Graphology

Loosely put it is a science of signature and handwriting analysis. It dates back about 3000 years in ancient China and history shows that even the ancient Roman used this. The graphologist base the reading of an individual's character, etc. to his signature and handwriting. Today, many companies hire such analysts to check if a particular candidate would suit a key position in the company or not. The size of the writing, its slant, its curves, dots and dashes are taken into consideration before concluding the characteristics of an individual.
