  • Handwriting Analysis

    I used to have some fun when interviewing candidates for various posts in IT at a previous company that I worked for. The standard process would be for them to complete and sign some forms before the interview commenced, so I would normally ask to see the forms before even meeting the candidate. 

    By looking at their signature, I would tell the other members of the interview panel what I thought the individual would be like, and often I would even guess the duration of the interview. I was right every single time. It was hilarious. Eventually, I had managers walking up to my desk before they went into an interview that I wasn’t involved in to find out if I thought it would be worth their while to interview the candidate before they even met him. 

    Poor candidates. Finding a job is tough these days. 🙂

  • Question – Handwriting Analysis

    old-man-amjad:

    I wonder what my handwriting says about me.

    Something along the lines of introverted sociopath.

    Here’s my amateur take on what your writing says about you. Don’t take offence if I get it horribly wrong…I’m a bit rusty at this…

    1. You don’t care much for rules but you’ll apply them where you see practical value in them
    2. You don’t care much for making mistakes and having it out there for others to see, because their opinions rarely matter any way. Besides, you’re not striving for perfection any time soon either
    3. You’re not particularly introverted, although you may be seen to be that way at times, but you’re generally level headed and practical and find a reasonable balance between being extroverted and introverted
    4. You don’t care much for details if it doesn’t add to the final outcome in a substantial way. So you’re more likely to cut corners than you are to abide by the rules for the sake of abiding by the rules
    5. More than all this, you’re at odds with yourself in many ways. You second-guess a lot of what you do, including decisions you make. That doesn’t necessarily imply that you’re doubting yourself, but you do reflect a lot on what you think or say or do. There’s a lot more going on in your head than your rants on Tumblr suggest.
    6. You have a creative streak that you’re suppressing. 

    That’s it from me. How wrong am I? (Respond quickly because this will probably be deleted soon) 🙂

  • Finally a description of me that I can relate to…
