Times News Service sky-hig- It may sound like a familiar parlor game, but some people take it much more seriously. Handwriting analysis, that tenuous art of minding everyone elses "ps and qs, has changed its name to graphoanalysis, and its etching a place for itself in the personnel department. Used throughout history to verify the authenticity of signatures and docu- ments, handwriting analysis, or graphology, some say, is a valid means to disclose the personality behind the scribbles as well. Sheila Kurtz, a graphoanalyst for the last 10 years, has built a successful company on that belief. New Slant Inc., at 110 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, has a growing number of clients large who use companies and small handwriting analyses of job candidates as part of the interviewing process. Brain Writing Our slogan is Handwriting is brain writing, " says Mrs. Kurtz, who has a background in psychology. We believe that the pen is mightier than the personnel interview. Mary Anne Sommers, now national sales manager for Art News and Antiques World magazines, hired the advertising sales staff of her former employer, Working Woman magazine, based on handwriting evaluations by Mrs. Kurtz. "We asked the applicants," Miss Sommers said, "if they would object to a handwriting analysis, and a few looked at me askance, but everyone did it. And I put together an absolutely dynamite sales staff; they were all women and they were terrific." Since then. Miss Sommers and most of her sales staff have moved on to bigger and better places," she said. But at Working the new management Woman no longer uses handwriting analysis in its interviewing process " "They thought it was Miss Sommers said.

T&T JEWELERS $4qoo Indeed, most companies that use handwriting analysis in hiring dont talk about it. "That's just the nature of the business, Mrs. Kurtz said. "It's confidential. The fact that different handwriting strokes can mean "failing" a job interview hasn't generated any legal challenges thus far. According to Jack Novik, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Uiuon in New York, no legal action has been brought against the practice. Nonetheless, there is a widespread sense of caution about the use of handwriting analysis for hiring purposes. Donald Lott, a spokesman for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington, noted that the practice "falls under the commissions policy with regard to testing. "if that testing has a disproportionate impact in terms of its effect on certain classes of individuals and if those persons raise allegations of racial, sexual or other discrimination, Lott said, "the testing facility stands to be exposed to the enforcement authority of the commission.

It combines the study of various factors to slant, pressure and strokes assess the character of the writer. Slant is measured by a gauge with various emotive connotations, ranging from extreme withdrawal (far to the left) to "extremely responsive" (far to the size of loops and right). end strokes are basic indicators, as are the size of letters and the heaviness of the pressure. The society is quick to point out that "there is no validity in the belief that a single graphic sign denotes the existence of a specific trait, according to Lucille Range, director of public affairs. .All elements are evaluated as a whole, and single traits may be offset or diminished by others.
