Real-Life Decision Making
Durham Marketing, a large advertising corporation, is expanding. They want to hire many new employees, and of course they want to hire the right people. That's why they call you in to help.
Bob Durham, the CEO, hires you to do personality profiles of all the potential employees. He hopes to use your results to learn more about the people who might be on his staff. He says he wants upbeat people who can work in a team setting. "I don't want any people that are stubborn or set in their ways," he tells you.
As a graphologist, it isn't your job to tell Bob who to hire and not to hire. You simply look at collected samples of handwriting and tell him what you see.
You have to be careful when you do this work. If you make a mistake or emphasize the wrong qualities in a person, you could cost them a job.
You work through some of the first samples and record your findings.
As you work on sample F, you see the trait stubbornness in the handwriting. It's interesting to you that the rest of the handwriting sample shows a person with a strong moral foundation. It also shows a person who tends to make compromises and be good at teamwork. All in all, there are many, many positive traits in this person's handwriting.
In the light of this person's other characteristics, you believe that he would be a good team worker, and that the stubbornness might simply be persistence and an ability to achieve goals.
The boss clearly said he won't hire anyone who is stubborn. What do you do?
