  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.
