Graphology is the study of handwriting, particularly for the purpose of character analysis. It proposes that an individual's handwriting can reveal aspects of their personality, mood, and even their physical and mental state. Graphologists examine various features of handwriting, such as the size of letters, their slant, the pressure applied to the paper, the spacing between words and lines, and the formation of loops and connections between letters. Different formations and patterns are believed to correspond to specific personality traits.

The practice of graphology has a long history, with roots tracing back to ancient Greece. Over centuries, various systems and theories have been developed by different practitioners. However, it is important to note that graphology is widely regarded as a pseudoscience by the scientific community. Numerous studies have failed to demonstrate a reliable or consistent correlation between handwriting analysis and personality traits. Critics argue that graphological interpretations are often vague and can be applied to a wide range of individuals, leading to confirmation bias. Despite its lack of scientific validation, graphology is sometimes used in informal contexts, such as personality assessments or even in some recruitment processes, though its efficacy in these areas is highly questionable.
