graphology

The study of the writing systems of a language, including the number and formation of letters, spelling patterns, accents, and punctuation. In the 19th century it was believed that analysis of a person's handwriting could give an indication of his or her personality, a belief still held in a more limited fashion today.

Personality as revealed by handwriting was studied by Chinese scholars more than 800 years ago. However, the correlations found between characteristics of handwriting and personality in modern graphology are few.
