I was introduced to graphology by my Dad.  Later, at age 14, I went to a social event sponsored by area 4-H clubs, an overnighter at the YMCA, where I met a girl I wanted to be friends with.  We played a game during that night of finding people whose background fits any one of a grid of boxes.  Julie signed the "born in a different country."  I kept that signature game piece, and when I got home, put it in a safe place.  The next morning, I got out a book of my Mom's on graphology, and started analyzing Julie's signature.  I learned some things about her to lead me to talking with her at the 4-H camp in the following Summer, where I eventually got her address.  I had been pen-pals with her for several years; however, around age 18 or so she got married, and broke off contact with me.

Graphology is said to have roots during Roman empire times, when a scribe makes an observation on the Emperor's handwriting as being "economical" in regard to right margins.  In the past century, significant advances in scope and reliability have elevated the science into being more than just an icebreaker at a party.  It is simply a tool, and with all tools, can potential to misuse.

This web site is offered on the principle and faith that patrons will get useful information and, most importantly, perk interest to hopefully lead to read works by other authors.  I may have some good points, but other views is essential for a more true understanding.

In my experience, I feel I gained by reading parts of about 14 books on the topic.  It is true to say that there was some conflict in my own mind; but it was valuable for my development to give these books my attention and think things out for myself.
