Graphology: is the study and analysis of handwriting especially in relation to human psychology. In the medical field, it can be used to refer to the study of handwriting as an aid in diagnosis and tracking of diseases of the brain and nervous system. The term is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to forensic document examination.

Graphology according to wiki is the study of handwriting. It came from a Greek word "graphos" which means "writing". But why is it kinda new to most of us? If I'm not mistaken, handwriting were invented during stone age, remember the logos that are engraved in caves, mountains, and pyramids? I read that the research started in 1575. But I actually just heard it last year from my psychologist. hehe!
Just this year, i saw a booth in Megatrade that conducts graphoanalysis. My psychologist said there's still a big debate if people would consider it a science, coz most of its empirical studies fail to show the validity claimed by its supporters. And so, my curiosity popped out. I went to Megatrade for that Expo that conducts free graphoanalysis. They asked me to write my name and the words "i love you" in a piece of paper. And then they started reading my handwriting. First thing the pop from his (grapho analyst) mouth---"It will only look that you have a strong personality (yea, right)... but in fact you are a very shy person (whaaaaat?????!!!!). You're having a hard time to approach or talk to a certain person. (huh???)". That doesnt sound convincing to me. Shyness in the first place is not included in my dictionary. I think this man was just trying to manipulate me, he wants me to think about what he has said and relate it to myself. I also thought that he's just too lazy that day as I am (i think) his 1,111th client. hehe! And so, i cracked a clever question in front of more or less 50 people in his booth---"Doctor, are this for real?, coz i have a lot of different handwriting forms depends on the pen that i am using. Does this mean that i have MPS (multiple personality syndrome)?" Then, he answered, "We are not allowed to answer your question." Wdf?!
That boggled me until i was able to see my psychologist. My life coach then told me that they will not really tell you how'd they come up with their results. Coz its really a top secret. hmm. My psychologist need not explain further, as i reacted as if i got her point. lol! I actually understand why they couldnt spill the beans, they've spent big bucks for the course. hehe!
My life coach said that their readings are based on my mood that day and not because of the pen that I was using. Which is now I've connected the dots. That day, when the grapho analyst said that im shy, i am not actually really shy, but scared (ok, a little shy) to approach him as he might gonna tell something about me that is negative and people will surely hear it. And that's quite embarrasing right?! Now, its clear to me. My mood that day is shy because I'm scared. Ok. hmmm...
My keen sense of curiosity doesn't stop there. Im more curious to use graphology for an elaborated personality evaluation. And so i made a research and found this site http://handwritingwizard.com. Below are the results, the one i typed in bold letters are exactly true with regard to my mood today and my personality as well. Let me know what you think.
Roqzanne is very outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.
Roqzanne will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Roqzanne an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.
When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Roqzanne is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.
Roqzanne is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Roqzanne doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Roqzanne is sensitive to criticism about her ideas and philosophies. She will sometimes worry what people will think if she tells them what she believes in. This doesn't mean she won't talk, or that she feels ashamed. It merely means she is sensitive to what others think, regarding her beliefs.
Roqzanne is talkative. She enjoys talking and socializing. She may talk when there is absolutely nothing important to say. She enjoys speaking.
In reference to Roqzanne's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Roqzanne slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.
She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Roqzanne can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Roqzanne is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Roqzanne basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence category, her self-perception is better than average.
Roqzanne is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
Roqzanne has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.
