This includes handwriting analysis. Yes, as with any field of study, anyone who reads a couple of books and declares themselves an expert does the field a disservice and can cause harm to others.

An important note already mentioned is that we need to ensure the Graphologist has his experience and a good certification in place. A good analyst matures only with time. The others are out there to just attract more emotional outbursts with people reading negatively about Graphology. Also my view is that what a experienced Graphologist could analyse in a short time and a short period of study, a psychologist assesment guy would take more time and effort to do the same. And more over spending so much on doing phd/s in psycho and other studies, wheres the ROI for the psychologists if Graphology races ahead :) this is one of the reasons for Graphology being looked down upon.

And you know what else? If they write their letters all exactly the same angle it means the're totally, like, trustworthy? and you can lend them money and they'll totally pay it back? But if the letters are all janky they're like a scammer? And if they make their "A"s all pointy it means they're a Sagittarius. And if they put a circle instead of a dot on their "i"s it means they're a witch! But the only way you can tell for sure if they're a witch is if you dunk them in water and they don't drown. But if they do drown maybe they weren't a witch but now they're with Jesus so it's OK. And if they believe in "handwriting analysis" they totally like believing stuff and they're really bad at critical thinking. So true! And you know what else?

A person who just reads some books outside and attempts to work for corporate is unfit in my view. Professional training in graphology takes at least 2 years of time and there are few organisation which adhere to that high standards.

Also, a small signature doesn't necessarily mean that you suffer from low self-esteem. Many academics have small handwritings. In fact a small handwriting is usually a sign of concentration and focus.
