Graphoanalysis refers to the largest group of practitioners of Graphology in the United States and Canada which were trained by an organization known as the International Graphoanalysis Society (IGAS). The group trains annually thousands of persons who seek to learn the principles of Graphology, and become "Graphoanalysts" 2 through home study. Graphoanalysis is defined by IGAS as a scientific system of identifying and assessing the character and personality of an individual through a detailed study of handwriting. It cannot distinguish sex, race, religious affiliation, or sexual preference. This allows the Graphoanalyst to provide a detailed and unbiased assessment.
