TL;DR: When 63 judges ranked sets of handwriting samples according to the judged relative positions of the writers on Introversion-Extraversion or Stability-Neuroticism dimensions, relatively high inter-judge agreements were found for either task.
Abstract: The role of stereotypes in the judgement of personality features from handwriting style has hitherto been neglected in experimental investigations of graphology. When 63 judges ranked sets of handwriting samples according to the judged relative positions of the writers on Introversion-Extraversion or Stability-Neuroticism dimensions, relatively high inter-judge agreements were found for either task. Comparisons of judges' rankings with criterion rank-orders based on the writers' EPI E or N scores showed that judgement accuracy was low for almost all judges. Inter-judge agreement thus appears to depend on the sharing of graphological stereotypes which may be of low validity.

If, however, you declare a serious interest in the subject, you notice a certain recoil from someone who is evidently a nut case ana accordingly best avoided.
