Definitely annoying/pretentious. I can somewhat understand depending on the job type but there are other, better ways to check a candidate’s writing ability if that’s what they’re aiming for.

I guess at least it says it’s only for top priority and that it should be 150 words or less (5 words is less, right?.. who knows maybe they’re looking for brevity lol)

Fucking young people today, they just don’t want to work, that’s why we can’t find any employees /s

Business Use of Handwriting Analysis

“Handwriting analysis is quietly spreading through corporate America. With the government pulling the plug on polygraphs, employers clamming up on job references, and liabilities rising for the “negligent hiring” of workers, it is one alternative managers are exploring in an effort to know who they are hiring, before they hire.” ---- Wall Street Journal

“It is not unusual for European companies to have full-time handwriting analysts on staff to help personnel officers read between the lines. Now in the U.S., thousands of employees and prospective employees are screened via handwriting analysis every day.” ---- Forbes

A recent Princeton University study determined that 4 out of 5 people are wrong for the job in which they were hired, and in the sales field 85% of employees are terminated within 3 months. More and more employers are looking for new ideas and tools for screening potential employees. Handwriting analysis is one of those tools.

An in-depth analysis gives you focused information designed to shed new light on a person’s values, beliefs, personality traits, talents and abilities. These traits are then mapped to common success factors for specific job responsibilities. Managers also analyze the traits of existing employees to review compatibilities and ensure well-rounded teams are brought together to produce quality results.

“Neurological impulses in the brain centers which produce a change in handwriting have been the chief interest of the neurologist… We understand how the primary controlling centers of the brain influence handwriting… Areas concerned with thoughts, intellect, and emotions control the formation of the individual as a whole which is best described as ‘personality’.” ---- University College of Physicians and Surgeons

Handwriting analysis is a valuable aid in any area where a keen knowledge of human behavior is important.

Handwriting has also been called "mind writing" or "brain writing". All that is part of the mind is reflected by an individual in many ways, handwriting being but one.
The science of handwriting analysis has for many, many years been a tool to increase awareness of an individual's character or personality. Aristotle utilized the art of analyzing handwriting.
Your handwriting is written by your subconscious mind. An angry person cannot write like a calm person, the brain just won't let it happen. When you make conscious changes in your writing, it physically shifts the subcortical patterns of your brain.
All handwriting expresses the writer and his past. The experiences which are a part of the past make an impact on the writer. Interpreting how these past experiences affect the way one writes, gives handwriting analysts insights into how a writer behaves. An assessment of your handwriting will give you insights into your personality.
