Is it wrong for me to consider my applicant's handwriting before hiring them?

Yeah, you're probably not wrong.

Doctors are terrible employees, but "basic bitches" who want to be the "teachers pet" of the workplace are GREAT employees

The younger the person the less it matters. If you want to best measure your applicants work ethic make them take a test on the big 5 aspect scale and rate them by conscientiousness. There is no perfect method but I am not aware of a better metric.

Smell their underwear too.
Make sure they are members of the right organizations.
Mandatory pajamas too.

I kinda want to hear more on your take about the age. How do you feel about someone older with terrible handwriting? I think I've heard of that "big 5" test. I'll look into it.

Sloppy handwriting is linked to a higher IQ

Depends. There's a difference between good handwriting, and faggy handwriting. I still write in cursive because it's quicker for me, but if you're taking exorbitant amounts of time to write something because you want it to look good, you're a either a faggot or a woman - neither of which I would recommend hiring.

If you only hire straight white men you will be golden.

Ok, lets say your right, and I can see the logic there.
Higher IQ doesn't mean much to me. If it can't be focused and neat then that employee could just rattle around the workplace and get into conflicts with other staff. I don't really want a mr smarty pants "I know better then you" walking around all day second guessing everyone and judging them.

If I want to hire people suited to the task, I don't want someone remind them that their life choices and accomplishments has lead them to stacking exactly 20 boxes on a wooden slab and then applying shrink wrap to it.

i grew up on keyboard my handwriting always sucked i'm in the top 1% of the worlds developers skill wise.

Based annon, nothing is better then the crisp and musky smell of lightly worn panties

Penmanship

Good point, thanks

It’s dumb because nowadays everyone’s handwriting is worse in general people born 94 onward did most of their writing on computers

>Higher IQ doesn't mean much to me.
It should. It'll take less time to train them to do whatever task you've assigned them and should eventually require less babysitting.
>I don't really want a mr smarty pants "I know better then you" walking around all day second guessing everyone and judging them.
Kek. You may want to reassess your perspective there.

In my experience, unless they're women (who are agreeable and eager to please) Over qualified staff end up being confrontational, insubordinate, or even downright bullies to other employees. This was a huge problem pulling out of 2008 when industry jobs got flooded with some of the first waves of people who'd never end up using those college degrees very well. They'd overstep their domains, thinking that they'd get some kind of promotion or something if they nitpicked something enough, or even worse acted like they already had. Some of the worst hires I've ever had.

I mean, I kinda feel sorry for them honestly. You hear those stories about those PHD students who threw themselves off the roof of a call center? Dumb people and Smart people do not mix well.

fucking boomer.

I don't think handwriting is very important even for someone older. Unless it was a big part of their job it might be completely irrelevant to their life, hand written correspondence hasn't been necessary for at least the last 50 years. Even on the personal development front it would probably be a big waste. Spending an hour a day trying to better your calligraphy wouldn't benefit you nearly as much as excercising or practicing a craft. With the exception of someone like Bush 41 who used letters as a personal touch, much to the appreciation of the recipients many of whom kept their letters. However that is a rare use case as most won't ever need to keep up popularity with a large number of people.

I think what makes me ask, not saying you're wrong here, is I've just noticed all of my favorite employees have one common trait and that is their handwriting has been superb. The better it has been the more I've liked them. Also worth noting the harder they worked to be likeable in the first place. Your point is obvious and it stands. So I guess its all anecdotal on my part.

>Doesn't consider other perspectives
>Possibly stuck in their own ideas
>Quick to judge and mangle anther's view to match their own preconceived notions
I dunno, sounds pretty boomer to me. Hope you're older then I am friend.

You should be a little bit more critical if you're going to psychoanalyze your potential employees.

Firstly, how complicated is the job? If someone is neat and orderly it's not going to help them in a volatile work environment. If there are too many unknowns it's going to slow down the conscientious.

Of course, it doesn't matter how fast you run if you don't run in a straight line. But if general competence is low and all practices aren't established then you might need a maverick more than you think.

However, if someone doesn't need to think to work then you should hire based off that for sure. Don't just stop at handwriting, go for simple word choice and also neat and uncreative psychical appearances. Make sure they are more relatable than pretentious but at the same time really eager to work.

Don't forget that firing people has a net benefit too, trading out your worse worker for an even worse worker has a net benefit if group productivity rises out of fear.

A college degree has very little to do with how intelligent someone is these days (with the express exception of STEM degrees). Any moron can get access to essentially unlimited credit though federally backed students loans and get a meme "studies" degree. Those "degrees" do not give a +20 IQ point stat buff, and those people are still the same retards they were before they got the degree. Look for actual markers of intelligence.

Thanks user, good perspective

Can’t remember the last time I fucking wrote something lmao
