“Handwriting & Individuality”: A Psychological, Biomechanical and Growth & Developmental Perspective of Handwriting

Whenever we think of handwriting assessment all that comes to mind is the non-empirical method of Handwriting Analysis or Graphology. We have never seriously considered handwriting as an independent entity. In this article I have tried presenting few aspects with which we can try and understand handwriting i.e. psychological, biomechanical and growth & developmental. From decades researchers have tried establishing empirical grounds for Graphology. But its time we accept that graphology has no scientific basis and is a pseudoscience which claims to assess things that even the scientific world is hesitant to affirm.
