Casanova is certainly the most famous womaniser of all times. He claimed to have seduced 122 women, including one nun (and perhaps a few men).

Self proclaimed the " World's Greatest Pick- Up Artist", Mystery is arguably the most famous womaniser of the 2000s.

(in my new book, I describe how to identify some basic personality traits, including sensual pleasures, using graphology/handwriting analysis).

Thanks to graphology, I now know that one of the greatest scientists was a womaniser. Until three years ago, I did not believe in handwriting analysis. I was very very sceptical about it. Then, as part of my research, I decided to make my own judgment, based on my own tests, instead of relying on others' opinions. I tried, again and again and again, tested on various samples. I found that graphology was reliable at 80-90%. This is more than enough to gauge the personality of an individual, and stop being victim of the primacy effect.

In some countries like Israel, Germany and France, companies use handwriting analysis and psychometric tests when recruiting. It is especially important when they hire senior executives. However in Anglo-Saxon countries, graphology remains seen as a game and party icebreaker by the public. Few are aware that their solicitors, banks and secret services work with graphologists. Some cases are too important to let the primacy effect affects some decisions.
