Main Article Content
Abstract
Graphology is a method of assessing human personality based on the individual's handwriting style. Personality in terms of various attributes such as fear, honesty, work habits, social skills, among others, can be profiled using graphology. The main objective of this study focused on establishing the importance of its study and application as a contribution in psychological expertise, from a systematic review of the literature (SRL). A review and estimation of preliminary research was conducted over a period of five years (2019-2023), operating the search engines of Scopus, ScienceDirect, Redalyc, Dialnet, Scielo and SpringerLink. Studies were selected based on a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 256 articles in Spanish and English were selected, excluding 185 because they did not meet the criteria. Of the remaining 71, 50 duplicates were eliminated, applying the snowball method, for a total of 21 articles that formed the basis of the research. The results showed that handwriting can provide information about a person's personality, including his or her level of impulsivity, emotional intelligence, level of anxiety, emotional stability, and other significant traits that may be relevant for psychological diagnosis and treatment.
