Graphology is the study of
handwriting, especially when employed as a means of analyzing character. Real handwriting
experts are known as forensic document examiners, not as graphologists. Forensic (or
questioned) document examiners consider loops, dotted "i's" and crossed
"t's," letter spacing, slants, heights, ending strokes, etc. They examine
handwriting to detect authenticity or forgery.
Graphologists examine loops, dotted "i's" and crossed "t's," letter
spacing, slants, heights, ending strokes, etc., but they believe that such handwriting
minutiae are physical manifestations of unconscious mental functions. Graphologists
believe such details can reveal as much about a person as astrology , palm reading,
psychometry, or the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. However, there is no evidence
that the unconscious mind is a reservoir of truth about a person, much less that
graphology provides a gateway to that reservoir.
Graphology is claimed to be useful for everything from understanding health issues,
morality and past experiences to hidden talents and mental problems.* However, "in
properly controlled, blind studies, where the handwriting samples contain no content that
could provide non-graphological information upon which to base a prediction (e.g., a piece
copied from a magazine), graphologists do no better than chance at predicting...
personality traits...." We
