Graphology is the study of handwriting. It is a theory or practice for inferring a person's character, disposition, and attitudes from their handwriting and graphology is generally considered pseudoscience .The term is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to forensic document examination. Elaine Quigley, a leading expert graphologist, and chair of the British Institute of Graphologists, describes graphology as 'brain writing' - the handwriting comes directly from the writer in a uniquely personal and individual way, irrespective of how the person has been taught to write: an expert graphologist understands the styles of the different countries and languages and makes allowances for 'taught' influences. Also largely irrelevant to the actual analysis is the content of the written text.

Abstract


Graphology is the study of handwriting. It is a theory or practice for inferring a person's character, disposition, and attitudes from their handwriting and graphology is generally considered pseudoscience .The term is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to forensic document examination. Elaine Quigley, a leading expert graphologist, and chair of the British Institute of Graphologists, describes graphology as 'brain writing' - the handwriting comes directly from the writer in a uniquely personal and individual way, irrespective of how the person has been taught to write: an expert graphologist understands the styles of the different countries and languages and makes allowances for 'taught' influences. Also largely irrelevant to the actual analysis is the content of the written text.
