    The graphology is a quasi-science (pseudo- science). It is considered to be one of the unconventional methods for human resources selection in the organizations. The graphologists believe that on the base of the handwriting and on the written material a psychologic personal's profile can be made. With the graphological analyses numerous features of the handwriting can be interpreted such as: the initial and final of one word' emphasis, correctness and readability of the words, letter' s form, letter's size, hand pressure on the paper, distance between the lines, writings course and other. This method is not scientifically approved, although it is used in the organizations in a lot of West European countries and in USA as a tool for selection of human resources. In the most of the announces for vacancies the candidates are required to fulfill the application forms in hand.
