Wrong. It means exactly that.




Usually when something is not statistically relevant you can also prove it. I am not sure how you would do it in this case.

It probably works to some limited extents: for example, I am sure they can guess rather accurately whether the candidate is male or female.

So I do see a difference between a non valid tool and a tool whose efficiency is hard to evaluate.

Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't use graphology.
