[[Graphology]] is the study and analysis of [[human]] handwriting with the intent of assessing a person's [[psychological]] state. Handwriting experts are technically known as forensic document examiners.
Some Graphologists believe details like spacing of words, dotted "i's" and crossed "t's", could reveal unconscious mental functions.
:: As an example it is said that: ''Hillary Clinton is smart and forceful, John McCain is proud but has a volatile temper, and Barack Obama is a diplomat who deals well with different people and situations.'' <ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080518/ts_alt_afp/usvotegraphology In US election, every (written) word counts] Yahoo! news. </ref>
Neuroscientist [[Barry Beyerstein]] (1996) considers the majority of the notions of graphologists to be no more than sympathetic [[magic]].
