Abstract: Emotion control is one of personality characteristics that can be detected through handwriting or graphology. One of the advantages is it may help the counselor that has difficulties in identifying the emotion of their counselee. This study is to explore the fuzzy technique for feature extraction in handwriting and then identify the emotion of person. This study uses baseline or slope of the handwriting in determining the level of emotion control whether it is very low, low, medium, high or very high, through Mamdani inference.

Writer identification based on graphology techniques

Abstract: In this work an innovative system biometric of writerspsila identification based in technical expert calligraphic and graphology on the handwritten script is presented. It has been developed working in off-line mode on a Spanish words image database, formed by 29 different individuals. All the extractions of characteristics carried out on the images and that they have been used for the identification, they were carried out by means of the estimate of several elements object using studies of The French Graphology School, and that they are commonly employed by the handwriting experts in judicial matters. The success percentage achieved with 5 of these characteristics from this database of 29 writers is of 99.34%. In new experimentations, with these same parameters and enlarging the database to 70 users, a rate of success of 92% was reached.

Graphology and Cattell's 16PF Traits Matrix (HoloCatT Matrix)

Abstract: Graphology has been considered to be useful in identifying a person's personality in some European countries. However, the International Graphonomic Society recommended that scientific evidence is also needed to associate the usage of graphology to identify these traits. The objective of this research is to identify the relationship between the meaning of selected graphology features and Cattell's 16PF. A set of questionnaires have been distributed to personologists in order for them to verify the relationship between the meaning of five main features in graphology namely proportion, caliber, baseline, slanting and space with the 16 personality factors in Cattellpsilas 16PF. From the findings, 80.9% of the relation was positively confirmed by the personologist, this shows that the selected graphology features and Cattellpsilas 16PF do have some relations. As a result, a matrix table of graphology and Cattelpsilas 16PF is obtained.

Graphologie et personnalité selon le modèle en cinq facteurs

Abstract: Considered as a personality assessment technique, graphology is defended by some but finds weak scientific base. Validation studies often suffer from methodological weaknesses. In this study, 145 participants wrote a text on a white sheet and answered the NEO PI-R, personality inventory. Having built a reliable grid of analysis of the handwriting, we correlate 13 graphological variables and 35 personality features taken from the five-factor model (FFM). After controlling sample effects, one correlation is compatible with graphology, one contradictory to it and most of them are unexpected. These results evoke type I errors and confirm the very low validity of graphology as a personality assessment technique. (C) 2008 Societe francaise de psychologie. Publie par Elsevier Masson SAS.
