For more than five decades, Dr. Igal Vardi has dedicated his professional life to the study of human personality and to developing ways of understanding people beyond what can be learned from a résumé, a job interview, or a first impression. Over the years, this work evolved into a professional methodology that combines accumulated experience, academic thinking, and systematic observation of human behaviour. Today, this methodology supports organisations, executives, and professionals who seek greater confidence when making important people decisions.
The Approach
Understanding the Person, Not Just the Candidate
People decisions are among the most significant decisions any organisation makes. A résumé describes experience. An interview reflects communication. Assessment tools measure specific abilities. Yet important questions often remain unanswered. How does a person respond under pressure? How are important decisions made? What motivates them? How will they integrate into a team? What leadership potential do they possess? Throughout his career, Dr. Vardi has focused on answering these questions through a structured and disciplined approach, recognising that human personality is far more complex than any single assessment tool can capture.
Experience and Research
A Journey of Research, Experience, and Creation
The pursuit of understanding human personality has led Dr. Vardi to explore a broad range of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, graphology, management, creativity, and the arts. Over the years, he has developed original personality models, published numerous books, and lectured to organisations and professional audiences. Each discipline has contributed another perspective to a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour — one that considers not only professional competence but the individual as a whole. The knowledge accumulated over decades is grounded not only in theory, but also in extensive practical experience gained through working with executives, managers, employees, candidates, and organisations across diverse industries.
The Guiding Principles
The Principles That Guide Every Assessment
The work of Igal Vardi Graphologists Ltd. is built on a simple principle: the more complete our understanding of a person, the better our decisions about that person can become. Graphological assessment is not presented as a replacement for interviews or other evaluation methods. Instead, it serves as an additional source of insight within a broader decision-making process. Its purpose is not to predict the future or replace professional judgement — its purpose is to provide another meaningful layer of information that supports informed, balanced, and responsible decisions.
- Professional excellence
- Integrity and professional responsibility

- Structured methodology and critical thinking
- Continuous learning and development

Looking Ahead
The world of work continues to evolve. Artificial intelligence, hybrid workplaces, and rapidly changing organisational environments present new challenges for leaders and decision makers. In this changing landscape, the ability to understand people deeply becomes even more valuable. We continue to refine our methodology, expand our knowledge, and support organisations in making better people decisions — guided by the belief that every successful organisation begins with a deeper understanding of the people who shape it.
