Ranking Handwriting Attributes in the Signatures of One Person: A Survey of Forensic Document Examiners
By: Martha A. Blake
Abstract
A survey was designed to capture how forensic document examiners evaluate a set of signatures by 1 person and rank the significance of various handwriting aspects in terms of individualizing quality. Examiners were asked to rank the individualizing quality of a total of 40 handwriting attributes chosen by the author. Sixteen examiners completed the survey. The rankings were compiled and showed moderate to excellent consensus in the ranking of 92% (37) of the attributes and a lack of consensus in the ranking of only 8% (3) of the attributes.
