"...as
you know, hiring good people is critical to our success. We
need people who not only have the technical skills to do the job
but also ‘fit’ in our culture. The analysis reports
you prepare for us are an invaluable tool we use in assessing a
candidates ‘fit.’ They help us to get a complete
‘picture’ of the candidate. Thanks again."

"HuVista
has been an extremely valuable tool to our office over the past
ten plus years. We have found that the Quick Screen has been
very useful to verify the ‘feelings’ that you get during
an interview. But what we have found even more valuable over
the past four years has been the Comprehensive Profile on current
employees.
"We
have used the Comprehensive Profile to better understand work habits,
decision making skills and different personalities within the team.
Having a better understanding of the individual staff members
has lowered our turnover and when we do have a vacancy, we have
a better understanding of what type of a person would best fit into
that spot.
"Our
entire staff has had their handwriting analyzed. We go over
the report with the employee and it is up to them if they care to
share it with the rest of the staff. Everyone has been amazed
at the accuracy. Not only is it useful - but its fun."
Peggy
Area
Representative, (Personnel Company)
"...we
decided to try a new way of validating soft skills in our hiring
process. Iris Hatfield of HuVista gave two staff members a
handwriting analysis. Since that time, HuVista has provided
us a new tool for discerning candidacy, as well as an opportunity
to indicate areas for improvement within our new hires. There
have been seven new hires added to our team with no turnover.
Moreover, the HuVista staff is professional, courteous and responsive
to our business. The attention, level of accuracy and dedication
HuVista provides in second to none."
Kevin
Manager,
Human Resources, (Manufacturer)
"Your
service has been prompt, courteous and very informative. Although
I have never met you personally, I feel that you are my friend and
confidante in my business, with only my best interests in mind."
Dr.
Richard, (Dentist)
Illinois
"Through
handwriting analysis you have provided insight that has helped us
select a successful team and consequently a successful company.
Our company has grown tenfold during HuVista's time of service and
without your people’s help it would have been more difficult.
"Thanks
for being a partner in our growth. The accuracy of your reports
have withstood the test of time. In ten years I have not handed
a full HuVista report to an associate we hired that did not agree
with the report. They are always surprised to find out that
the report was done solely from analyzing their handwriting."
William
President,
(Publishing Company)

"...I
must admit I thought that the handwriting analysis was mostly black
magic and very little science. I had not used this type of
information before in making management decisions. After talking
with you about my own personal analysis, I’m a believer!
It’s somewhat exciting for someone to take our writing and
be able to analyze our very being. It is also somewhat scary.
However, I now feel it’s just another management tool that
I can use in picking people and putting them in the proper position.
I will never again recruit and interview for a middle managers position
or above without using your type of analysis. I was impressed
and appreciate your assistance in helping me do a more professional
job for the company I work for."
Tom
Senior Vice President, (Manufacturing
Company)

"Along
the way there have been various tools and techniques that we have
used in this process. However, the most consistent management
tool in dealing with our most valuable resource, people, has been
the handwriting analysis provided by HuVista.
There
have been times when some of my executives, upon being introduced
to the handwriting analysis concept for the first time, looked at
it with skeptical eyes. My response to them has always been
the same, "I understand how you feel, but take it yourself
and be your own judge. It is amazing that not one of these executives
was a skeptic thereafter."

Clients Receiving Personal Reports:
"I
had some rough times, needed to take a good hard look at myself,
who I am and where I’m going. I felt HuVista might give
me some answers, but never expected such insightful results.
Now I have the information I need to go forward."

personal analysis, I have experienced hope, encouragement, assurance,
reassurance and the awareness of a more positive self, the art of
living in the present and the embracing of contentment today."

"Thought
I’d try it and you read me like a book! It was very,
very helpful. Thanks so much. Think I’ll give
some as gifts to my skeptical friends and family."
Vicki

am using the information we discussed daily, and it really has helped
me. I am confident that the information I have in front of
me will help guide me in decisions I will make down the road regarding
career, etc. Thank you."

What the Press Says:
"Handwriting
analysis is cheaper and simpler than psychological testing."
Forbes Magazine
"We
gave 18 (handwriting ) samples to noted graphologist Iris Hatfield, president of HuVista.
Friends and business associates of the executive subjects said they
were ‘astounded’ or ‘flabbergasted’ by how
closely the analyses had depicted the CEOs psyches."
Industry Week
"In
Europe, graphology is used widely in business to detect personality
traits as varied as ego drive and risk aversion. In corporate
America, though, it’s not an easy sell, despite growing recognition
of the costs of high turnover (50% of the newly hired don’t
last six months in the jobs they were hired for), and even though
many CEOs are becoming smarter about hiring."

"To
help you make the right hiring choices, then, you could submit a
one-page sample of the candidate’s handwriting to
Iris Hatfield for analysis. Hatfield, with years
of experience in the psychographic field, is president of HuVista International Inc. in Louisville, KY
where, with her staff analyze handwriting samples sent to her company
by small-business owners and by personnel managers of mid-sized
companies. Sometimes she even gets requests from Fortune 500
corporations.” Hatfield explains: “They
send in the handwriting samples with a job description, nothing
more. We can’t tell age, race or sex from handwriting.
What we do contribute is some answers to: Does this person
have the potential, the characteristics, the aptitudes for a specific
job?"
Dun
& Bradstreet Reports
"To
land a position in Paris (France), penmanship can be paramount.
Companies ask Graphologists to look at handwriting for clues to
competence."
Wall Street Journal
"You
are what you write."
