Grafologie

The Nederlandse Orde van Grafologen (NOG), or Dutch Order of Graphologists, is an association dedicated to sharing information about graphology, also known as handwriting psychology, and supporting the profession’s interests and quality standards. Graphology is the study of character through the analysis of handwriting. The NOG explains how handwriting analysis may help answer focused questions about a person’s character and functioning, offering insight into strengths and areas for development.

Its website provides information on the applications and methods of graphology, professional conduct, training options, and the history of the field. The association also offers guidance for people considering education to become a handwriting psychologist or graphologist, and provides resources such as articles, a library, frequently asked questions, and information about membership and practicing graphologists. The NOG distinguishes graphology from forensic handwriting examination, which focuses on identifying writers and assessing the authenticity of signatures.

It also shares information about children’s handwriting and initiatives advocating for improved handwriting education in primary schools
