How to Identify Qualities Employers Want The Top Ten Traits as shown in Handwriting
Find out how to identify personal qualities and characteristics of job applicants (or yourself), with one of the most accurate tools for measuring soft skills. A look at the traits most in demand with Employers, and how to identify them from handwriting.
If you hire staff, you know how difficult it is to know from a resume and interview who is the best person for the job. Its easy enough to establish credentials and even identify hard skills (such as keyboarding speed, mechanical skills etc). However, measuring the soft skills (communication skills, attitude and other personal qualities) is much harder. These skills are easily identifiable from writing, and as a Handwriting Analyst I help employers learn how to read the writing of their job applicants.
Below is one list of soft skills, or personal qualities, much in demand with employers and how to identify them from handwriting. The brief descriptions include only the most obvious traits for each. A total report for an employer as to which candidates possess the greatest degree of these skills, would involve many more traits and an in depth evaluation. Employers want someone who can:
1. Communicate Effectively
- Emotional responsiveness shown in moderate right hand slant
- Ability to communicate verbally shown in some open circle letters
- Good listener shown in some closed circle letters
- Empathy, shown in cup shaped base connections
2. Commit to the job including honesty, dependability and enthusiasm

- Determination long, firm down strokes on y,j,g,f
4. Accept responsibility evaluate your own work, use time effectively, and have pride in the quality of your work
- Willingness to accept responsibility shown in huge initial loop on M, N, or other letter structures
- Clear thinking lack of lead in strokes in writing
- Analytical v-shapes at the baseline between or in letters
- Pride
t and d stems twice the height of lower case letters
5. Excellent Interpersonal Skills work co-operatively with others, have a positive attitude, accept constructive criticism
- Optimism shown in up slanted t-bars and lines of writing
- Co-operative shown in mild yielding, lower case s with no angles
- Little or no sensitivity to criticism no loops on stems of t or d
