This is how your handwriting reveals exactly who you are:
Graphology is the scientific study of handwriting.

Parkinson's
As Parkinson's develops, you will see the sufferer affected by micrographia - the cramping of the handwriting style.
It can sometimes cause the sufferer's writing to be so small, it is illegible.
