Abstract

In this project, we aim to develop an android app to predict if a person is an extrovert or
introvert by analyzing their handwriting in an offline manner using deep learning.
Graphology is the analysis of physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting which has
many applications in the field of employment profiling, marital compatibility, graphotherapy,
psychological analysis, medical diagnosis, etc. Graphology is an effective tool used in
employment profiling. According to an article published in 1988 in The Wall Street Journal
around 80% of the fastest growing companies in Western Europe used handwriting analysis
as part of their HR procedures hiring full time graphology experts. Model training is done on
Google colaboratory and the model is then compressed using Tensorflow Lite to run on a
mobile device. This can reduce human effort and handwriting analysis can be done without
the supervision of a graphologist.
