candidate Insight Reports every day.

We did not invent handwriting analysis, but what we did was make the interpretation of the writer’s written body language into a language we can all understand.
