Handwriting and Examination:
Each of 45 teachers and 36 student teachers rated descriptive paragraphs varying in quality of content and quality of handwriting style. Multiple Classification Analysis indicated that neither the teacher characteristics of age, experience, level taught, and degrees held, nor the student teacher characteristic of level taught had a significant influence on the score given a paper. Analysis of variance indicated that the variation in scores explained by handwriting was significant. Papers with better handwriting consistently received higher scores than did those with poor handwriting regardless of quality of content. - American Educational Research Journal, Fall 1976, Vol:13

A search of the literature reveals numerous studies dating from the early twenties to recent years which have investigated the relationshop between the quality of handwriting and scores given to essays. These studies have consistently found that essays get higher grades when written in good handwriting (according researchers James, Sheppard, Chase, Marchall, Powers, Briggs, Markham, Bull and Stevens).

A study by researcher investigated the joint effect of marker expectation and handwriting quality on essay grades. Fabricated essay responses to questions on test theory were copied out in both very poor handwriting and very good handwriting. These responses we given to graduate students for scoring. It has been found that good handwriting ensured better scoring.

This clearly establishes the fact that an interaction exists between writer handwriting quality and scorer achievement.
