Which of these 3 Engineer(s) Will You Select to Manage Your Projects? --- A Long-term Analysis in a Corporate Setting

By S.Sulianah | Certified Handwriting Analyst and Self-Esteem Personal Coach

The following is based on a long-term analysis of 13 years in a corporate setting. This is based on the personality analysis from these handwriting and on-site observation.

​These handwriting are written by employees who performed same job scopes and  responsibilities. The only difference between them are their work experiences.

As of to date, the employee who wrote Handwriting A has about ten years of work experience; Handwriting B has about 18 years; and Handwriting C’s about 21 years work experience.
​ 
I was studying these three handwriting.

In this article, the question is:
Who would you assign your company’s projects to? And what are the criteria before selecting which of these engineers to manage your project?

CRITERIA OF A PROJECT IN CHARGE

1. Responsible and Reliable — Run the project from the beginning. Handover the project to the client upon completion with completed documents and drawings systematically.
2. Trustworthy — The engineer will speak and act as a well-presented representative on behalf of your company. He will not manipulate findings and data.
3. Clarity in the project scope — able to communicate details of project to the technical staff under him, able to speak and communicate his opinions and findings to the clients, co-workers and you as the employer in a clear, firm and detailed manner.
4. Decide logically. Not inclined to decide based on his emotion, and not fickle-minded. 

When handwriting were analysed, I had applied the basic technical concept such as handwriting zones, pressure, directions and handwriting were consistent throughout the period of observation. To understand the basic technicalities, please refer to the seminar HR Struggles and Solutions to Recruiting the Right Employee. 

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS

1.   Observe the handwriting in an aerial perspective. Which of these handwriting is consistent in terms of slants, pressure and direction?

As an employer or advisor to the Director, I would select Handwriting of Engineers A and B. They have the consistency throughout the handwriting, in particularly slants. They are predictable and will be consistent in their performance. I know I can rely on them to start and complete the projects.

How about Engineer C? Would I rely on him to run and complete the projects? Based on his handwriting, No. How about based on my in-person observation? My answer is still the same. My long-term observation of Engineer C being at site and working with the clients and co-workers support my analysis. In a sentence, there is a variation of slants, left, upward and right.

​He finds it challenging to decide who to believe, what to decide and who to support. He is fighting within himself and that put himself in an indecisive position. Whenever someone tells him something, he agrees to him and then he will switch back again and again when he speaks to another person, without particularly focusing on his personal perspective of the situation. Unpredictable mood and thoughts. 

2.   Illegibility in handwriting and possibilities of manipulating. Can I read the handwriting? Engineer A and B, Yes. But C, No.

Are you able to decipher which is ‘a’, ‘o’, ‘h’ for Engineer C's? I have to read the whole sentence to guess the word he is writing. And how is this employee, Engineer C, in person? Why wouldn’t I rely on this guy even though in person, he could be better in his technical knowledge compared to Engineer B?
​
Engineer C has a good understanding in understanding the technical knowledge of the projects in the company such as how one equipment works. The downside of Engineer C is he is smart in manipulating situations, changing his words and stories that fit who he is talking to. If he speaks to the boss, he will change his words to suit what he wants with the boss, and then uses it with his manager, twist it well to fit what he needs. And when there are any conflicts, the argument will be between the boss and his manager, not him. And he will make sure that no one can read what he is thinking. In addition, Engineer C also has actual cases of manipulating data and readings at site, but he managed to twist the story and changed the blame to someone else's.  So, would you trust Engineer C with the projects in hand?

​3.  Who out of the three engineers will read, understand the project scope and communicate it to the technical team who works under him and the clients? I will select Engineer A as my first choice. However, if A is not available, I will select Engineer B but not C. 
 
Engineer A spends his time meticulously reading and understanding project scopes, and able to explain the technicalities of the project as in-depth as possible including the ins and outs. In comparison to Engineer B and C, Whenever there are conflicts regarding project scopes which clients, Engineer A normally will be able to defend factually based on the data and proposal. While Engineer B and C will often heat up the situations triggering clients to complain to the management. 

4.   Of these three engineers, who is able to decide logically? Observe the directions of the slants. 

If I want a project in charge to decide based on facts and data without being influenced by his feelings, I will rely on Engineer A.
 
If I would like to make sure someone can manage the employees and have empathy to the staff under them, I will choose Engineer B. However, if I want someone who doesn’t slash the employees with harsh words and able to manage his temper, I will still select Engineer A. There are signs of frustrations, bitterness and sarcasm in Engineer B’s handwriting which is also evident in person.
 
Engineer C is more adaptive to who he speaks to which will be a plus point, however, because he is unpredictable and couldn't decide which could and had caused conflicts and misunderstanding, I would say as an employer and manager, I will avoid selecting Engineer C.
