Psychogram
A psychogram is a term sometimes used in fields within psychology such as personality theory and perception as well as graphology and handwriting analysis, although the term has multiple senses, many of them out-of-date, and the term is not clearly defined. One sense of the term is from psychological research in the middle of the twentieth century, meaning a composite psychological measurement,[1] often a diagram, usually in the form of a circle.[2][3][4] The term was used by a few psychologists such as Dan Anthony in the 1960s.</ref>source It was used as a visual representation or "map" of an individual's personality. The term never caught on within the mainstream psychological academic establishment, possibly because there was no consistent sense of what psychograms were or how they should be used. There is a different, yet slightly related sense of the term, which refers to a specific system of handwriting analysis in the field of graphology.[5] A third sense of the term has less emphasis on measuring personality and more on measuring psychological perception, with the term being used in conjunction with the Rorschach inkblot projection technique.[6][7][8] There are other senses too but they seem to be sporadic and not used consistently. For example, the term has been used in a few book titles; the psychology department of Illinois State University used it as the title of a newsletter;[9] it was used to describe a type of poetry.[10] The term appeared briefly in 1896 in connection with early vision experiments regarding perception.[11]
