It's just scary to think your job might be on the line because someone threw chicken bones on the ground to tell your future, or that you are being investigated as a criminal because of how tea leaves landed in a cup. This is no different. This junk science is just immoral.

This is the same? Your hand writing comes from you. Write a letter when you are tired, when you are excited, angry, sad. Look and see if there is a difference. Why would it be absurd to look into what you hand does when doing something as mentally intricate as writing. How many part of the brain are working as you do this action? Don't be afraid of things you do not understand yet...

At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Yes I'm talking to you! Yes you!

The problem is degree of accuracy. I mean, you can hem and haw about how it *sort of* fits you in some ways, like the athlete saying he was "stuck" sort of, but that's because it's a scattershot assessment. It'll rarely pick up on the *most* important aspects of your personality and experience. The ones that really count.

"Missing parent" can mean dead, divorced, absent, or emotionally distant. "Coming challenge" can mean any forthcoming challenge you are uncertain about, which would have to be any upcoming challenge you give a second thought. Amazingly specific.

I think there's another issue - both the arguments for and against graphology appear to rely on 'personality' theories, and include self-reporting . . . (there are assholes in the world - but how many would admit to it?)

but what bothers me the most is that regardless if shermer's point of argument is valid or not...this says nothing about how "true" her statements are...or not.
