Memorandum to:

From:

Subject:

This is an invited proposal, the first that we have been able to stimulate despite the fact that we have been working in graphology for two years now. It is particularly appropriateto our needs in that A. It gives us contact with the entire traphology community and B. It achieves this relationship at a very modest cost on a participating basis.

I recommend that a supplement to our Handwriting Analysis Task Budget be made in the amount of \$3 500. This amount is larger than the estimated budget submitted because it is my C/ opinion that as his work progresses under the stimulus our grant will provide, he will find he has not allowed sufficient funds to achieve his objectives.

Enclosure #1 i proposal. Enclosure 2 is our letter of committal which transmits a first payment on the grant in the amount of \$300.

My unorthodox action in making this transmittal was dictated by the small amount invclved, by the deliberation and planning which has borne the approval and consent of our Directors and C and by my strongly felt need to respond quickly to this proposal for public relations purposes. If, after consideration, you feel that this grant should not be made, there are sufficient administrative funds on hand to cover the first year's grant and these can be diverted from otherprojects.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD

SUBJECT : Supplementary Funds, MKULTRA, Subproject 83

1. The purpose of the supplement to this project is to support a special research study of handwriting analysis. Graphologists will categorize a number of handwriting specimens according to the degree to which these specimens tend to reveal personality dimensions. Other experts in handwriting analysis, including graphologists, handwriting identification experts and experimental psychologists, will examine the above groups of handwriting specimens to determine any identifiable characteristics of the actual handwriting. Both the above phases will be repeated as a cross validation.

2. The original budget for this project did not cover the cost of this research phase. The specific direction of research could not be determined untild Completed the final stages of his survey of handwriting analysis. The attached supplementary budget includes estimated fees for graphologists and administration costs associated only with this research phase.

3. The total additional cost of this project will not exceed \$8,000.00, (thereby bringing to a total of \$33,000.00 funds obligated to 1 May 1959), to be charged against Allotment 9-2502-75-902.

Recammendations for a Test of Handwriting Analysis

Genercl Comment. Handwriting analysis in the presant state of its development is more art than sclance. The meder grephologist attempts to asssss total personelity in toras of the total handwriting sample, cnd insists that no singie handwriting elemeni has neoning In and of Itself, but must be considered in the contoxt in which it is found. There are certain "prinsiples" to which mcst graphelogists adhere that lead to seneral agrsenert on meny points of handwriting intarprotation, kut ths Baal product is on in.lviduei periar.: ance roflecting the training ond corvlotara af a porticulor graphelogist. Asked to exolain how he drrives at a porticular pudgmenr, the graphologist will essien tentstive value to vorlous handwriting elemcnts. cuch as slant, resur, soeed, Ne., Ineting that nis Interpretaren of soch niccent is cundiloned sy the total pattem ef grachle lndlcotor he secs in the somple. Thare is, then, ao anatomy of graphology fhat can be tested per s: the oaly sractical rscourse is to test the performance of severel handwriting onalysts who aocear to be most cuallled.

Forformance in either cose is evaluated by an "expert" judgs or panel of judgos whose knowledge of the Subjects may includa face-to-face interviews, appralsal by acqucintances, biographies, and indeed all information available for delineating each personallty.

A simple sorting test can be employed. In the past,scripts have been shuffied and the graphologist asked to sort them according to sex, indications of honesty er dishonesty, end eccording to whather the writer would score high er low on certain psychoiogical teshs. (in possing, It should bo noted that the modem grophologist reruses to judge the sax of a writar.)

A favorite apgroach of Americon ssychologisis who hovo cancemed themselves with hondwriting analysis, is the meosurement of certain physical or geometric cspects of hondwriting In the attempt to establish correlations berween these and well-defined personality trait. These studies have produced claims of significant correlations and ciairs of no correlatlon whatsoever, As an investigation of handwriting, this method comes the neorest to sotisfyin. the demands of objective methodology. Ths need for u proiessionel grapnologist is eliminatod, for this is a test of handwritiog os a projectivo devise, and nor a test of handwriting analysis as practiced by the graphologist. lt deas not consider tho totol sample, nor has it thus for been aole to sxplora the laterplay of various handwriting elements.

in decignated positlons and those who ctearly hove failed in or are atherwise not fitted for the positions, There are no known instancss of this precise approoch to the test of hendwriting analysis, possibly becausa there has been no need of it or quite possibly because it is o "looded" situetion smacking of unethical practice.

in the matching or the sorting tests, the grophologist would know that he was corticipating in an experiment, though he need not be awore that other srophologists were moking judgments on tho some handwriting samples. In the tost of graphology in industry, the hamndoriting cnolyst wculd, of course, remain unawore of the test situation.

Personnel Selection. If only one experimentai approcch is to be used, tho test of industrial grapholozy is recommended os the least encumbering and the easiast to evaiuste. Airhough ir will cot permlt a comperison of handwrißing analysis with othor projective techniques, it offers an excsllent opportunity to test the accuracy of the grachoioglst's judgments coaceming a subject's perfommance and behovior. The selection of suitable hundwriting sornples for this test will be more difflcult than it would be for sorting ar mnatching experiments.

Graphologlsts place no restrictions on the types of jobs for which they are willing to interorat handwriting. They hava deciared themselvss comoetent to odvise on joks as diverse as cottsn grading, adverising, proof rsading, occountancy, and various supervisory cnd administrative pcsition.
