Letter: Letter: Revealing hand

Published 27 January 1990

From MARK BALLINGTON

Regarding recent items on graphology, I wonder if the personnel departments
of such organisations employing this technique have considered the reaction
of potential applicants. Could a potential applicant be led to wonder what
‘management techniques’ are used by other functions of the organisation?
My pet image is the planning department consulting the entrails of a chicken.
Perhaps others also have such visions.
