Handwriting Analysis, and Comprehensive Astrology and Numerology

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the most popular psychological personality assessment tools in existence today.

The basis of the test includes four main sets of attributes: Extraversion-Introversion; Sensing-Intuition; Thinking-Feeling; and Judgment-Perception. The theory is that you predominantly are or do one or the other: extraverted or introverted; sense or intuit; think or feel; and judge or perceive.

While I believe there may be some value in this sort of evaluation, particularly in helping to determine social inclination, for example, two things must be kept in mind:

1. This is a self-assessment test, which means that it may not accurately reflect the true personality of the subject—especially when they are under pressure to match a desirable set of personality traits, as in a job interview, and they figure out the intent of the questions while taking the test.
2. Many people aren’t on either extreme of the four personality areas outlined above, so the test may erroneously reflect their true personality even if they fill it out objectively—and they may get totally different results each time they take it since the test labels you as either-or and nothing in-between.

In order to get an accurate read on personality, I strongly suggest that you apply a wide range of evaluations, including some or all of the following: various psychological testing methods; feedback from multiple objective sources; and my favorite, because it’s impossible to fake the test results, handwriting analysis along with comprehensive astrology and numerology.

In determining your optimum career, or if you’re a hiring supervisor looking for the right person for the job, a wide range of personality evaluations are firmly recommended.

You might even try some of the more recently developed assessments such as the on-line color test featured in this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/color-job-aptitude-test-shows-ceos/story?id=9773427&page=2

Although the on-line color test advocate claims that the test shows that most CEOs are emotionally unstable, less likely to be perfectionists, and more cooperative than the typical person, I believe such generalizations are a detriment and a warning sign that you better look more deeply into each individual’s character and not make broad assumptions.

A Career Compatibility and Assessment guide (see Services page), for example, illustrates that there are clear differences in abilities between an administrative assistant sort of skill-set and the traits demanded of a typical CEO or entrepreneur, for instance, despite what the on-line color test promoters claim (“…typical CEO is well-suited to be an admin assistant…”).

While such easy to take, one-dimensional tests might offer you some insight, I strongly recommend using them in conjunction with more in-depth personality assessments, such as handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology.

Professional coaches can give you vocational guidance, along with a lot of encouragement during a job search, or in your existing livelihood. However, the typical psychological evaluations utilized to help you further define your skills (e.g., Myers-Briggs) can be too general and indistinct, as mentioned in this article:

http://blogs.wsj.com/laidoff/2010/02/18/doubting-the-value-of-a-career-assessment/

Even so, coaches can be very valuable in helping you to identify the significance of your existing experience, to help you identify realistic professional goals, and help you stay on track to success.

But what do you do if you want to get into a totally new career and you would like to identify, in detail, your subconscious motivations and abilities to help you make the most of your new venture? You need career assessment methods that delve deeply into your personality, such as handwriting analysis in conjunction with comprehensive astrology and numerology.

It’s recommended you take a cautious approach with everyone you interact extensively or do business with, and even if you don’t have any doubts about their integrity, avoid opening yourself up to excessive risk.

Reduce the risk in your personal life or in your business through background checks. You can do part of it yourself through newspaper and industry specific databases, or through basic on-line background check sites like peoplesearchnow.com.

Just be aware of the fact that no matter how thoroughly you check someone’s background, if they are sneaky enough, you’ll miss key red flags. Therefore, I recommend alternative methods such as handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology in conjunction with conventional methods.

It’s commonly known that many government and law enforcement jobs demand background checks as a prerequisite for hire, but there exist many other situations where thorough background checks are appropriate, as outlined in this article: http://www.ehow.com/facts_5932525_background-check-needed_.html

Stay safe with thorough background checks.

Whether it’s personal or business, I recommend you look into a person’s background thoroughly before you invite excessive risk into your life.

You can do some of the personal history checking yourself through various on-line sources, for example, or you can hire a private investigator or security firm for more thorough checks.

Please note that you won’t uncover red flags if the person is good at covering their tracks. I recommend alternatives in conjunction with traditional background checks and security investigations, such as handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology.

In all types of security investigations, it’s imperative that you’re fair and ethical. Overstepping legal bounds in security investigations can have dire consequences, such as in the case of this private investigator:

While it’s important to reduce your risk, always avoid violating invasion of privacy laws, such as with illegal eavesdropping (tapping phones, keystroke-loggers/spyware on computers, et al.).
