Phrenology

This is an interesting article on Phrenology. Apparently this is a site for those looking to debunk historic practices and ideas all the way from Abracadabra to Zombies. It gives a very good synopsis of the art, and there are web links throughout for all those involved.

At the end, it makes the assertion:

"Phrenological readings are not unlike astrological readings and many who have them done are satisfied that the results are uncannily accurate. The reason for this satisfaction is probably due subjective validation rather than to objective scientific data."

Highly likely; however it would be lying to say I would not want to hear what such a study determined about my mind. While we are at it, maybe it could tell me why I have a huge forehead. According to the phrenology map at this site, it must be my marvelousness.
