Let's start from the quick comparison between science & pseudoscience:

🔬SCIENCE- based on evidence and scientific method

🔭PSEUDOSCIENCE- based on observation and not on scientific method

✍️🏻What is Graphology?

Graphology- study of Handwriting for the purpose of analysing writer's personality

Why is it regarded a Pseudoscience?

For two reasons:

1. Personality is something that changes, therefore the analysis of our Handwriting won't be the same in 10 years. How do you scientifically define that 'change'? How do you provide scientific evidence that once that person 20% less extroverted than they are now? Check any other Personality tests, like:
-MBTI
-HEXACO
-Eysenck Personality Inventory
-DiSC
and many others...
Why are they socially acceptable despite not being scientific and not Graphology?

2. You won't get identical Handwriting Analysis from two Graphologists..
Even if they have:
✔️ the same level of knowledge
✔️ notice the same traits in your Handwriting
❌️ the way they interpret and connect the dots between these traits, the importance they grant to these traits- is highly subjective due to personal differences between Graphologists.

No two human beings are the same. So stop blaming Graphology for being a pseudoscience, start blaming the mother nature...

Just kidding! 😂

Graphology is like an unconscious personality test and personality tests are not based on science because we can't scientically measure what we call 'personality'.
