graphology
(gcide) | graphoanalysis \graph`o*an*al"y*sis\
(gr[a^]f`[-o]*an*[a^]l"[i^]*s[i^]s), n.
The art of judging of a person's character, disposition, and
aptitude from his handwriting; also called graphology. As a
discipline, the modern form was developed by Milton Newman
Bunker in the period after 1915.
Note: Though its practitioners consider it a science, many
commentators believe that its methodology is not
scientific, and some consider it a pseudoscience, as is
astrology. Some information about graphoanalysis and
its methods can be found at the web site maintained by
the [a href="http:]/www.igas.com">International
Graphoanalysis Society.
