Is there a difference between document examination and graphology?
There is a big difference. Graphology studies psychological profiles by way of personality traits and document examination does not have anything to do with personality traits. Perhaps you could think of it as horse racing and car racing. They both share competition but are totally different. Graphologists and document examiners are two totally different fields of study. The study of Graphology does not qualify someone as a document examiner. Conversely, the study of document examining does not qualify someone to judge personalities through the signatures. There are some people who have studied extensively in both areas.
