Handwriting Analysis: Science or Subjectivity?
Handwriting analysis has been regarded with skepticism regarding its scientific validity. Two types of handwriting analysis exist: forensic analysis, often used in legal settings, and graphology, which attempts to deduce personality traits from handwriting. Notably, Supreme Court cases have raised concerns about the reliability of forensic handwriting analysis, noting that experts can be as inaccurate as average individuals. Research has shown that claims about handwriting's uniqueness lack evidence, indicating that handwriting offers little insight into a person's character beyond the words they write.
