One staffing tool used by some organizations to assess candidates' personality is graphology (handwriting analysis). Research findings on graphology indicate that when two graphology experts analyze a candidate's handwriting, they tend to agree with each other regarding the person's personality profile (i.e., they are consistent in their assessment). However, those same research findings show that personality profiles based on graphology are not related to a person's eventual job performance.
