BY PAUL AND COLETTE OUELLETTE

Handwriting is extremely expressive and unique to each individual. A writer’s script can reveal a great deal about the person to the trained eye of an analyst.

Graphology or handwriting analysis is an art science used to interpret a person’s character and personality. It is a professional skill which is used increasingly all over the world.

A lot can be said about the way in which the pen hits the page.

The places that one may use a graphologist are human resources departments for job placement compatibility, law enforcement for fraudulent signature verifications, law firms for jury selections, newspapers to analyze the integrity of letters received and, on the lighter side, even mate compatibility.

We thought it would be interesting to do a character and personality analysis for the mayoral candidates in the city’s recent election. The following candidates agreed to allow us the opportunity to do so.

Ted Callaghan

Ted Callaghan

Ted Callaghan

Ted is a competent, respectful, strong individual, and not afraid to speak his mind. He enjoys being in the public eye and surrounded by people. Ted gets satisfaction doing his work well. He is a driving force and once he sets a goal, he will not lose sight of it. He does not crave the acceptance or approval of others.

Zack Gauthier

Zack is enthusiastic and versatile and enjoys life. He has a great sense of humor which helps him shrug off life’s disappoints. He will be quite motivated to learn new skills. Zack holds his work habits in high standards, and expects the same from others. He, on the other hand, does not like to micro managed or unfairly criticized.

Dennis Gorman

Unable to contact.

 

Marianne Matichuk

Chose not to participate when contacted.

 

Ed Pokonzie

David Popescu

David is reclusive and would have a small circle of friends. He can spend long periods of time by himself. He is most likely to have a high I.Q. Though he is polite and respectful and opens up easily to others, he is guarded and defensive. He has a temper but covers it up.

 

John Rodriguez

John Rodriguez

John Rodriguez

John is a well adjusted, stable individual with good judgment who has healthy relationships with other people. He works independently and thinks clearly on his feet. He prefers to take a step back and view things from a more distant and objective perspective. He moves steadily towards his goals, without allowing himself to be distracted either from influences outside himself or emotional reactions within himself.

 

Derek Young

Derek Young

Derek Young

Derek is self reliant, objective, shy individual. He is a clear thinker, and has good organizational ability. Derek is not easily distracted with his endeavors in life. He will be both passionate and expressive about his work. Derek will have difficulties making decisions and therefore can easily be led.

 


We would like to thank the candidates for giving us the opportunity to analyze their writing.

Paul and Colette Ouellette have completed a course in graphology. They will be taking the final exam for certification in the next few weeks. For more information, contact [email protected].
